Certified Passport & ID
Translation

Professional translators · any language · signed Certificate of Accuracy

Many passport data pages already carry English, but internal passports, national ID cards, household registers and the stamps inside them often do not. We translate them into certified English for naturalisation, the Passport Office, EU Treaty Rights and Civil Registration Service appointments, matching every transliterated name to your other records. €29.95 per page, most orders delivered in 24 hours, with a signed and stamped Certificate of Accuracy.

Every Passport & ID Card Translation Includes

No add-ons hidden in the small print. Everything below is standard.

Signed Certificate of Accuracy

Worded to mirror the format Irish bodies publish: a statement that it is a true translation of the original, the date, the translator’s name and signature, and our address, phone and email.

Word-for-Word Accuracy

We translate the holder’s names in native script and transliteration, date and place of birth, sex, nationality, document and personal numbers, issuing authority, dates of issue and expiry, and every endorsement, residence registration stamp, marital-status stamp or visa note on the pages you submit.

Professional Translator

A native speaker with experience in your exact document type, never machine translation. The same translator across all your documents on request.

Stamp & Reference Number

Every certificate carries our company stamp and a unique reference number, which several Irish registration bodies and the Foreign Births Register ask to see.

Digital PDF, Hard Copy Optional

Emailed as a PDF on completion. Where the receiving body wants paper, add a hard copy sent by tracked post at checkout.

Free Revisions & Guarantee

Free revisions until you are happy. If a receiving body rejects the translation, we revise it free or refund you in full.

Where Irish Bodies Ask for It

A passport data page with English labels is usually enough on its own. A translation is needed when the document, or the stamps and endorsements in it, are not in English or Irish. These are the common Irish cases.

Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s ID Documents

Identity documents from Ireland’s largest communities range from bilingual biometric cards to handwritten booklets full of stamps. Here is what we watch for in the formats we see most often.

🇺🇦 Ukraine · Паспорт громадянина України

The older internal passport booklet is entirely in Ukrainian or Russian and carries residence-registration and marriage stamps, while the travel passport (закордонний паспорт) already includes English. We translate the booklet page by page, stamps included.

🇵🇱 Poland · Dowód osobisty

The Polish ID card is a valid EU travel document. Newer cards carry English field labels, but the entries themselves, and older cards, may still need a translation for some offices. We keep the PESEL number and Polish letters exact.

🇧🇷 Brazil · Carteira de Identidade

Brazil is replacing the state-issued RG with the national Carteira de Identidade Nacional (CIN), which uses the CPF as its number. We translate either format, including the parents’ names (filiação) printed on the card.

🇨🇳 China · 居民身份证 and 户口簿

The resident identity card is in Chinese only, and the household register booklet (户口簿) is often used as supporting evidence of family relationships and address history. We translate every page you submit.

🇷🇴 Romania · Carte de identitate

Romanian ID cards show the personal numeric code (CNP) and registered address (domiciliu), with address changes sometimes recorded on a separate sticker or certificate. We translate the card and any address update together.

🇬🇪 Georgia · პირადობის მოწმობა

Georgian ID cards include English, but supporting civil documents and older passports are in Georgian script only. We transliterate names in line with your Georgian passport, so every translated document agrees.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

Scan both sides of an ID card, or every page of a booklet that has entries or stamps. Tell us how your name appears in your passport; a native-speaker translator uses that spelling throughout, numbers are checked digit by digit, and you receive a signed, stamped PDF by email, ready to upload.

FAQs

Passport & ID Card Translation: Common Questions

How much does a passport or ID translation cost?+
€29.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). Most ID cards and passport data pages are a single page. The price is the same for every language.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for 1–3 pages. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request if an application deadline is close.
Does my passport need translating for Irish citizenship?+
Usually not. Most passport biometric pages already carry English labels, and ISD asks for a certified colour copy of that page. A translation is needed when entries or endorsements you rely on are not in English or Irish.
Can you certify a copy of my passport?+
No. A certified copy is a different thing from a certified translation. ISD lists a solicitor, notary public, Commissioner for Oaths or Peace Commissioner as people who can certify a copy. We translate the document; they certify the copy.
Do I need my Irish Residence Permit (IRP) translated?+
No. The IRP card is issued in Ireland in English, so Irish bodies do not need a translation. The same applies to your PPS number letters and other Irish-issued documents.
How will you spell my name?+
Exactly as it appears in the Latin-script part of your passport. Transliteration systems differ between countries, so matching your passport keeps your translation consistent with your IRP, PPS records and bank details.
My ID card has expired. Can you still translate it?+
Yes, we translate expired documents. Whether an office accepts one is its decision: for naturalisation, for example, ISD asks for a valid, in-date passport. An expired internal passport can still help show a history of names or addresses.
