Passport Translation for USCIS Applications
If you are submitting documents to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), you may need a certified English translation of your passport if it contains information in Japanese or another foreign language.
USCIS requires that all foreign-language documents be accompanied by a complete English translation and a certification from the translator confirming that the translation is accurate and complete.
Does USCIS Require Passport Translation?
In some immigration cases, applicants may be asked to provide translated passport pages that contain important personal information.
Commonly translated passport information includes:
- Name
- Date of Birth
- Place of Birth
- Nationality
- Passport Number
- Issue Date
- Expiration Date
Requirements may vary depending on the immigration application and supporting documents being submitted.
USCIS Translation Requirements
USCIS generally requires:
- A complete English translation
- A certification statement
- A competent translator
Translations should accurately reflect all information appearing on the original document.
Can I Translate My Own Passport?
Although USCIS regulations do not explicitly prohibit self-translation in every circumstance, many applicants choose a professional translation service to avoid delays or requests for additional evidence.
A professionally prepared translation provides additional confidence that the document meets USCIS requirements.
