Getting records from a Hong Kong hospital
Patients of Hospital Authority hospitals obtain copies of their medical records through a data access request under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, using the hospital's own form; several hospitals keep a separate form for medical records and another for other personal data. The hospital must comply within 40 days, and a processing fee applies. A medical report that has not already been written is not covered by a data access request and must be applied for separately from the hospital.
Private clinics and hospitals set their own procedures. Whatever the source, a file can contain discharge summaries, laboratory results, imaging reports, prescriptions and doctors' letters, each with its own date and signature. We translate each document in full and keep test values, units and reference ranges exactly as printed. Handwritten notes are translated where they are legible and marked as illegible where they are not.
Medical terms and mixed-language records
Medical terms, drug names and abbreviations already written in English or Latin are kept as they are, and Chinese text is translated term for term, without paraphrase or interpretation. If a record is entirely in English, a US doctor or USCIS needs no translation of it; any Chinese text, including a Chinese name, a diagnosis or the hospital chop, means a full translation. We do not summarise records or omit pages.
The doctor's Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death (Form 18) is covered on the Hong Kong death certificate page, and disability registration on the disability certificate page. A report written by a doctor as an expert for a court case is covered on the expert report page. Scans or photos of the records are enough. Patient names follow passport spelling. See our Chinese page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
The hospital gave me copies after a data access request.
That is the normal route at Hospital Authority hospitals. We translate every page you received.
I need a medical report, not copies.
A new report is a separate application to the hospital. Once you have it, we translate it in full.
My records are mostly in English.
We keep the English as printed and translate any Chinese text, so the whole record reads in English.
