Issued by the Bureau of Consular Affairs
Taiwan passports are issued by the Bureau of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and abroad by Taiwan's missions, which in the US means TECRO and its offices. A regular passport is valid for ten years. The cover is dark green with a sun emblem, and two versions are in use: in one, REPUBLIC OF CHINA appears in English under the Chinese title; in the other, the English words circle the emblem. Both are valid.
For US immigration, the State Department treats a Taiwan passport as a passport only if its data page shows a national identification number. A passport without one belongs to a national without household registration, who has no unrestricted right to enter or live in Taiwan, and such holders are treated as stateless for visa purposes. The data page is partly in English; what usually needs translating is the Chinese text, endorsements and stamps.
Four romanisation systems
Names on Taiwan passports have been romanised in several systems. The Bureau of Consular Affairs describes four: Wade-Giles, Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II, Tongyong Pinyin and Hanyu Pinyin, so the surname 張 can be Chang in one passport and Zhang in another. That is why relatives can spell the same surname differently. The passport spelling is the reference for every other translation in your file, and we use it consistently.
USCIS asks for a complete translation of any foreign-language page you submit, so translate each page with Chinese text on it. See the general passport translation page, the Taiwanese national ID card page and our Chinese page. If your file includes a household transcript, its names are spelled to match the passport. Entry and exit stamps from other countries are translated wherever they are 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.
