Certified translation or credential evaluation?
These are two different things and applicants confuse them constantly. A certified translation turns your document into English, word for word. A credential evaluation is a separate assessment of what your degree is equivalent to in the US system, done by an evaluation service.
Many universities require both: they send you to an evaluator, and the evaluator asks for certified translations of your records. Check what each school and each evaluator asks for before you order.
What gets translated
Academic applications usually involve:
- Diplomas and degree certificates
- Transcripts and course-by-course grade records
- Grading scale explanations issued by the school
- Recommendation letters written in another language
- Birth certificates and passports for enrollment and visa paperwork
Why layout matters for transcripts
A transcript is a table, and the reader needs to match each course to its grade and credits. A translation that reflows the content into paragraphs makes that impossible. Our translations mirror the original structure so every row still lines up.
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 a page is up to 250 words.
A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at $0.10 per word.
Frequently asked questions
Do universities accept certified translations?
Yes. Admissions offices and credential evaluators routinely ask for certified translations of academic records. Each institution sets its own requirements, so confirm with the school before ordering.
Is a certified translation the same as a credential evaluation?
No. A translation converts the document into English. An evaluation assesses what the qualification is equivalent to in the US and is done by a separate evaluation service.
Do you translate grading scales?
Yes, we translate the grades and any grading key exactly as they appear. Converting grades to a US scale is part of a credential evaluation, not a translation.
How are transcripts priced?
Certified translation is $24.95 per page, where a page is up to 250 words. Long transcripts are counted by words, not by the number of sheets.
