Certified Chinese passport translation services

When submitting a Chinese passport to the Home Office, UKVI, British embassies, or international authorities, accuracy and compliance are essential. Even a minor spelling error or formatting issue can cause delays, rejections, or additional questions during immigration or visa processing. That is why our Chinese passport translation service follows strict quality-control procedures and formal certification standards.

Our specialist Chinese translators are experienced with both Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese passport formats, as well as Hong Kong and Macao documents. They understand how to transliterate Chinese names correctly, maintain consistency with other documents such as birth or marriage certificates, and handle complex place names and administrative regions. This reduces the risk of mismatches across your file, which is a common issue in immigration and legal cases.

Each Chinese passport translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy on our official letterhead, clearly stating the source and target language, translator credentials, and a declaration that the translation is complete and accurate. This format is widely accepted by British authorities and international institutions. If needed, we can also provide notarised translations for courts, consulates or high-level legal procedures abroad.

Our global network means you can also request translations from Chinese into other languages, or from English into Chinese. Whether you are moving from the UK to China, relocating from China to another country, or dealing with multi-country applications, our team ensures your identity documentation is ready for use in different jurisdictions around the world.

For UK immigration and visa processes, you will typically be asked to submit a certified English translation of any non-English passport. Our certified Chinese passport translations are designed to meet the expectations of the Home Office, UK Visas and Immigration, and other British authorities. We format translations to clearly mirror the structure of the original passport, making it easy for caseworkers to verify details.

Every translation is produced by professional linguists and checked through a multi-step review process. Once verified, it is accompanied by a signed certificate of translation, including our company details and contact information, so authorities can confirm authenticity if required. Kings of Translation is a recognised global translation agency, and our certified translations are accepted worldwide for immigration, legal, academic and business procedures.

Pricing is transparent: certified Chinese passport translation starts from £29.90 per page, with standard document translation from £0.05 per word for larger projects. There are no hidden fees; you will receive a clear quote before we begin. For urgent cases, we offer express options, often delivering within 24 hours while maintaining full compliance with UK certification requirements.

Many clients translate their Chinese passport together with other identity documents, such as residence permits, police clearance certificates or academic records. You can easily combine services by adding documents to your order or requesting a tailored quote. If you also need identity documents for Schengen visas or other international travel, our certified translation services can cover your full file in one coordinated process.

You can order your Chinese passport translation completely online, without posting original documents. Simply upload a clear, legible scan or photo of your passport via our secure platform. Our team will review the file, confirm the price and delivery time, and start work as soon as you approve the quote. This streamlined approach is ideal if you are already abroad or working to tight immigration or travel deadlines.

Kings of Translation follows strict data protection and confidentiality standards. Identity documents are processed through encrypted systems, and access is limited to authorised project managers and translators. Files are stored securely and retained only as long as necessary for quality assurance and potential re-issues, giving you peace of mind that your personal information is handled responsibly.

Typical turnaround for a Chinese passport translation is 24–48 hours, depending on complexity and whether additional certification such as notarisation is required. If you face an imminent deadline with the Home Office, an embassy appointment, or a visa application centre, let us know and we will prioritise your project wherever possible. Our 98% customer return rate reflects how often clients rely on us again for further translations when moving between countries.

If you need translations for additional travel documents, such as visas, residence cards or supporting evidence, our dedicated passport translation services can be combined with other identity translation work in one order. This helps ensure consistency of spellings and details across all your documents, a key factor in smooth cross-border administration.

Chinese names, addresses and official terms can be complex to render accurately in English. Our translators are native-level Mandarin or Cantonese speakers with professional experience in legal and official document translation. They follow established transliteration standards, take into account your preferred spelling where relevant, and align with other documents such as birth certificates or residence permits to keep details consistent.

We work with both simplified and traditional Chinese, ensuring that characters are correctly interpreted and transcribed. Project managers oversee each file, checking that passport numbers, dates, issuing authorities and expiry dates are accurately transferred. This attention to detail reduces the risk of avoidable questions from British or overseas authorities that may slow down your visa or immigration application.

Where a case involves multiple jurisdictions—for example, moving from China to the UK and later on to another European country—our global acceptance focus means we can prepare translations with an international perspective. This includes adapting formats and certification styles for use in other legal systems, while still meeting strict UK standards.

Beyond passports, you may later require certified translations of other official records linked to your identity. Our team can assist with additional documents needed for immigration, including right-to-work checks or identity verification. For identity-focused cases, combining Chinese passport translations with wider certified translation services ensures your entire documentation set is professionally prepared.
