Hi All,

Does any one know if a French Police Cert Check needs to be translated into english to lodge a Spouse Visa in UK.
PCC is blank - ie. no police records - surely they can figure that one out just from looking at it - even though it is in French!!!
Any advice - we want to make sure we do it all right the first time!
Also if it does need to be translated - know where we can get it done??

Cheers

It says somewhere in Booklet 6 that all the documents you submit have to be in English. If it is not in English, you have to translate it. The translation has to be made by a certified translator and that translator can be French, or any nationality, no problem. He/ she must be qualified to make translations from French into English and this can be proven with a short statement at the end of the translation or with the stamp, if the stamp shows it. The translation must be certified by a notary public.
You have to submit both the French original document and the original certified translation.

Good luck!

The answer is Yes. I am in a similar situation, filed for 136 skilled & had to get French PCC. My lawyer told me it needs to be translated.

Thanks for those replies.

Brayden - where did you find a translator????

My lawyer offered to get it translated using their translator. The cost was $AU35, which is much more reasonable than what I would have paid overseas. I am sorry I don't know who the translator is.
