Passport Translation Services in Singapore
If your passport is printed in Chinese, Thai, Burmese, Korean or Arabic, the officer in front of you cannot read it, and your file stops right there. Our passport translation services in Singapore give you a clean English copy of that page, ready to hand in. Work pass holders, foreign husbands and wives, students, new drivers and business owners come to us for this every single week.
We have been doing this work since 2003, in more than 200 languages, and a second person checks every page before it is signed. Your certified passport translation is prepared to be accepted by ICA, MOM, ROM, the Traffic Police, the courts, banks and embassies, and when a notarised passport translation is needed, we arrange the notary and the Academy of Law step for you. Send one clear photo of your passport page and you will have a price and a delivery date within the hour.

Foreign Passport Translation Into English From 200+ Languages
Every country lays out its passport in its own way, so a birth town or an office name is very easy to get wrong. A real person who reads your language every day will translate your passport to English, and never a machine. Passport bio page translation is what most people need. Find your language below.
Also read here: Khmer, Lao, Nepali, Bengali, Sinhala, Urdu, Farsi, Turkish, Mongolian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Dutch and Ukrainian passports
Do you still have your older passport at home? Please send it along with your current one in the same order. Officers often look at both books together, and doing them at the same time means your name is spelt the same way on every paper you hand in.
Passport Translation For Singapore Residents Filing Papers Abroad
Some jobs travel the other way around. Your Singapore passport is already in English, but that does not help an officer sitting in Seoul, Madrid or Riyadh. We turn it into their language and add the seals they ask for, including an apostille passport translation. An official passport translation like this is needed for four main reasons.
Course Places Overseas
Student visa offices in Japan, Korea, China, Germany and France ask for this before they will hold your seat.
Living And Working Away
Long stay permit offices in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey and Thailand want it when you move there for years.
Weddings And Family Files
Marriage offices in China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Korea and the Gulf ask for it when you marry in that country.
Firms, Land And Claims
Company offices, land offices and judges in Dubai, Malaysia, Japan and China need it before they will act.

Reasons Clients Trust Our Passport Translation Service Singapore
Your passport holds your name, your birth town and a record of where you have been, so handing it to a stranger is a big step. One wrong letter can also cost you months of waiting. Below is what a passport translator on our team checks on every job, and why people call this professional passport translation they can rely on.
One Spelling On Every Paper
We match your name to your passport, then check it against every other document going into the same file.
We Tell You To Spend Less
If your office will accept a plain signed page, we skip the seal and charge you the smaller amount instead.
You See The Draft First
You read your own name, birth date and birth town, and only after you agree does the stamp go on.
Real People, Never Software
A named translator does your pages and signs them. We have never sent out free tool output under our stamp.
Only Two People See It
A translator and a checker open your file. Both sign a privacy promise, and your copy is deleted when you ask.
Free Redo If Questioned
If an office sends our page back over the way it was prepared, we will redo it for you at no cost.
Chinese Passport Translation Sample Carrying A Notary Seal
More Chinese passports reach our desk than any other kind, so Chinese passport translation is the sample people ask to see most. Use the two buttons below to switch views. One shows the page exactly as the issuing office printed it, and the other shows the certified English translation of passport pages that an officer here will read.
Name Page With Five Stamp Pages
Birth county and office in Chinese only
There were two short notes near the back that free tools read wrongly, plus a red seal across one corner.
What he brought us
EP holder applying for PR
- His birth county was written two ways on older papers

How we handled it
One name, one clean set
- We read the seals and the issuing office
- We kept every date exactly as printed
- We matched the name to his birth paper

Certified Passport Translation Price In Singapore Explained
Only two things change your total, and those are how many pages you send and the level your office asks for. Government fees are passed on to you at cost, with nothing added by us. So the passport translation cost below is a real starting point, and same day passport translation is there if your date is very close.
Certified Translation
1-2 working daysStarting from. The rate drops as pages add up.
- Your name, birth date, birth town and issuing office are all carried across
- A signed note on our letterhead names the person who did the work
- You see a draft and agree to it before the stamp goes on
- This is enough for MOM passes, schools, banks and employers
Notarised Translation
3-7 working daysStarting from, added to the page cost.
- Everything in the certified plan is included here
- A Notary Public in Singapore signs and seals your pages
- We book the Academy of Law step and charge it to you at cost
- This is the level PR, citizenship, court and overseas files ask for
Same Day Translation
12-24 hoursStarting from
- Your passport moves to the front of the queue straight away
- This is made for a pass deadline or a booked appointment
- You get the PDF first and the sealed copy right after it
- One small team handles it from start to finish
Rare languages and rush jobs cost a little more. There are fewer translators in Singapore for languages such as German, French and Arabic than there are for Chinese or Malay, and a twelve hour job costs more than a two day one. You will always be told which of these applies to you in the quote, and never later in the bill.

