The Palestinian Authority passport
Palestinian passports are issued by the Passport unit of the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Interior. The cover reads "The Palestinian Authority" in Arabic and English at the top, with an eagle in the middle and the name repeated in Arabic beneath it. There are VIP passports with a red cover, regular passports with a black cover, and single-use regular passports, also black; the PA does not issue official or diplomatic passports. The US treats the PA as a competent passport-issuing authority, although it does not recognise it as a foreign government.
The Ministry issues both non-biometric and biometric passports. A relative of the first degree can obtain a non-biometric passport for the holder, but a biometric one requires the holder in person for fingerprints. Passports are issued at the Ministry's offices and at Palestinian embassies or consulates in Jordan, Turkey and Egypt, in up to a week. The validity dates are translated exactly as printed.
Which passports are accepted, and refugees' documents
The State Department considers only non-biometric PA passports issued after June 2007 in Ramallah, Hebron or Nablus as legitimate, and only biometric passports issued since 2023 in Ramallah or at the embassies in Jordan, Turkey and Egypt. Where the passport was issued therefore matters, and we translate the place of issue exactly. Palestinian refugees abroad may receive a single-use passport for a one-time trip for immigration purposes.
Passport translations are usually needed for the data page and any page with stamps or observations. Names are transliterated from Arabic, and the Latin spelling on the passport becomes the reference for all your other translations when you ask. See our Palestinian ID card page, our Israeli passport page and our Arabic page. A scan of the relevant pages is enough; we do not need the passport itself.
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.
