The UKVI just emailed you. Your work visa application is missing one document — a character certificate from your local police station. You got it issued yesterday. The SP signed it. The stamp is clear. Everything looks perfect.
Then you read the email again: "Character certificate not in English. Cannot verify applicant's background. Submit certified translation or application will be incomplete."
You look at the certificate. Every word — your name, your father's name, your address, the police station name, the SP's designation — is in Hindi. The embassy can't read a single word.
Your work visa is on hold. Your employer in London is waiting. And everything is stalled because of a certificate in a language the embassy can't read.
Why Character Certificate Translations Get Rejected
- Entirely in Hindi/Regional Language: Character certificates from local police stations or district magistrates are issued in the state language — no English version exists.
- Police Station Stamp in Regional Script: The station name, SHO designation, and police seal are in the regional language — embassies can't verify the issuing authority.
- Personal Details in Hindi: Your name, father's name, address, and duration of residence are all in the regional language.
- No Certification Statement: You used a casual translator who didn't provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy — the embassy rejects it immediately.
