Is translation of passport stamps necessary?
I am applying for a visa to the UK, and the application requirement says that documents that are not in English or Welsh must be translated into English. The issuing authority of passport is indicated in my passport as a stamp, which is in Chinese, with no English translation. Since the visa application asks me to state the issuing authority of my passport, I wonder if I should have a translator translate the stamp, so that people in charge of reviewing my application will know this stamp indicates the issuing authority. Thanks!

Generally, you will need to translate passport stamps or passport visas that are in languages other than French and English. IRCC (formerly CIC) requires you to have both the entry stamps and the exit stamps translated by a Certified Translator.Does passport need to be translated?
Yes and no. The simple answer is yes: 95% of all passport applications require the supporting documentation or supporting evidence of identity, such as birth certificates from other countries not written in English, to be translated into English by a certified translator.MY PASSPORT AFTER 2.5 YEARS AROUND THE WORLD - ALL STAMPS AND VISAS
