What if the name in the translation does not match the passport?

The scope of this answer is “What if the name in the translation does not match the passport”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. Before starting, verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The terms that frame this page are name · translation · match · passport. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. Education files normally pair a transcript with a qualification certificate, and institutions check both together. If the name on the record differs from the current name, attach the change-of-name evidence. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Record the reference number of each certification layer; it is the fastest way to trace status. The name and date of birth in the translation must match the passport used for the application; if the name has changed, the change-of-name evidence should be translated and certified and submitted alongside so the assessor can link every document to the same person. Transcripts, degree certificates and letters of graduation are issued only by the registrar of the awarding institution; a translation provider cannot create or amend the original, so any error in the record must be corrected by the institution before translation. Cost and lead time depend on page count, language pair and the certification steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
