The DIA Translation Service can translate your documents for you.

The Translation Service – Te Pūtahi Whakawhiti Reo

You may also get your documents translated by:

• the government agency that issued the original document
• an approved translator, or
• a court in the country that issued the document.

You must send us your original documents as well as the English translations.

If your translations are not acceptable, the Passport Office will contact you.
