The six-point scale and the diploma supplement
Since the 1999/2000 academic year every Estonian higher education institution has used the same six-point grading scale: A or 5 (suurepärane, excellent, 91 to 100 percent), B or 4 (väga hea), C or 3 (hea), D or 2 (rahuldav), E or 1 (kasin, sufficient, 51 to 60 percent) and F or 0 (puudulik, fail). Some institutions print letters, others numbers. Courses assessed pass or fail show arvestatud or mitte arvestatud.
The final record of courses is usually the diploma supplement (akadeemiline õiend), issued with the diploma; the University of Tartu, for example, issues it in Estonian and in English. If you have the English version, ask the receiving office whether it needs the Estonian one translated as well. If you have both a supplement and a separate transcript, we translate whichever the receiving office asks for. See the Estonian university diploma page.
Credits, older transcripts and GPA
Since 1 September 2009 Estonia has used ECTS credits as its national credit system, 60 per academic year. Before that, transcripts could show the older Estonian credit point (ainepunkt, AP), worth 40 hours of study, with 40 credits a year. Transcripts from before 1999/2000 may use a five-point scale on which 2 and 1 are fails. We translate the credit unit and the scale exactly as printed, so nobody mistakes one for another.
We do not convert Estonian grades to a US GPA; that is an evaluator's job. Study in Estonia itself warns that Estonian grades do not transfer directly to the ECTS grading scale despite the similar letters, so a letter on an Estonian transcript should not be read as a US letter grade. An evaluator looks at the scale, the percentage bands and the credits together. See credential evaluation translations and WES translations, and our Estonian 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 C on my transcript a weak grade?
On the Estonian scale C (3) means good. We translate the grade and its Estonian label as printed.
My transcript shows AP, not ECTS.
AP is the old Estonian credit point, used before ECTS became the national system in 2009. We keep it as printed.
Will you convert my grades to a GPA?
No. We translate them exactly; a credential evaluator converts them.
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.
