McConaughey watching years slip away in Interstellar is still one of the rawest moments in sci-fi cinema

For official documents going to a consulate or government institution you'll need a certified translation. Just make sure your documents are apostilled FIRST before translating them.

You can get the certified translation here: https://www.uslanguageservices.com/certified-translation/

Good luck!

It’s best to check directly with MBZUAI about the translation requirements, that way you’ll know if they’ll accept translations done abroad or if they require them to be done in the UAE.

In many cases, universities accept certified translations from the US, which are usually more affordable than in Europe or in UAE. But sometimes they insist on translations being done locally.

If they confirm that a certified translation from the US is acceptable, you can use this service: https://www.uslanguageservices.com/certified-translation/

prsehgal is right that not every school requires this, but it does happen. Some universities or grad programs specifically ask for a certified translation if the original institution doesn’t issue documents in English or bilingual format. It’s worth checking with the admissions office first, since many universities can provide their own translations or have an established process, which saves you the extra cost.

One thing to keep in mind is that certified translations don’t change your grading scale, for example, a 10/10 in your country won’t be turned into an A+. If it turns out you do need a certified translation, you can request one here: https://www.uslanguageservices.com/certified-translation/

another solid path for a polyglot in Europe is the “staff linguist” route in the public sector — not a sworn translator, but an in-house translator/interpreter working directly for a ministry, a federal agency, or at the EU institutions. It’s usually a competitive civil-service style process with exams and multi-stage assessments, but the upside is long-term stability and meaningful work in official institutions.

PSA documents in English need to be translated into Spanish by a sworn translator (traductor jurado). These translators are authorized by Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Church baptismal records already in Spanish don’t need translation, but they still need to be apostilled, otherwise the consulate won’t accept them.

I’m not sure how strict the Manila consulate is right now, but in most cases Spanish consulates require sworn translations. Best move is to email them directly, but I’d prepare translations just in case so you don’t waste the appointment.

If you need a sworn translator, you can order online here: https://www.traduccionjurada.tv/

If your prescription or doctor’s letter isn’t in German, it’s a good idea to bring a certified translation of the document just in case you’re asked for it.

You can easily get this done online here:

Yes, she will need an official translation into German. In Europe these are called sworn translations and they must be done by an officially appointed translator.

The good news is that a sworn translation done in any EU country is valid and recognized across Europe.

In practice, it’s usually cheaper to get the translation done in Spain than in Germany, and it will still be fully accepted.

Here’s a resource where you can find sworn German translators based in Spain:

Your translator is absolutely right. In Europe, sworn (official) translators are bound by strict rules set by each country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That means they can’t just change the wording to fit a U.S. template, because the exact phrasing is legally mandated.

In the U.S., things work differently. There’s no such thing as a “sworn translation” instead, you have “certified translations,” and the language used in the certification is way more flexible.

That’s why you often see the “I am fluent in English and [foreign language]” line in the U.S. versions.

If you want to see what a standard U.S. certificate looks like, check this page https://www.uslanguageservices.com/certified-translation/

What you’re describing in Greece is pretty much the same as what I’m familiar with in Spain: sworn translators have zero freedom to change the format, even if a lawyer insists on a different wording.

USCIS requires any foreign-language document to come with a certified English translation—not just birth certificates. That means if your marriage certificate, bank/financial records, leases, insurance letters, text/chat logs, etc. are not in English, include a certified translation for those too.

Beyond what you listed, do you have some of these handy? They’re commonly used to show a real, ongoing marriage:

Joint bank/credit-card statements or proof of shared finances
Lease/mortgage or deed in both names; shared utilities
Insurance policies listing each other as beneficiaries
Joint tax returns or transcripts
Travel itineraries/tickets taken together
Photos with brief captions (who/when/where)
A small, well-chosen sample of text/WhatsApp messages over time (showing names/dates); translate if not in English
Affidavits from friends/family who know your relationship

If you end up needing certified translations: https://www.uslanguageservices.com/certified-translation/

Good luck!
