An institutional conduct reference — what should you know about matching names to the passport?

The issue to settle here is “An institutional conduct reference”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. The specifics here are document type: Conduct, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are institutional · conduct · reference · know. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. Before starting, keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures, then make sure document numbers, issue dates and issuing-office names match across the set, then ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. Degree titles, field names and grading scales follow the issuing institution's official wording rather than a fresh interpretation. Prepare at least one spare certified set, since applications usually go to several institutions at once. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. 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. ILC handles document work only — translation, certification of the translation, notarial signature certification and the legalisation run at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies. ILC is not an educational institution or a credential-evaluation body and cannot guarantee recognition or admission. 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.
