Requirements
What reviewers require for a certified passport translation
- Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS must be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, together with the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)).
- For consular processing through the National Visa Center, documents not written in English or in the official language of the country of application must carry a certified translation that includes a statement signed by the translator affirming the translation is accurate and the translator is competent to translate.
- In immigration court, the translator certification must be signed and printed legibly or typed, must state the translator is competent to translate the document, and must state the translation is accurate (8 CFR 1003.33).
- Every visible element of the translated pages is rendered: biographic data fields, issuing-authority text, observations and amendments, and handwritten entries; nothing is summarized or skipped.
- Seals, stamps, emblems, and signatures are identified in bracketed descriptions and any text inside them is translated, for example [round seal: Ministry of Internal Affairs].
- Personal names follow the Latin-alphabet spelling already printed in the passport, including the machine-readable zone, so the translation matches the spelling used across the rest of the filing.
- The machine-readable zone (the two lines of code at the bottom of the data page) is not translated as text; standard practice is to label it as machine-readable data.
Common reasons translations get rejected
- Translating only the biographic page when the officer or an RFE asked for the full passport, including visa and stamp pages, leaves the request unanswered and can trigger a follow-up RFE.
- Summary or extract translations do not meet the full-translation requirement; the regulation calls for a full English language translation.
- Name spellings that differ from the passport's own Latin transliteration or from other translated documents in the same filing raise identity-consistency questions with adjudicators.
- Non-Gregorian dates copied without a Gregorian equivalent create apparent date-of-birth mismatches against other filed documents.
- Untranslated stamps, handwritten amendments, or observations pages leave foreign-language content in the filing, which the regulation does not permit.
Good to know
About Italian-language passports
The Italian passport (passaporto ordinario) is a bordeaux-red biometric booklet; the State Department lists the Ministero Affari Esteri e Cooperazione Internazionale as issuing authority, with applications handled through the Questura in Italy and consulates abroad. Data page captions appear in Italian with English and French, but US filings that require translation of a passport still need the Italian-only elements, stamps, and any observation pages rendered in full.
In Italy, civil status records (birth, marriage, death) are kept by the Ufficio di Stato Civile of each comune (municipality), and certificates are signed by the ufficiale dello stato civile. There is no single national vital records office; the record lives in the comune where the event was registered.
Italian civil status documents come in tiers: the certificato (a short certificate of the fact), the estratto per riassunto dell'atto (a summary extract that adds details such as parents' names and marginal annotations), and the copia integrale (a full photostatic copy of the register act). The tier matters because US filings often need the annotations that only the estratto or copia integrale carry.

Questions
Common questions
- Will the name on the translation match my other documents?
- The qualified professional translator follows the Latin spelling already printed in your passport, including the machine-readable zone, which keeps the spelling consistent with the rest of your filing.
- How are entry and exit stamps handled?
- Each stamp is described in brackets (shape, issuing authority) and its visible text is translated. Faded stamps are marked illegible rather than guessed, which keeps the signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy truthful.
- My passport uses a different calendar. How are the dates translated?
- Standard professional practice is to render the date as written and note the Gregorian equivalent so a US officer can read it without ambiguity.
- Can I translate my own passport for USCIS?
- The regulation does not name who may translate, but adjudicators can discount a certification signed by the applicant, and consular posts often set stricter rules. An independent qualified professional translator avoids that risk; every Eagle Translate order is delivered with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy and a QR verification page.
- My passport was issued in Italy. What should I know before ordering?
- The Italian passport (passaporto ordinario) is a bordeaux-red biometric booklet; the State Department lists the Ministero Affari Esteri e Cooperazione Internazionale as issuing authority, with applications handled through the Questura in Italy and consulates abroad. Data page captions appear in Italian with English and French, but US filings that require translation of a passport still need the Italian-only elements, stamps, and any observation pages rendered in full.
