<div> <p>If you have any official documents that you think may support your claim, they should normally be translated into English before the Home Office can consider them. Speak to your legal representative about this.</p> <p>Documents may include:</p> <ul> <li>• Passports and travel papers</li> <li>• Birth, marriage and/or death certificates</li> <li>• Papers related to any arrest/detention</li> <li>• Papers provided by a court, magistrate or other official documents</li> <li>• Newspaper articles or internet sites that relate to your claim</li> <li>• Any other evidence that you may be able to provide (e.g. photographs)</li> <li>• Any medical evidence to support your claim</li> </ul> <p>Your legal representative (if you have one) will help you translate documents and will be best placed to advise you about what may be relevant. If possible, you should try to provide any documents to the Home Office before your interview, including potential written witness statements. If you have documents in your home country that you think are important, you should discuss this with your legal representative as soon as possible. It may be possible to delay the consideration of your claim while you arrange for these documents to be sent here, providing it is safe for you or your family to do so.</p> <p>The Home Office will keep any documents you provide safely, whilst your claim is considered. The Home Office will not accept documents that have not been translated.</p> </div>
