Best Practices for Uploading Original and Translated Lease Documents

When submitting lease documents as part of a documentation process on SavvyNomad, it is important to ensure that both the original version and any translations are uploaded correctly. Below are the detailed guidelines on how to meet these requirements:

General Submission Guidelines

  • Always upload all relevant pages of your lease agreement. Avoid uploading only partial or incomplete pages as they may not be accepted. Your lease must show (1) the complete address, as it appears exactly on your 1583 form; (2) a expiration date in the future or auto-renewing language in order to show the lease isn't expired; (3) the signature pages (these can be digital or signed by a pen)

  • Supported leases can include both the original version in a foreign language (e.g., Spanish) and an English or other language translation for enhanced clarity.

Requirements for Original and Translated Documents

  • Include all signed pages from the original lease when uploading. The presence of signatures on the original lease is mandatory.

  • Translated documents do not require signatures, although having those can be helpful. This is optional but not compulsory.

Document Combination Instructions

  • You are encouraged to combine all documents into a single file upload for simplicity and better organization. For instance, create a single PDF starting with the original signed lease followed by its translated version. This avoids multiple uploads and ensures the easy review of all pages.

Following these best practices ensures a smooth, efficient process when submitting your lease documents.
