The diploma supplement and the 10-point scale
Latvian universities have issued a diploma supplement (diploma pielikums) with every higher-education diploma since 2004, and it serves as the final transcript; universities also print academic records on request. Courses are graded on a 10-point scale: 10 izcili (with distinction), 9 teicami (excellent), 8 ļoti labi (very good), 7 labi (good), 6 gandrīz labi (almost good), 5 viduvēji (satisfactory) and 4 gandrīz viduvēji (almost satisfactory), the pass mark.
Grades 3 to 1 are fails, and in some regulated programmes such as medicine a 4 may also count as a fail. We keep the number and its Latvian word together and do not convert either to a US GPA; that is an evaluator's job. See credential evaluation translations.
Credit points before and after 2022
Latvian credit points (kredītpunkti) changed meaning. Until the Law on Higher Education Institutions was amended on 11 October 2022, one Latvian credit was a week of full-time study and equalled 1.5 ECTS, so a year was 40 credits. Since then a year of full-time study is 60 credit points, matching ECTS. A transcript from 2015 and one from 2024 can therefore show very different totals for the same workload.
We translate credits exactly as printed, with any ECTS column, and add a note on which system applied if you ask. Course titles are translated rather than transliterated, and the Latvian title can be kept beside the English one for an evaluator who wants to check it against the university's own course catalogue. See the Latvian university diploma page and our Latvian 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
Will you convert my grades to a US GPA?
No. We translate grades as printed; a credential evaluator converts them.
My bachelor's shows 160 credits, my friend's newer one 240.
Latvian credit points were redefined in October 2022. We translate the numbers as printed and can note the difference.
Is a 4 a passing grade?
Usually yes, it is the pass mark. Some regulated programmes treat it as a fail. We translate it as printed.
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.
