Curious to know if the translations have to be stapled to the corresponding documents ... or paper clipped?
Are affidavits from the translator required for EACH document, and if so, do these also have to be stapled to the translation and document?
If it helps, I am applying through the Boston Consulate.
Thank you!
Rules for attaching translations?

I've heard that you SHOULD NOT staple the translations to the documents as it will void the apostille. I was planning on paper clipping mine.

I'm not sure the secretary of state will even give apostilles for translations since the document must bear an original signature by a government clerk. The translation is essentially a copy of the original document. Also, I didn't notice this on the requirements at my consulate (S.F). They specifically say what documents need apostilles in the list of requirements:
