Whether you are applying for a Colombian visa, applying for Colombian citizenship or registering a marriage in Colombia, it is important to understand which documentation is needed and gather it ahead of time to avoid any delays. Any foreign documents not in Spanish submitted to the consulate will need a translation in order to be accepted. Documents such as vital records will also require an apostille, if the document comes from an apostille country, like the United States. For more information about apostilles, please click here.
Translations submitted to the Colombian consulates must follow the rules of the consulate. Each consulate can have its own rules and requirements for translation submissions, so it is important to understand what these are prior to hiring a translation company. Some Colombian consulates require official translations from Colombia, while others will accept certified translations completed in the United States. What the consulate accepts is at their sole discretion, and any questions about the submission process must be directed to the consulates.
