We translate academic transcripts, diplomas, degree certificates, grade reports, official letters from universities, and school records. Our translators are familiar with the requirements of major credential evaluation organizations in North America, Europe, and Australia, and format translations accordingly. Admissions interviews at a university in the US or in Europe can be supported by our interpretation services.

Upload Your Records
Submit scanned copies of your transcripts, diplomas, and any supporting academic letters through our secure portal.
Translator Assignment
Your documents are assigned to a translator with experience in academic translation and familiarity with the source country's educational system and grading conventions.
Formatted Translation
The translation preserves the original layout, including grade tables, subject codes, and academic year references. All terminology follows the conventions used by credential evaluation bodies.

Transcript Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a certified and a notarized transcript translation?
A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translation agency confirming the accuracy and completeness of the translation. A notarized translation goes one step further: a notary public witnesses and authenticates the translator's signature on the certificate. Most universities and credential evaluation bodies accept certified translations. Some government agencies and legal proceedings may require notarization. We provide both options.
Do WES and other credential bodies accept your translations?
WES, ICES, and IQAS set their own translation rules; each body decides what it accepts. We translate all grades, subject names, and credit hours, present them clearly, and add a signed Certificate of Accuracy. Check the specific requirements of your credential evaluation body before submitting.
How long does transcript translation take?
A single-page transcript is typically completed quickly. Multi-page transcripts covering multiple academic years take 1 to 2 business days. Faster delivery can be arranged case by case for urgent applications. If you have a submission deadline, mention it when you request a quote and we will confirm whether the timeline is achievable.