Related Certified Translation Services Ordered Alongside Passport Work
A passport copy translation almost never travels on its own. Your birth paper shows who your parents are, your marriage paper shows your spouse, and your household register shows your home address. The officer reads all of them next to your passport, so every name has to match. Here are the certified document translation pages people order with this one.
Put Your Whole File Into One Order
Most files need more than one paper. Add your birth certificate, marriage certificate, household register, ID card or driving licence to the same order. One team will then handle all of them, and you will get one price, one delivery date and the same spelling of your name on every page.
Passport Translation Doubts Cleared Before You Order
These are the ten questions people really ask us before they send anything over, including the ones about cost, privacy and urgent passport translation. We have answered them here the way we would answer you on the phone. If your question about certified passport translation is not on this list, send us a message and you will get a straight answer.
FAQ Group
Part of my passport page is already in English. Do I really need a translation?
Send it to us first, and that check will cost you nothing. Many passports print your name in English but keep the birth town, the issuing office and the notes at the back in the home language. An officer treats a half English page as a page that was never translated at all. If your page really is English from top to bottom, we will tell you so and you can keep your money.
My wife speaks both languages. Can she translate it and you simply stamp it?
We are not able to do that, and no honest company will. The stamp is a promise that the person signing did the work and stands behind every word on the page. Pages typed at home and pages copied from a free tool are both spotted quickly, and the file comes back with weeks lost. Your wife is very welcome to read our draft though, because a second pair of eyes on a birth town has saved many orders.
Is your company approved by ICA?
No company is, and anyone who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. ICA does not give approvals to translation companies at all. What it does instead is name the routes it will accept, such as a notary public or an embassy standing behind the page. We work inside those routes, and we will tell you which one your file needs before you pay us anything.
Do I send only the name page, or the stamp pages as well?
For most people the name page is the whole job. Stamp pages are only needed when you have to show where you were living in past years, which happens with longer residence files. Tell us why you are filing and we will point out the exact pages you need, so that you never pay for even one sheet more than the office wants to see.
My passport is old and some of the print has worn away. Will that stop you?
It rarely does. Worn covers and faded ink come through here every week of the year. Take the photo in daylight near a window, and keep the flash off so that it does not bounce off the plastic layer. If there is one word we cannot read for certain, you will hear about it before we begin rather than after. Guessing at a birth town is exactly how files get sent back.
How long do you keep my passport copy after the work is done?
We keep it for a short period only, so that a reprint is easy if your office asks for another set. After that it is deleted. If you would rather it went sooner, just tell us and it is removed the same day, and we write back to confirm that it has gone. Only two people ever open your file, both under a signed privacy promise, and it is never shared outside our office.
My old passport spells my name in another way. Does that ruin my file?
It does not, as long as you give us both passports. We put the current spelling on the English page, and add a short line under it saying that the older passport carried another form of the same name. That one line stops an officer from wondering whether two different people are in your file. Leaving the old passport at home is what creates the real problem later.
Mine expires in two months. Will the English pages still be valid?
They stay valid for the passport you sent us, because they copy that passport exactly. The moment a new one is issued the number changes, and most offices will then want the new page done. Send the new passport to us when it arrives and we will redo that single page at a top up rate, using the same spelling we already have on file for you.
My agent wants two hard copies. Can I get a spare set?
Yes, and asking now is much cheaper than asking later. Extra sealed sets are printed at the same time for a small charge each. Please order two if an agent, a school or a lawyer will be keeping one of them. A sealed set cannot be photocopied and still count as an official copy, so a spare will save you from paying for the whole job twice.
I have not moved to Singapore yet. Can you still take my order?
Yes, and a good part of our work starts weeks before the person ever gets on a plane. Send your photo from any country, pay online, and the signed pages will arrive by email. If a paper set is needed as well, we can hold it here for you to collect, pass it to whoever is filing on your behalf, or post it to your address.
