Athlete license translation

An athlete license shows the athlete's registration with their federation and right to compete. Its translation is required for international transfers, overseas tournament visas, scholarship applications and trials with foreign clubs.

Young athletes' files are usually combined files: a club letter, federation permission document and, for those under 18, a letter of consent accompany the license in the same package. Sport, category and season details and federation names are translated using their international equivalents.

Which institutions request this document?

  • Foreign clubs and sports academies
  • International federations — for transfer and visa letters
  • Consulates — in athlete visa files
  • Overseas schools — for athletic scholarship applications

Certification requirements

Is notarisation required?

Notarized translations may be required in visa files; a sworn translation is usually sufficient for club and academy applications.

Is an apostille required?

It is rarely required; if needed for federation documents, the administrative chain applies.

There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.

Preparing your document

  • Send the club and federation letters with the license
  • If the athlete is under 18, clarify the need for a letter of consent early
  • Specify the tournament or trial dates; delivery is planned accordingly

Frequently asked questions

How are sport and category names translated?

The international federation's official terminology is used; age categories (such as U15 and U17) are preserved using their international codes.

Which sports documents are required for a visa?

This varies by consulate; the license, invitation letter, federation permission and, for young athletes, letter of consent are the most commonly required. If you send the consulate's list, the file is prepared as a whole.
