Document translation, Document category: Identity & Civil Registry

Passport

A passport is the travel and identity document issued by a person's country of nationality. Translations usually cover the personal data page and, where relevant, visa stamps or endorsements.

Typical translation use cases

Residence permit and work permit applications
Notarial procedures and powers of attorney
University enrolment and bank account opening

Practical considerations

The spelling of names in the passport is normally used as the reference for all other translations.
Some authorities ask for every page with stamps, not only the photo page.

Requirements vary

Requirements for this document vary according to the receiving institution and the destination country. Please check with the institution that will receive it whether it needs a standard translation, a certified translation by a sworn translator, notarisation, an apostille or consular legalisation. These are separate steps and one cannot replace another.
