Certified Diploma Translation from $14.90 per Page

1. USCIS: Employment-based petitions such as H-1B, EB-2 and EB-3 often rely on a foreign degree. USCIS requires a certified English translation of any diploma that is not in English.
2. Credential evaluation services: Evaluators such as WES and ECE typically ask for a word-for-word English translation alongside the original-language documents, and requirements vary by country.
3. U.S. universities: Graduate admissions offices usually ask for your diploma and transcript in the original language, together with a complete English translation.
4. Licensing boards: State boards for nursing, engineering, teaching and other professions often require translated diplomas as part of the license application.
5. Employers: Some employers ask for a translated diploma to verify your education.

Translation is not evaluation: A certified translation renders your diploma in English exactly as issued, including the degree title as it appears in the original. It does not state the U.S. equivalent of your degree. That is the job of a credential evaluation, which Translations Certified also offers.

What USCIS Requires for a Diploma Translation

USCIS requires that any diploma in a foreign language be submitted with:

• A full English translation of the entire diploma, front and back, including the degree title, the institution name, seals, signatures, registration numbers and annotations.
• A signed certification stating that the translation is complete and accurate, and that it was prepared by a translator competent to translate from that language into English.

Every Translations Certified diploma translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy that meets both requirements.

Notarization: USCIS does not require notarized translations. Translations Certified includes notarization at no extra cost because some universities and licensing boards do ask for it.

Common Diploma Translation Problems That Cause Delays

• The back of the diploma left untranslated. Many diplomas carry registration notes, legalization stamps or official annotations on the back. They are part of the document and must be translated.
• A diploma submitted without its transcript. USCIS, universities and credential evaluators usually ask for both. Order them together so your name, the institution name and the degree title are translated consistently.
• Expecting the translation to show a U.S. equivalent. A certified translation keeps the degree title as issued. To show U.S. equivalency, you need a credential evaluation.
• An apostille attached but not translated. If your diploma has an apostille, it is part of the document and needs a translation too.
• Names that don’t match other documents. A translation must reflect the original exactly. If your name appears differently in your passport or application forms, add a note when you place your order.
