A: When dealing with a Mexican bank statement for immigration purposes, it’s typically sufficient to translate only the pages that show essential information, such as your name, account number, and balance. However, some authorities may request the entire document to ensure all information is complete and accurate. To avoid any issues, it’s a good idea to check the specific requirements for your application or consult with someone who can provide guidance based on your situation.

Regarding the Mexican appraisal, you generally only need to translate the page that displays the property's value. Again, while this may be enough for most cases, having the complete translation can provide clarity and prevent delays in processing your application. It’s best to confirm whether the specific agency or authority has any additional requirements for the appraisal document.

Ultimately, preparing comprehensive translations can be beneficial. Having all relevant information readily available may facilitate a smoother process when submitting your documents. Always keep a close eye on any specific instructions provided by the agency you are working with to ensure you meet all necessary requirements.
