Certified Document Translation for U.S. Passport Applications
Applying for a U.S. passport involves submitting accurate and complete documentation to the U.S. Department of State. For individuals whose supporting documents are in a language other than English, certified translation is a critical requirement. At ANZ Translation USA, we specialize in providing fast, accurate, and government-accepted translations to support your U.S. passport application.
When Do You Need a Translation for a U.S. Passport?
The U.S. Department of State requires all supporting documents submitted with a passport application to be in English. If any documents are in another language, you must provide a certified English translation. Common documents requiring translation include:
Foreign birth certificates
Foreign marriage or divorce certificates
Adoption documents
Name change documents
Death certificates (for parental or spousal proof)
Without proper translation, your passport application may be delayed or even rejected.
What Is a Certified Translation?
A certified translation includes:
A full, word-for-word translation of the original document
A signed statement (certificate of accuracy) from the translator or translation agency confirming that the translation is accurate and complete
The translator’s contact information and qualifications
At ANZ Translation USA, our certified translations are fully compliant with U.S. Department of State standards and accepted for all official and legal purposes, including passport applications.

Other translators in my area are unreliable and will not even answer the phone. With Speakt I was able to get the job done easily.John Deo CEO TransPro
