ID Card Translation
Front and back of the resident ID card translated in one pass, with name pinyin, address, issuing authority and the 18-digit citizen identity number checked item by item. The translation carries our officially registered translation stamp and a translator’s declaration, and is accepted for visas, foreign-related notarisation, overseas bank accounts and university verification. Delivered worldwide with same-day rush available.
ID documents we translate and stamp
From the resident ID card itself to the certificates issued when your name, address or identity number changes — mature templates keep the layout faithful to the original and the terminology consistent across every page.
Tailored to the receiving body
An ID card translation is rarely submitted on its own — it usually forms part of an identity chain alongside the passport and household register. Tell us the purpose and we prepare the format and attachments the receiving body expects.
Visa and entry applications
Some visa checklists ask for proof of identity; the ID card translation complements the passport and household register, and the information must corroborate across all three.
Notarisation and authentication
Birth, marriage and police-clearance notarisations often attach the ID card as supporting material; the translation must correspond to the notarial matter and certificate number.
Overseas accounts and verification
Foreign banks, brokers and payment institutions use it to verify identity at account opening; some require the translation to carry a declaration and the agency’s credentials.
Universities and employers
Registration at overseas universities, scholarship applications and employer background checks normally require a stamped translation rather than a self-made one.
Four details that decide whether an ID card translation is accepted
An ID card is short but information-dense: one wrong digit or address can send the whole file back. We translate against the original line by line and confirm anything unclear with you first.
- Name pinyin follows the passport or official spelling; polyphonic characters confirmed one by one, never auto-converted
- Address translated level by level — province, city, district, street, number — with nothing omitted, merged or rewritten
- The 18-digit identity number and date of birth checked digit by digit; the issuing authority rendered to its official name
- Officially registered translation stamp plus translator’s declaration, so the translation traces back to translator and reviewer

Translation & review
The translator works from the original and a second person checks the name, identity number and dates before the draft comes to you for verification.
