Life Pacific University says secondary school records not in English may need an official notarized English translation, and that college transcripts, for transfer and graduate applicants, must be evaluated, not just translated, by an official credentialing agency, with AERC recommended.
Life Pacific University accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. Notarization can be added at checkout for $34.90 per order; the evaluation comes from the agency, and we do not provide it.
LPU at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
The LPU catalog asks for an official notarized English translation of non-English secondary records when required (catalog), without restricting who makes it; a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary, notarized, is that kind of translation. Policy checked on November 13, 2026.

Sample translation: a Congolese secondary school transcript
This is what an order looks like when it is delivered, with a fictitious student. The PDF starts with the signed certification page, and the translation follows the original line for line: every abbreviation is explained, stamps, seals and signatures are noted in brackets, and the grid stays the same, so an admissions officer or a credential evaluator can match it without guessing.
What to notice
- Two school years in the same grid as the original: every subject, grading period, exam and total, so each grade can be read against its maximum.
- The French rating abbreviations are translated (TB becomes VG, Very good), and every abbreviation is explained in a translator's note at the foot of the same page, including one the original never defines.
- Dates are written the US way (the original's 02/07/2015 is February 7, 2015).
- The photo, seals and signatures are noted in brackets where they appear.

LPU requirements in detail
Translation
An official notarized English translation may be required for secondary records not in English (catalog).
Who may translate
Not restricted by LPU; a certified translation from a professional service, notarized, meets the rule.
High school equivalency
If US diploma equivalency is unclear from the documents, an official credentialing agency that LPU approves evaluates them (Life Pacific University catalog 2026-2027).
College transcripts
Evaluated, not just translated, by an official credentialing agency; LPU recommends AERC, with subject-by-subject, unit, grading and GPA equivalency (Life Pacific University catalog 2026-2027).
Graduate applicants
Transcripts showing a bachelor's equivalent, evaluated the same way (Life Pacific University catalog 2026-2027).
Bank statements
Some applicants may need an independent evaluation service to translate bank statements (Life Pacific University catalog 2026-2027).
To apply
An unofficial transcript upload (.jpg, .png or .pdf) is enough to apply; the official one is required after admission (international admissions).
A notarized translation for the high school record
LPU checks that your secondary schooling equals a US high school diploma.
If the originals are not in English, the catalog says an official notarized English translation may be required of you, and if equivalency still cannot be determined, an approved credentialing agency must evaluate the records (2026-2027 catalog).
Ordering the translation with notarization from the start avoids a second round.
You can apply with unofficial copies: LPU accepts an uploaded transcript for the application and asks for the official one after admission (international admissions). Allow at least four months to complete an international file (catalog).
College records: evaluated, not just translated
For any college work, LPU is explicit that a translation is not enough: transcripts must be evaluated by an official credentialing agency, and it recommends AERC (American Education Research Corporation).
The report must break down each subject with semester units, grading equivalency and GPA (catalog). Graduate applicants follow the same rule for the transcript that shows a bachelor's equivalent.
Check what translation the agency accepts before ordering, and send it the translation with your records.
Financial documents can also need help: the catalog says some international students may have to use an independent evaluation service to translate bank statements (Life Pacific University catalog 2026-2027).
Need a certified translation for LPU?
$24.95 per page with no word cap, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- High school transcripts and diploma, notarized translation
- College or university transcripts, for the agency evaluation
- Bachelor's degree certificate, for graduate programs
- Bank statements, if not in English
What an eVerbary translation includes
- A complete English translation of every page, stamps, seals and handwritten notes included, laid out like the original so each line can be matched.
- Grades exactly as recorded, with the grading scale the document prints. We never convert marks to a US GPA.
- A signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead, with our contact details, delivered as a PDF you can upload.
- $24.95 per page with no word cap, certification included; 24 hours for one to three pages as standard. Regular clients who need it can get delivery in as little as 30 minutes, on request.
Uploading the translation to LPU
Unofficial transcripts and translations can be uploaded with the application or emailed to admissions@lifepacific.edu; official transcripts come after admission, from the school or by digital service (Undergraduate international admissions).
College translations go to the credentialing agency with your records; the agency's report goes to LPU (catalog).
What we do not do
eVerbary is a translation service, not a credential evaluation service: we do not issue evaluations, US equivalencies or GPA conversions, and we cannot send documents on behalf of the school that issued them.
For LPU that means we translate and, on request, notarize your records; any credential evaluation (AERC or another agency) is ordered by you.
How to order
- Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
- Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
- Receive the PDF, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages, and upload it with the copy of the original wherever the institution asks for it.
Frequently asked questions
Does LPU require a notarized translation?
The catalog says an official notarized English translation may be required for secondary records not in English (Life Pacific University catalog 2026-2027). eVerbary adds notarization for $34.90 per order.
Is a translation of my university transcript enough?
No. College transcripts must be evaluated, not just translated, by an official credentialing agency; LPU recommends AERC (Life Pacific University catalog 2026-2027).
Can I apply with unofficial copies?
Yes. An unofficial transcript upload is accepted to apply; the official transcript is required once admitted (Undergraduate international admissions).
How early should I start?
LPU asks international students to allow at least four months to complete their file (Life Pacific University catalog 2026-2027).
Will eVerbary convert my grades to a US GPA?
No. The translation reproduces the grades and the grading scale exactly as they appear. A GPA conversion is credential evaluation, which the institution or an evaluation agency does.
