Grades out of 20
Cape Verdean grades are given out of 20. For higher education, Decree-Law 22/2012 defines the scale used by Cape Verdean institutions as a whole-number scale from 0 to 20, and the final classification of a licenciatura or mestrado falls between 10 and 20 as a weighted average of the course units. Institutions may also express workload in credits, with 60 credits for a full-time year. A university transcript therefore lists each course unit with its mark out of 20, often with credits, hours or semester, and a final average.
We keep every number as printed. A 14 stays a 14 out of 20; we do not convert it to a letter grade or a GPA, because that is the job of the credential evaluator or university that receives it. Course names are translated so the subject is clear, and words such as approved or failed are translated literally. See the university diploma page and our course description page.
School certificates for years 9 to 12
Secondary school records use the same 0 to 20 scale in every subject, with 10 needed to pass. National exams are scored from 0 to 200 points and converted to the 0 to 20 scale, rounded to whole numbers, and the final mark is the rounded simple average of the final marks in every subject of the plan. The certificate issued at the end lists each subject with its final mark and the national exam marks, and a school can issue a statement of the subjects completed at any time.
The State Department notes that Cape Verdean schools and universities issue transcripts and that questionable ones are verified through the school's director or administration. A university transcript keeps the institution's own course codes, and a school certificate keeps the subject names as printed; each mark stays with its subject and year so the record can be checked line by line. Universities also issue a diploma supplement with the degree. See the high school diploma page, our diploma and transcript page and our Portuguese page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Should you convert my grades to a US GPA?
No. We translate the marks out of 20 exactly; the evaluator or university does any conversion.
My transcript lists national exam marks separately.
They are part of the record. We translate both the internal marks and the exam marks.
Do you need the diploma too?
Many universities and evaluators ask for both. We can translate the transcript, the diploma and the supplement together.
Is acceptance by universities, colleges and schools guaranteed?
Yes. Our certified translations are guaranteed to be accepted by universities, colleges and schools in the United States — and by USCIS, the NVC, courts, government agencies and employers — or your money back. The guarantee covers the translation itself, not the original document or the admission decision, and it covers credential evaluation agencies such as WES and ECE as well. Full terms are in our refund policy.
