Passport, ID and Population Document Translation: Where and How to Get It Done?

Passport, ID card, and population register translation; one of the most frequently requested sworn translation types for procedures such as residence permit, work permit, opening a bank account, school registration, or marriage abroad. Since these documents are the basic official documents that identify a person, it is very natural for foreign institutions to request their sworn translation. Incorrect or incomplete translation can cause serious delays and even rejections in applications.

Passport translation may seem like a simple process at first glance, but it contains many nuances that need to be considered. All the information on the passport pages (name, surname, date and place of birth, nationality, passport number, validity dates, biometric information, and any special pages) must be translated completely and faithfully to the original. Omitting or incorrectly transferring any information can cause the document to be rejected. Therefore, passport translation should always be done by experienced sworn translators.

To have the sworn translation of your passport and ID documents done in Turkey, all you need to do is apply to a sworn translation office. You can also send a clear photo or scanned copy of your document via WhatsApp or e-mail without going to the office. The sworn translator translates the document into the target language; then signs and stamps it, and has it notarized. All these steps can be completed on the same day or within 1 business day at most offices.

When is Passport Translation Required?

• Application for residence/work/student permit abroad
• Opening a bank or financial account in a foreign country
• Registration and admission processes at universities abroad
• Marriage or population registration procedures in a foreign country
• Consulate document requests for visa-free travel
• Application to a foreign insurance company or law firm
• Institutional applications of foreigners in Turkey
• International project or tender applications

The most common language pairs for passport translation are: Turkish-English (applications for the USA, UK, Australia, Canada), Turkish-German (applications for Germany, Austria), Turkish-Arabic (Gulf countries), Turkish-Russian, and Turkish-French. 42 Dil Translation Office has sworn translator capacity in all these language pairs.

Things to Consider in ID Document Translation

The information on Turkish ID cards (TC ID card) is more limited compared to passports; however, critical information such as name, surname, TC ID number, place and date of birth, and validity date must still be transferred completely. Especially for names containing Turkish characters (ç, ş, ğ, ü, ö, ı, etc.), the correct transliteration should be used in the target language, and this transliteration should be applied consistently. Otherwise, the same person's names may appear different on different documents, and this can cause serious bureaucratic problems.

There are differences between old Turkish population registers (green or blue passport-sized) and new generation ID cards. Since translation requests are frequently received for both types of documents, our translators at 42 Dil Translation Office have the necessary experience to translate both formats completely. You can send us your document regardless of its type; we will provide you with the appropriate solution.

Population Register Sample and Family Register Translation

Population register sample (official document obtained from the population directorate) and family register are frequently translated by people who want to get married or prove their marital status abroad. Since these documents cover birth, marriage, divorce, and death records, their content is both comprehensive and extremely important in official terms. The sworn translator must transfer this information correctly and completely; any error in dates or names can cause the document to be rejected abroad.

42 Dil Translation Office delivers population register samples and family registers with sworn translation and notarization within an average of 1 business day. You can send us your document via WhatsApp as a photo; a clear and legible photo is sufficient. You do not need to bring the original document to the office; however, the original must be present during the notarization phase.
