A percentage is not a diagnosis
Most national systems express disability as a percentage or a grade assigned by a statutory assessment body — Spain assesses a degree from 33%, Germany assigns a Grad der Behinderung from 20 to 100, Argentina issues a Certificado Único de Discapacidad, India issues a certificate with a percentage and a UDID number.
Those numbers measure eligibility for national benefits under that country's own scale, and they do not translate into a US determination of any kind. We reproduce the figure with the scale it belongs to and the body that assigned it, and we do not convert or characterise it.
The assessing body matters as much as the finding
A certificate from a statutory medical board carries different weight from a private physician's report, and many countries issue both. The board certificate names its legal basis and its composition; the physician's report is clinical evidence supporting it.
We name the issuing body exactly and translate its legal citation rather than writing "medical authority". A reader assessing the document needs to know whether a state assessed this person or a doctor described them.
Validity and review dates
Most disability certificates are issued for a fixed term with a scheduled review, and some state the condition as permanent. A certificate past its review date is not evidence of current status, and that date is frequently in small print or on the reverse.
We translate both faces of the document and flag the validity field where it exists. It is the commonest reason a disability certificate is rejected, and it is entirely avoidable.
Where the translation is actually used
These documents reach US offices for disability accommodations in education, for exemptions and waivers in immigration procedures, for insurance and benefits claims, for airline and accessibility arrangements, and in support of humanitarian applications.
Each of those reads the certificate differently, and a clinical report translated for one may need more than the certificate for another. Tell us what it is for and we will say what else is usually asked for.
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 a page is up to 250 words.
A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at the same $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.
Frequently asked questions
Does a 45% disability certificate mean anything in the US?
No. It measures eligibility under that country's own scale. We reproduce the figure and the scale and do not convert it.
Do you translate the clinical report too?
If you send it. The board certificate and the physician's report do different jobs and offices frequently want both.
My certificate has a review date.
Then it evidences status until that date. We translate the validity field, which is the commonest reason these are rejected.
Is a certified translation enough?
For most US purposes yes. Some insurers additionally want the clinical report; ask them before ordering.
