The Embassy of Colombia in the United States is located in Washington, D.C. The Embassy handles many different processes for Colombian citizens and non-citizens. Among the processes in its jurisdiction are visas to Colombia, Colombian citizenship and Colombian passport services, among others. In today’s article, we will discuss translation services for the Colombian Embassy in the United States.
Whenever applying for a process at the Colombian Embassy that includes documents that are not in Spanish, they will need to be translated to Spanish in order to be accepted. In addition to translating the document, usually all documents that have been issued in the US will require an apostille that must be translated to Spanish as well prior to submitting it to the Embassy. For example, a US birth certificate will need to be apostilled and then both the birth certificate and apostille will need to be translated to Spanish. The applicant must obtain the apostille prior to translating the document.
It is imperative that the translation step is carried out according to the Embassy’s rules, otherwise, it could lead to delayed process or worse, a denied application. As a result, it is recommended to verify all translation requirements with the Embassy or Consulate where you are applying to ensure compliance with these. Different processes may have different rules and requirements, and thus, it is important to understand what these are prior to submitting your documents for translation.
In addition to ensuring the translation is correct, the translations need to be completed by a certified translator.
