Your scholarship interview is in 2 weeks. Fulbright shortlisted you. The selection committee needs your caste certificate as part of the diversity documentation.
You dig out the certificate from your files. It's from your tehsildar's office. Every word — your name, your father's name, your caste category, the issuing authority — is in Hindi. The tehsildar's stamp is in Hindi. The seal is in Hindi.
You email it to the Fulbright office. They reply: "Caste certificate not accompanied by certified English translation. Cannot process your diversity documentation."
Your scholarship deadline is in 10 days. The Fulbright committee meets once a year. If you miss this cycle, you wait another 12 months. All because of a $6.99 translation nobody thought to get.
Why Caste Certificate Translations Get Rejected
- Entirely in Hindi/Regional Language: Caste certificates from tehsildar/collector offices are issued entirely in the state language.
- Tehsildar Stamp & Seal in Regional Script: The issuing authority's name, office jurisdiction, and official seal are in the regional language.
- Caste Category Details in Hindi: SC, ST, OBC category classification and sub-caste details are printed in the regional language.
- No Certification = Rejected: Universities, scholarship bodies, and immigration authorities require a signed Certificate of Accuracy.
