What Makes Chinese (Traditional) Document Translation Different
Chinese (Traditional) document translation has its own considerations, so here's how we handle it:
- Traditional Chinese, not Simplified
- Traditional Chinese is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, while mainland China and Singapore use Simplified Chinese; if your document is in Simplified Chinese, let us know and we'll route it to the right translator.
- Documents from Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macau — different systems
- Taiwan issues a household registration transcript (戶籍謄本), Hong Kong issues civil documents through its Immigration Department, and Macau has its own civil registry; tell us which jurisdiction your document is from and we translate it as that jurisdiction's actual document type.
- Name romanization varies by jurisdiction
- Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau use different romanization conventions for names, commonly Hanyu or Tongyong Pinyin in Taiwan and Cantonese-based romanization in Hong Kong; we keep your spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings.
- Sending a document to Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macau instead?
- if your document needs to go to a government office there, the requirement for official use is different, distinct from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office.
What that means for your document
Traditional Chinese documents come from three different jurisdictions, and romanization conventions vary between them.

The translation matched our birth certificate exactly, and it was accepted by USCIS on the first try. Turnaround was faster than I expected.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions.
The questions people ask before ordering a Chinese (Traditional) translation.
How long does a certified Chinese translation take?
Most are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available when a deadline is close.
Will USCIS accept my certified Traditional Chinese translation?
Yes. We provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy with every translation, the standard format USCIS and most U.S. agencies require for Traditional Chinese-language documents.
Is this the right page if my document is in Simplified Chinese?
Traditional Chinese is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau; Simplified Chinese is used in mainland China and Singapore. Let us know which script your document is in when you upload, and we'll assign a translator experienced with that script.
My document is from Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macau — does it matter which?
Yes. Each has its own issuing authorities and document formats. Tell us which jurisdiction your document is from so we translate it accurately.
What documents make up an academic record from Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macau?
This varies by jurisdiction, but typically includes a diploma or graduation certificate, a degree certificate for university graduates, and an official transcript. We translate the complete set your case requires, in the format your school actually used.
Do you handle Cantonese or Taiwan-style name romanization?
Yes. Taiwan commonly uses Hanyu or Tongyong Pinyin, while Hong Kong typically uses Cantonese-based romanization. We keep your name spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings, whichever convention that follows.
What documents do you most commonly translate from Traditional Chinese?
Birth certificates and household registration records, marriage certificates, and academic records are the most common, but we translate any personal, legal, or business document from Traditional Chinese.
My document needs to go to Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macau, not a U.S. agency. Is this the right page?
If your document is headed to a government office in Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macau, the requirement for official use there is different, a distinct process from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office whether this applies to your case.
