Translations of Docs for NGO visa

Hey all! I'm in the process of gathering all the docs I need to apply for a NGO visa to Colombia. I'm wondering if anyone knows if the translations have to be done by a business/professional translator (ie-with some kind of degree/license to do so), or if a friend and I can just do it?

Appreciate your help.

NGO= Non-Governmental Organization It's like a private, not-for-profit orgnaization -more or less- that usually works on community development or human rights issues.

Translations For my TS marriage certificate I simple had a native speaker translate them for me. I then had them type an affidavit and had it notarized and apostilled. Over kill maybe but it sailed right through. If you have questions I would call the Colombian consulate nearest to you.

Use a professional From my experience it is best to use a professional and to do everything in a way that leaves little room for error. We used a certified translator here in Colombia although I had orginally used on in Miami for my spousal via. Any specific questions, just write me.
