Hi guys,

I'm a Canadian citizen, sponsoring my Indonesian wife to Canada (outland through Singapore). Currently her paperwork is still being processed through stage 2 in Singapore.

Recently she renewed her (Indonesian) passport (because old one's expiring in less than 6 months from today) and would like to send a photocopy of the new passport to the Canadian High Commissions in Singapore.

(The passport's bilingual; it's got captions in both English and Indonesian).

Should she get the passport photocopy legalised by a notary public?

(and of course no need for a sworn translation since the passport's bilingual right?)

If it has English next to local, you don't need to have it translated. About notarization- you do not need to notarize it either, and it will not hurt if you'll decide to.
