If documents are in a foreign language, what accompanying documentation is required?

• A. A notarized translation into English of all documents
• B. A notarized translation into English of the documents or copy prepared by a translation service approved by the Board
• C. No translation is required
• D. A certified translation by the applicant

Answer: (B)

When documents come in a foreign language, you must provide an English translation to accompany them. The accepted path is either a notarized translation into English of the documents or a copy prepared by a translation service approved by the Board. This ensures the translations are accurate and verifiable: notarization adds sworn verification of the translator’s work, while using an approved translation service guarantees the board has confidence in the translation quality. Submitting untranslated documents or relying on the applicant to provide a self-certified translation isn’t how the rule is written, and requiring a translation only by the applicant doesn’t align with the approved options.
