I would like in this new thread as a dv winners to share our cost in our different countries and if we can convert it in US$
 
I waned to share my experiences, I'm from DRCongo but I'm living in South africa. To get a birth certificate in my country I paid 180$, to get a police clearance I paid 150$, here in South Africa to get a police clearance I paid 5,9$ and marriage certificate is 7$. For medical test they are asking for 250$. It is not cheap to get a green card even if it is a lottery.

Wow! Congo must be some really expensive place, or most people must be able to get by without a birth certificate. Either way, very unusual.

Police report for free
Medical Exam $380 ($265/minimum + vaccination and/or antibody test)/person

I think not so expensive.

What's expensive for someone in Japan and what's expensive for someone in Africa can be very different...
 
I can see that some countries are very cheap in public service. Here in South Africa translation is 10$/page. And you can not translate yourself you must use a service from a professional as stated. A congolese biometric passport is 220$. All the price given multiply by 4.

I'm in Bulgaria. Here there is no need to translate the docs. Just the originals in Bulgarian + a copy of each one.

In every consulate they should accept documents in English OR the local official language. So if someone had documents in French and they had their interview in Bulgaria they WOULD need the translations.

There are a couple that require translations into English - stated in embassy specific requirements - this is rare though, and as you say local language documents are usually fine.
