If a residence permit application has attachments written in a language other than Finnish, Swedish or English, the applicant must have them translated by an authorised translator. The applicant must pay the translator’s fee.

A document issued by an authority in an EU Member State concerning birth, marriage, registered partnership or death does not need to be translated, if the applicant can attach to the document a multilingual standard form issued by the authority. You can request for this multilingual standard form from the authority that has issued the document.
