Carta de curso, carta magistral, carta doutoral
Under Decree-Law 22/2012, universities in Cabo Verde award the Diploma de Estudos Superiores Profissionalizantes (DESP) and the degrees of licenciatura, mestrado and doutoramento; polytechnics award the DESP and the licenciatura. Each degree has its own document: a licenciatura is certified by a carta de curso, a master's by a carta magistral and a doctorate by a carta doutoral, each issued by the institution together with a diploma supplement (suplemento ao diploma).
The carta de curso and its certified copies must state the registration of the study programme and the reference of its publication in the Boletim Oficial, the official gazette. We translate that reference exactly, because an evaluator may use it to confirm the programme. The final classification of a licenciatura or mestrado is given between 10 and 20 on the 0 to 20 scale and is copied as printed.
Translating degree names
A licenciatura normally lasts six to eight semesters of full-time study. We translate it as a licentiate degree and keep Licenciatura beside it, rather than calling it a bachelor's or master's degree: deciding the US equivalent is the job of the evaluator. The DESP is a short professional higher-education diploma, and its full name and acronym are kept. Faculty, course and signatory titles are translated literally.
Many Cape Verdeans studied in Portugal or Brazil, and those degrees are different documents; see the Portuguese and Brazilian diploma pages. If a US body asks for an apostille, Cabo Verde's competent authorities are the registries directorate of the Ministry of Justice and the consular directorate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. See the academic 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
Is a licenciatura a bachelor's degree?
That is for the evaluator to decide. We translate it as a licentiate degree and keep the Portuguese term.
Should I send the diploma supplement?
Yes, if you have it. It describes the programme and grades, and evaluators find it useful.
My degree is from Portugal, not Cabo Verde.
Then it is a Portuguese document. We translate it the same way; see our Portuguese diploma page.
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.
