Where it gets filed

The document every office reads first.

A passport is the anchor identity document in almost any cross-border file: everything else gets checked against it. When the passport itself is in another language, its translation becomes the reference point — which is why the spellings on it have to be handled with unusual care.

USCIS and immigration

Petitions and applications use the passport to fix identity, nationality, and validity dates. Officers compare every other document’s names against it, so the translation is the spelling standard for the whole file.

Courts and legal matters

Identity in litigation, estate claims, and guardianship often rests on a foreign passport. A certified translation puts its particulars into the record in a form the clerk can accept.

Banks and institutions

Account opening, property purchases, and compliance checks ask for identity documents in English. A certified translation of the bio page answers the request without surrendering your original.

Universities and employers

Admissions and HR verify identity and match records issued under transliterated names. The passport translation is what ties a diploma in one spelling to the person in front of them.

What gets translated

Small document, dense with detail.

A passport page packs more regulated detail per square inch than almost any other document. The translation accounts for all of it — and is honest about the parts that are codes rather than language.

  • Names as the state wrote them

    Surname and given names exactly as issued, with translator’s notes where national spelling and common usage diverge.

  • Numbers and validity dates

    Passport number, issue and expiry dates, and issuing authority carried across without deviation.

  • The machine-readable zone

    The MRZ is a code, not prose — it is reproduced as printed and noted as machine-readable, never “translated” into something it is not.

  • Stamps and visas

    Entry and exit stamps, visa labels, and extension stickers translated in place when your case needs the full booklet.

  • Observations and endorsements

    The observations page — name changes, restrictions, amendments — translated completely; it exists precisely because it modifies the rest.

  • Faded stamps, flagged

    Border stamps blur and fade. Anything unreadable is marked illegible in position rather than reconstructed from guesswork.

What you receive

  • A signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy meeting USCIS requirements.
  • Formatting that mirrors the original: stamps, seals, tables and signatures.
  • One PDF, ready to file, kept in your dashboard for re-download.
  • The exact total shows before you pay. We count words instead of rounding up to pages, so a short document costs less than a dense one.

Every file and session is covered by an NDA and sent over an encrypted connection. Clinical matters are handled in line with HIPAA.

Before you order

Bio page or full booklet — scope it to your case.

Most filings need only the bio page. Some turn on where you were and when — and then every stamp becomes evidence. Deciding this before you order is the difference between paying for two pages and paying for forty.

One page, near the starting price
Fastest to deliver

The standard scope for identity purposes: petitions, banks, universities. If nobody asked for your travel history, this is almost certainly the order.

Full booklet with stamps

Every entry, exit, and visa translated
Establishes presence and travel timelines
Asylum, residence, and litigation cases
Priced by what the pages actually hold

Ordered when the case turns on where you were: continuous-presence claims, asylum timelines, disputes. Word-count pricing means empty pages cost nothing.

Unsure which scope your receiver expects? Ask them before you order — and if the answer is “just identity,” the bio page is the answer.

FAQ

The questions that actually come up.

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01Will USCIS accept your passport translation?

Yes. It is delivered as a complete English translation of the pages you order with a signed Certificate of Accuracy — the standard for foreign-language evidence. For identity purposes the bio page is normally what a filing uses; if an officer has asked for more, order the pages they named.

02Do you translate the machine-readable zone at the bottom of the bio page?

We reproduce it exactly as printed and label it as the machine-readable zone. It is an encoding, not a sentence — a translation that pretends otherwise is wrong on its face, and reviewers know it. The human-readable fields above it carry the same information in translatable form.

03My name is spelled one way in my passport and another way on my birth certificate.

Both documents are translated as issued — we never harmonize spellings silently. Tell us both versions when you order and we will add a translator’s note recording that they are romanizations of the same source-script name, which is exactly the explanation a reviewer needs to see.

04My passport has stamps in several languages. Can one order cover them?

Yes. Booklets collect stamps in whatever languages the borders spoke. Each is translated by a linguist for its language under one order, with the certificate covering the complete work.

05How is the price calculated?

By word count. A bio page stays at the starting price of $24.95; for a full booklet we count what is actually stamped and written, and the exact total shows before you pay. Blank pages are free because they contain nothing to translate.

06Is it safe to upload my passport?

Files are transferred and stored encrypted, access is limited to the linguists working your order, and we never publish or share client documents. If you want the file deleted after delivery, say so and we will confirm the deletion.
