Certified Latvian Language Certificate Translation

eVerbary translates your Latvian language certificate into English for $24.95 per page with no word cap, by a professional human translator, with a signed certification. Most orders are delivered within a few hours. Accepted by USCIS and by US universities, colleges and schools, or your money back.

The state language proficiency certificate

Proficiency in Latvian is certified by a state language proficiency certificate (valsts valodas prasmes apliecība), issued after a state test. Levels follow the European scale: A1 and A2 (basic), B1 and B2 (intermediate), C1 and C2 (advanced). The test was run by the National Centre for Education (VISC) and, since 2025, by the State Education Development Agency (VIAA). People who completed basic, secondary or higher education in Latvian do not need to take it.

Certificates issued between 1992 and 2000 remain valid without a new test, and a lost certificate can be reissued if less than a year has passed since the test. The test is taken at a chosen level and sub-level, so the certificate states exactly which one was passed. We translate the level, any sub-level and the date exactly as printed, without converting them to another scale. See our Latvian page.

Proof of language of instruction

A US university or licensing board more often asks what language your degree was taught in. A Latvian university can issue a letter or statement confirming it, and that letter is translated like any other certificate, letterhead and stamp included. Foreign-language results on school-leaving exams, stated as B1, B2 or C1, are covered on the Latvian high school diploma page.

English test results such as IELTS or TOEFL are already in English and need no translation. A certificate for a Latvian-language course from a private school is not the state certificate; if you have both, we translate each and say which is which. See the Latvian university diploma 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.
