Applying for a UK visa from Pakistan requires several official documents to be translated into English before submission to the British High Commission Islamabad or VFS Global Pakistan. In this guide, we explain exactly which documents need certified translation, the requirements for UK visa applications, and how to get your documents translated quickly and correctly.
If your documents are in Urdu or any other regional language, the British High Commission requires certified English translations of the following documents:
- Birth certificate (NADRA or Union Council)
- Marriage certificate or Nikah Nama
- CNIC and NADRA Family Registration Certificate
- Police clearance certificate (FIA PCC)
- Bank statements (if originally in Urdu)
- Employment letters and salary certificates
- Property documents (for visit visa financial proof)
- Educational certificates and transcriptsThe UK Home Office and UKVI require translations to include:
1. A signed statement from the translator confirming the translation is a true and accurate translation of the original document
