A trilingual data page

Spanish passports are issued in Spain by the Dirección General de la Policía and abroad by Spanish embassies and consulates. The ordinary passport has 32 numbered pages and a chip holding the photo and fingerprints. The data page labels its fields in Spanish, English and French, and shows the passport number, the holder's DNI number as the personal number, the issuing office, names, nationality, date and place of birth, sex, and the issue and expiry dates.

So the data page itself rarely needs translating. What does is the rest: the observations page, which the authorities reserve for remarks in Spanish, and any stamps or endorsements. A passport is valid for two years if issued under age 5, five years under age 30 and ten years from 30. USCIS asks for a complete translation of any foreign-language page you submit; see the general passport translation page.

The passport spelling is the reference

The passport prints both surnames with their accents and the letter ñ, while the two machine-readable lines at the bottom use plain capitals only. US systems often copy the machine-readable form or drop the second surname. When your certificates and diplomas are translated, we use the passport spelling throughout and keep both surnames, so that the whole file matches. We copy the machine-readable lines unchanged.

A minor living abroad without a DNI has a passport personal number taken from the consular registration or from a parent's DNI with a suffix; we copy it exactly. See the Spanish identity card (DNI) page and the Spanish birth certificate page. See also our Spanish page. If your passport carries visas or entry stamps from other countries, we translate every one that is not in English.

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

My passport data page is already partly in English.

The labels are, and that page usually needs no translation. Remarks and stamps in Spanish on other pages do.

US forms drop my second surname.

We keep both surnames as in your passport so all translations match.

What is the personal number on my passport?

Normally your DNI number. We copy it exactly.
