English ↔ Spanish — Certified Document Translation
Word-for-word certified translations of passports and travel identity documents for visa applications, immigration filings, and identity verification purposes. Every translation includes a signed certification statement from a University of Malta-qualified translator.
Translation Package
A certified passport translation is a precise, field-by-field rendering of the original document, accompanied by a signed attestation of accuracy.
We translate every relevant field — surname and given names, nationality, date and place of birth, passport number, date of issue, date of expiry, issuing authority, and any additional entries or endorsements. Biographical data pages and, where relevant, visa pages are translated as specified by the client.
Our translations are prepared to meet the requirements of immigration authorities and consulates. Acceptance is at the discretion of each receiving body.
Santiago Pedraza, University of Malta, works exclusively between English and Spanish.
Important: for security reasons, we translate the information you provide us; we never retain copies of identity documents beyond the period needed to complete your translation.
Common Use Cases
Consulates and immigration authorities may require certified translations of foreign-language passports — including biographical data pages — when processing visa or residency applications. Requirements vary by country and application type.
Government agencies and administrative bodies may require a certified passport translation to verify an applicant's identity when the original document is in a language they cannot process.
Financial institutions and notaries may require a certified translation of a foreign passport as part of due-diligence or identity-verification procedures.
Submitting Your Document
A clear scan or high-quality photograph (PDF, JPEG, PNG) of the biographical data page — the main page with your photograph and personal details.
If you also need visa or endorsement pages translated, include those separately. Ensure the document number, dates, and all text are fully legible.
We handle identity documents with strict confidentiality and do not retain copies beyond the translation process.

Birth certificate translation →Common Questions
In most cases, the biographical data page — the page containing your photograph, name, date of birth, nationality, passport number, and dates of issue and expiry — is the page that needs to be translated. Some applications also require translations of visa pages. Check the specific requirements of the authority you are submitting to.
We understand that identity documents are sensitive. We use your document only to complete the translation and do not retain copies beyond the period necessary to do so. If you have specific confidentiality concerns, please contact us to discuss how we handle your document.
We translate the human-readable information fields as they appear on the document. If you specifically require the machine-readable zone to be reproduced, please mention this when you send us your document so we can include it in the translation.
