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.
