Where Your Certified Identity Card Translation Gets Handed In

One page in the wrong language and your date moves. Sometimes by months. That worry is real, and it is why most people find us. Below are the desks that read your card once it is in English. Each one wants a different level, so we build yours to fit that counter.

ICA

For PR, citizenship, long term pass and student pass files. Your card is read next to your passport, so both must match.

Ministry Of Manpower

For Work Permit, S Pass and Employment Pass files. Hiring agencies also send us worker cards in batches when new staff land.

Registry Of Marriages

For a wedding with a partner from another country. The registry wants your card in English before it holds your date.

Traffic Police

For swapping a foreign licence when you will stay a year or more. Your card shows who you are beside that licence.

Notary Public And SAL

Your signed English page picks up its seal here. The Academy of Law then checks the notary is real before a counter looks.

Banks, Courts And Schools

For opening an account, a bank check, a probate file or a school place. These desks set their own rules, so we ask yours first.

Chinese, Malay, Burmese And 200+ Identity Card Languages Covered

Your card may be in Chinese, Malay, Burmese or Thai. That is fine. A real person who reads that script every week works on it, never a free app that guesses at a seal it cannot even see. Pick your language below and we will take it from there.

Holding cards from two countries? Send both together. Every office spells a name its own way. One reader on all of it is what keeps your name the same on every page you hand over.

NRIC Translation Singapore People Send To Offices Abroad

Leaving is the other half of this job. A desk abroad cannot read your pink or blue card, and it will not guess. We put it into the language that office speaks. The same team runs all our certified translation services in Singapore. Apostille identity card translation is added when a seal is wanted.

Work And Visa Files

Sent to China, the Gulf, Japan and Korea when a new boss or an embassy asks who you are.

School And Study Places

Given to schools and colleges in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe for student files.

Bank And Property Files

Used by banks and land offices in Malaysia, Indonesia, China and Taiwan to open accounts or sign deeds.

Wedding And Family Papers

Filed with registries and courts in Europe, the Gulf and Southeast Asia for weddings and family estate cases.

Four Small Steps And We Translate Your Identity Card

Most people put this off. They picture a long queue and half a day gone. There is none of that here. The whole thing runs on your phone from the sofa, and step one takes two minutes. Date coming up fast? Ask for same day identity card translation at step two.

1

Take two photos

Lay the card flat in daylight. Snap the front, snap the back, and add your passport page.

2

Tell us the office

Say where it is going and when it is due. A fixed price comes back within the hour.

3

Say yes to start

Nothing begins until you agree the price. Your card then goes to a trained human, never a machine.

4

Get your pages

A second reader checks every number. Pages reach you by email, with the seal added when it is needed.

Small Things We Do In Every Identity Document Translation

You are handing a stranger your photo, your number and your home address. It should feel hard. So here is exactly what happens after you press send, in plain words. These small habits are why law firms keep coming back to the same identity card translator Singapore families use.

Both Sides Read, Nothing Skipped

Every seal, mark and tiny line is carried over. A missing stamp is the top reason files bounce back.

Name Matched To Your Passport

Tan or Chen. Goh or Wu. We check your card spelling against your passport before we sign anything.

Seal Step Done For You

We book it, we queue at the counter, and we chase it. You never have to walk down there.

No Extra Steps Pushed On You

When your desk does not want a seal, we say so and charge you less. Guessing upward only takes money.

Your Number Stays Private

Two people open your file and nobody else. Both signed a privacy promise, and we hand you that in writing.

Free Redo If Pages Come Back

If any counter returns our work over how it was done, we fix it free. Twenty years back that.

Burmese cards need a reader who knows the old township codes. A free app cannot even see them. Tap the two buttons below. One shows the pink card handed out at a Myanmar office. The other shows the English page a Singapore counter finally reads.

Honest Feedback After Every Identity Card Translation Job Here

Nobody writes about paperwork unless something went right. These came in after cards were accepted, from families, from workers and from firms who send us batches. Speed near a deadline comes up a lot. So does being told what they did not need. And a private number staying private.

More Documents We Handle Beside Our ID Card Translation

One card is never the whole job. A passport, a birth paper, a licence, all wanted by the same desk in the same week. Chase them one at a time and you pay four times over. Here is the rest of what people send us along with their card.

One Order For Every Card And Paper

Put your passport, birth paper and licence into the same order as your card. One team then reads all of it, and you get back a single price and a single delivery day.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

A card with two languages on it. A number that does not match a passport. A chip nobody can see inside. These are the things people say quietly on the phone, waiting for bad news. It is almost never bad news. The ones we hear most sit right below.

My card already has some English on it. Do I still need this done?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. A card can show English on the front and still hold local script in the address, the place of birth, or the small notes on the back. Send us a photo and we will tell you straight, even when the answer is that you do not need us at all.

Do you need my real card, or is a photo enough?

A clear photo starts the work the same day, so send that first. Lay the card flat, use daylight, and take the front and the back as two shots. If your desk wants a seal, we may need the card itself later, and we tell you early so nothing waits on a courier.

My card ran out of date last year. Can you still work on it?

Yes. We put across what is printed, and an old date is part of what is printed. Whether an out of date card is enough is a call for the office you are visiting, not for us. Tell us which counter it is going to and we will warn you before you spend a cent.

My card number and my passport number are not the same. Which one goes on the English page?

Both, just as each paper shows them. We never mix two numbers or quietly drop one. A short note goes on the page saying both belong to the same person. That one line is what stops a clerk from opening two files for you.

The address on my card is old and I moved years ago. Is that a problem?

It happens a lot and it is not your fault. We copy the address as printed, because changing it would make the page false. If the desk needs where you live now, that comes from a different paper, not this one. Your agent or lawyer will know which one they want.

Can I get two or three copies of the same signed page?

Yes, and it is much cheaper to ask now than later. People often need one set for an office and one for a bank in the same week. Extra signed copies cost a small amount each when ordered together. Coming back a month later means the seal step starts again from zero.

My old card was replaced and the new one has a different number. Do both need doing?

Only when a desk asks to see your past. Most people just need the card in their wallet today. If your file has to show a run of years lived in another country, the old card helps a lot, and we would rather say that now than after you have paid for one.

Is my card number safe with you?

Two people open your file and nobody else sees it. Both have signed a written privacy promise, and we hand you a copy of it. When your job is closed you can ask us to wipe the file, and we write back to confirm it is gone.

My wife and I both need ours. Should we send one order or two?

One order, always. The same reader then handles both cards, so a shared family name is spelt one way on every page. Two separate orders can come back with two spellings, and a clerk who spots that will ask questions nobody wants at a counter.

The chip holds more than the front of the card shows. Does that go in?

We work from what a human eye can see, front and back. A chip is machine data and no notary can stand behind it. If an office wants what sits inside the chip, they will ask you for a printout from the issuing bureau, and we can put that page into English too.
