Bank statement translation

A bank statement and balance confirmation letter are required for visa applications, study applications and proof of financial means. They show whether the application meets the financial resources requirement.

Amounts, dates and currency are preserved as they appear in the source document; no currency conversion is performed. The bank's stamp and signature details are also reproduced; institutions use them to verify the document's authenticity.

Which institutions request this document?

  • Banks — for opening accounts
