Guidelines for Submitting Documents in a Foreign Language for GInI Certification

Do Certificates in a Foreign Language Need to Be Translated?

At Global Innovation Institute, we aim to ensure that the certification process is accessible and fair for candidates from diverse linguistic backgrounds. To achieve this, here's what you need to know about submitting documents in a foreign language:


Original or Certified Copies:

  • Candidates are required to provide the original certificates or certified copies of their documents. These original documents should be issued by the relevant educational or professional institutions.

Certified Translation:

  • If your documents are not in English, it's essential to provide a certified translation for each document. The translation should accurately represent the content of the original document.

Translation Certification:

  • The translation should be certified by a qualified and authorized translator or a recognized translation agency. The certification should confirm the accuracy of the translation.

Document Clarity:

  • It's crucial that both the original document and the translated version are clear and legible. This ensures that the information can be accurately reviewed during the certification application process.

Document Verification:

  • GInI may verify the authenticity of both the original document and the translation. This verification process is part of our commitment to maintaining the integrity and credibility of our certification programs.

Certification Application:

  • When submitting your certification application, include both the original document and its certified translation. This ensures that our certification review process can be conducted accurately.

In summary, candidates applying for GInI certification with documents in a foreign language should ensure the submission of both the original document and its certified translation into English. This practice helps maintain the accuracy and integrity of the certification process, enabling candidates from diverse linguistic backgrounds to participate effectively.

GInI is committed to providing support and guidance throughout the certification process. If you have questions or need assistance regarding document translation or any other aspect of the application process, please don't hesitate to reach out to our certification team.
