When You Need Your Passport Translated
Most passports already print the data page in English, so many people only need part of it translated. You need a certified translation when:
- You submit visa, entry, or exit stamps as evidence, for example to prove continuous residence or a date of entry.
- The DMV, a bank, or an employer asks for an English version of an older passport or national ID card.
- The data page, or part of it, is only in another language or script.
- An amendment or observation page records a name change.
You upload only the pages you need, and your quote is based on those pages. Names are transliterated the same way across every document in your order, following the Latin spelling already printed in your passport.

Translating Identity Documents for a Move to the US?

Frequently Asked Questions About Passport Translation
Most passports already show the biographical page in English, so USCIS rarely needs a translation of that page. You need a certified translation when the data page or stamps you submit as evidence are only in another language. Get your certified translation for USCIS.
Certified translation costs a maximum of $24.50 per page for Spanish, French, Portuguese, and other common languages, and $36.50 per page for Chinese, Korean, and other Asian languages. Digital notarization is included free. You pay only for the pages you upload, and your instant quote shows the price before you order. See all prices on our pricing page.
Upload every page that you will submit: the data page, and any visa, entry, or exit stamps you need as evidence. Each uploaded page is translated in full, and your quote is based on the pages you send.
Yes. Upload the pages with the stamps you need, and every stamp, date, and handwritten note is translated in full. Read our passport translation guide before you choose which pages to upload.
Our translators transliterate names the same way across all of your documents, and they follow the Latin spelling already printed in your passport when there is one. If your name changed, add the court order or registry record that shows it. See how we translate name change documents.
USCIS asks for a certified translation, not a notarized one. Digital notarization is included free for offices that do ask for it, and hard-copy delivery starts at $35 within the US. If the DMV also needs your foreign license in English, add it to the same order. See how we translate driver's licenses.
A certified translation with a signed certificate of accuracy is what most agencies and banks ask for, and digital notarization is included free. Requirements differ by state and institution, so check with them before you order. Upload your passport pages for an instant quote.

Read all 1,744 reviewsVery professional and extremely competent and expedient, at a very affordable rate. My Vitalchek order, which required providing a certified translation of my French birth certificate,was immediately approved. The translation and format used to respect the original handwritten document were excellent along with the notarized certificate accompanying the translation. Thanks for a great job. XB
