A certified passport translation presents the required passport information in the target language and includes a signed certification statement, translator or agency details, the certification date and a clear layout that can be checked against the original.
Passport Pages and Details We Can Translate
Not every application requires a translation of the entire passport. Some receiving organisations need only the biodata page, while others may request relevant visas, observations, endorsements or travel stamps.
Send the pages you have been asked to provide, or tell us where the documents will be submitted so the required scope can be reviewed before you order unnecessary pages.

When You May Need a Passport Translation
A passport translation may be requested when an organisation needs to assess identity, nationality, travel history or passport details that appear in another language.
Requirements vary between organisations. Check the instructions for your application or share them with the team before ordering.

Passport details, visa pages or relevant stamps for immigration submissions.
Nationality applications

Quality Checks Before Delivery
Passport documents contain precise identity information. The translated content is reviewed carefully so that names, dates, document numbers and other details remain consistent with the source.
- Names and transliterations checked for consistency
- Date of birth, issue date and expiry date reviewed
- Passport and document numbers checked carefully
- Nationality and issuing-authority details reviewed
- Visible stamps, seals and annotations accounted for

Send the spelling of your name as it appears in existing English records when relevant. This can help identify inconsistencies before the translation is finalised.

Passport Translation Questions
Check the required pages and certification format with the receiving organisation whenever its instructions are unclear.
Do I need to translate every page of my passport?
Not always. Some organisations require only the passport biodata page. Others may also ask for observation pages, visas, endorsements or entry and exit stamps.
Can you translate passport stamps as well as the ID page?
Yes. Relevant entry stamps, exit stamps, visas, seals and legible annotations can be translated together with the passport biodata page.
Is the passport translation certified?
Yes. The certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy, the relevant translator or agency details and a date.
Can you provide a certified translation for the Passport Office?
Passport translations can be prepared for passport-related submissions where HM Passport Office or another organisation has requested a certified English translation.
Can you translate a passport urgently?
Same-day, 12-hour and 24-hour options are available for suitable passport documents, subject to availability and document scope.
Is a phone photograph sufficient?
A clear, well-lit photograph is usually sufficient to begin the review. All text, stamps, edges and document details must be visible.
How much does a certified passport translation cost?
Pricing depends on the number of passport pages, language pair and selected turnaround. Upload the relevant pages to confirm the total.
Can I order passport and ID card translations together?
Yes. A passport, national ID card and other supporting identity documents can be reviewed as one document set.
Can I combine my passport with other translated documents?
Yes. Passport translation can be ordered with birth certificates, marriage certificates, residence permits and supporting documents.
How are passport documents handled?
Passport and personal information is handled securely and shared only with the linguists and reviewers required for the project.
