ORIGINAL POSTER

Does anyone know if I'd need to have both sides of my documents translated to be legalised at MFA? The back has no useful information, only my name and address they sent the document to listed.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Users confirm that both sides of the documents need to be translated for them to be legalized at the MFA, despite one side containing minimal information.
