A license is not a qualification
These are two different documents doing two different jobs, and they are routinely confused. A degree says you were educated. A license says a regulator permits you to practise — and in most of the world it is issued by a professional college, council or board rather than by the university.
A US licensing board evaluating a foreign applicant usually wants both, plus evidence that the license is current and in good standing. We translate each for what it is and never describe a license as a degree or the reverse. See our university diploma and transcript pages.
Which professions, and what the document is called
Beyond the medical and nursing credentials we cover separately: engineering and architecture registrations, teaching certificates, bar admission and legal practice certificates, accountancy registrations, pharmacy and dentistry licenses, veterinary registrations, and the skilled-trade certificates for welding, electrical work and heavy vehicles.
The names vary and are kept: a cédula profesional, a colegiatura, a tarjeta profesional, a matrícula, an Approbation. Registration numbers are reproduced exactly, because they are how a US board verifies the license independently with the issuing body.
Good standing and currency
Boards generally want a certificate of good standing issued recently — frequently within three or six months — and sent directly by the issuing authority rather than handed over by the applicant. That is a procedural requirement a translation cannot satisfy, so establish it before ordering.
Where a license has conditions, restrictions or a disciplinary annotation, those are translated exactly as written and never omitted. A clean-looking translation of a restricted license is a misrepresentation.
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 my degree the same as my license?
No. A degree says you were educated; a license says a regulator permits you to practise. Boards usually want both.
Do you translate the registration number?
Reproduced exactly. It is how a US board verifies your license with the issuing body.
My license has a restriction noted on it.
It is translated exactly as written. Omitting it would misrepresent the document.
Does the certificate of good standing need to be recent?
Usually within three or six months, and frequently sent directly by the issuing authority. Check before ordering.
