Sample translation: a Mexican high school certificate
This is what an order looks like when it is delivered, with invented names, school and numbers. The original in Spanish sits next to our English translation, and the PDF starts with the signed certification page. Bracketed text in the translation is a translator's note: each abbreviation is spelled out the first time it appears, and the layout follows the original line for line, so an admissions officer or a credential evaluator can match it without guessing.
What to notice
- CCT, CURP and the state abbreviation Jal. are spelled out in brackets the first time they appear, so an evaluator does not have to look up a Mexican acronym.
- Courtesy and degree titles (C., Mtra., Lic.) are kept as printed and explained once; names keep both surnames in place.
- Grades stay on the 5-to-10 scale the certificate prints, with its minimum passing grade. Converting them is the evaluator's job.
- The six semesters keep the certificate's two columns, and the seal, signatures and QR code are described in brackets where they appear.

The diploma, translated by a service
TCC's first F-1 step is the free online application, and the same step sets the document rule: your high school diploma or transcript must be translated into English by an official translating service (international students).
A certified translation from eVerbary, a professional translation service, fits that wording. On request we can email it directly to the admissions office.
The deadlines for the Form I-20 application appear in step 3 of TCC's process; send the translated diploma early so it does not hold up the I-20. Every international student also meets the English requirements, through an exemption or an appointment with the Testing Office (International students).

Uploading the translation to TCC
Apply online through TCC's application, then submit the translated diploma or transcript with your I-20 materials (International students).
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 TCC that means we translate your diploma, transcripts and bank statements; ESL placement and the I-20 are handled by the college.
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.
