The scale, and which way it runs
Dutch grading runs 1 to 10, with 10 the best and 6 the pass — and the top marks are almost never given, so a 7 is a good result and an 8 is a strong one. A US reader converting a 7 to 70% misreads it badly.
We reproduce the marks exactly as recorded and translate the grading key printed on the document, which is the only thing that settles how they should be read.
What the file contains
Dutch institutions issue a diploma supplement carrying ECTS credits. Dutch surnames carry particles — van, de, van der — which are part of the legal name and are never dropped.
See our Dutch birth certificate page and our Dutch page.
Grades are reproduced, never converted
We translate the marks exactly as the institution recorded them and we do not convert them into a US grade point average. Converting is credential evaluation, a different service with a different liability, and the agencies that do it do not agree with one another — so a number invented by a translator would be both unauthorised and probably wrong.
This matters more than it sounds, because several scales run the opposite way to the US one or past its ceiling. A Philippine 1.00 is the best mark available and 5.00 is a fail. A German 1 is the best and 4 is the pass. A Korean grade point is commonly out of 4.5, not 4.0. Each of those is misread by default, which is why the grading key printed on the document is translated with the marks — it is the part that makes the rest legible.
Who has to send it, and to whom
Evaluators and universities frequently require the institution itself to send academic documents directly, in a sealed envelope or through a secure channel, and will not accept a copy the applicant hands over. WES in particular will not accept a translation made by the applicant. A translation we produce is what goes alongside those documents, not instead of them — and it does not change who has to send the originals.
So establish two things before ordering: whether your evaluator requires institution-sent documents, and whether it wants the translation sent with them or separately. Related: our diploma and transcript page, university admissions and course descriptions.
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 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
Will you convert my marks to a GPA?
No. That is credential evaluation, a different service, and the agencies that do it do not agree with one another. We translate the marks and the key exactly.
Do I need the diploma supplement or transcript as well?
Usually. The subject list and credits are what an evaluator works from; the diploma alone rarely is.
Do you translate my degree into a US one?
No. We translate its name and leave the equivalence to an evaluator.
