| Asylum & Protection Claims | International protection requested due to fear of harm or persecution in home nation. | Evidentiary focus on personal testimony, country reports, medical records, and legal files. |

Before submitting your translated file package to an embassy or immigration department, confirm the following core items:
Ensure multi-page records contain all back pages, official stamps, seals, and signatures without crop edges.
Verify that candidate names and birth dates match your international passport spelling character for character.
Confirm whether the receiving authority requires sworn certification, notarization, or certified agency seals.
Check that time-sensitive items like police clearance certificates and bank statements remain within active validity dates.
