Degrees and their Arabic titles
Saudi universities award the bachelor's degree (bakaloriyus) after four years, five in engineering and veterinary medicine, and longer in medicine and pharmacy with hospital training. A master's (majistir) follows in about two years with a dissertation, and a doctorate (doktorah) in about three more. The diploma states the overall grade, Excellent, Very good, Good or Acceptable, and any first- or second-class honours.
We translate the degree title literally and leave the US equivalence to the evaluator, who will also want the transcript. A diploma from a programme taught in English may already carry an English title; we keep it as printed. Where a diploma is dated only in the Hijri calendar, we keep that date and add the Gregorian one, so the graduation date lines up with your transcript and US forms. See credential evaluation translations.
Verification, attestation and the apostille
Saudi Arabia has been a party to the Apostille Convention since 7 December 2022, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as competent authority; apostilles can be checked on the ministry's online search. An older diploma may instead carry legalisation stamps from before that date. We translate whichever stamps it carries, in the order they appear. USCIS does not require an apostille, but some licensing boards ask for one, so check first.
SACM, the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission in Fairfax, Virginia, serves Saudi students in the US and publishes the Saudi grading scales evaluators refer to. Its grading page lists the 5.0 university scale and notes the 4.0 scale at King Fahd University. We translate the diploma and any Arabic attestation stamps on it. If the diploma is bilingual, we translate the Arabic text and keep the English as printed, flagging any difference. See our Arabic 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
My diploma is in Arabic and English.
We translate the Arabic text and flag anything that differs from the English side.
Do you convert my grade to a US one?
No. We translate the overall grade as printed; an evaluator converts it.
Do I need the transcript too?
For an evaluation, yes. It lists every course and grade.
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.
