certified translations?

[LoveinPeru 2]

Hi Vjers,

I believe that my fiance (the beneficiary) needs a certified and notarized translation of his birth certificate and police certificate for his K-1 interview. Is this correct?

If so, does anyone know how I would go about finding a certified translator in his city (Cusco, Peru)?

No, that's incorrect. He only needs an original or certified copy of his birth and police certificates. Translations are not needed unless they are only available in a language other than English or Spanish.

Most county allow original language documents for interview.

Translation Requirements

All documents not written in English, or in the official language of the country in which application for a visa is being made, must be accompanied by certified translations. The translation must include a statement signed by the translator stating that the:

• Translation is accurate, and
• Translator is competent to translate.

Note "certified" just means the person translating simply makes a notation on the translation that they are fluent and competent in both languages, and they sign date and provide contact info. it does not need to be notarized.

Hello!

For Peru, you need the following:

- birth certificate

-Court records ("Certificado Judicial de Antecedentes Penales")

-Penal records ("Antecedentes Judiciales a Nivel Nacional")

-Police certificate is only needed for other countries if lived in another country for more than 12 months.

All certificates need to be certified by RENIEC and then legalized. No translations are required for the interview in Lima, but you will need to provide translations for the AOS. You can have someone who is fluent in both languages translate and sign the translation. I think this info is on the USCIS website.
