        What it proves

        Travel Records Certification is a BI document showing travel information recorded for an individual. It may be requested for immigration applications, citizenship matters, legal proceedings, tax or residence analysis, or a correction of an official record.

        What it is NOT

        It is different from a passport stamp and does not replace the passport or visa record.

        Applying

        The BI process includes: completing the form, attaching supporting documents, waiting for an Order of Payment Slip, paying the fee, submitting the application with the original receipt, and returning with the claim stub to receive the certification.

        Before applying

        Ask the receiving institution how far back the travel history must go and whether it needs a certified copy, apostille or translation.

        Distinction: verified information is based on official sources; community experience reflects what expats lived through. Both are valuable, but different in nature.

        Frequently asked questions

        Quick answers to the most common questions about this process.

        No — it is an official BI document of recorded travel information. It does not replace the passport or visa record.

        Ask the receiving institution — some want a full history, others a specific period, and it may need apostille or translation.
