Academic Document Translation
Transcript Translations for Universities, Credential Bodies, and Visa Applications

Applying to a foreign university, having your qualifications recognized by a credential evaluation body such as WES or ICES, or applying for a professional license in a new country all require accurate translations of your academic records. These translations must follow specific formatting requirements and include a Certificate of Accuracy from the translation agency.

Our translators are familiar with the requirements of major credential evaluation organizations in North America, Europe, and Australia, and format translations accordingly.

Common Questions
Transcript Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translation agency confirming the accuracy and completeness of the translation. A notarized translation goes one step further: a notary public witnesses and authenticates the translator's signature on the certificate. Most universities and credential evaluation bodies accept certified translations. Some government agencies and legal proceedings may require notarization. We provide both options.
WES, ICES, IQAS, and comparable organizations accept translations from professional agencies that include a Certificate of Accuracy. Our translations are formatted to meet their requirements, with all grades, subject names, and credit hours translated and presented clearly. We recommend checking the specific requirements of your credential evaluation body before submitting.
A single-page transcript is typically completed quickly. Multi-page transcripts covering multiple academic years take 1 to 2 business days. Same-day service is available for urgent applications.
