Certified Academic Transcript Translation
An academic transcript records courses, grades and sometimes credits or contact hours. For study or professional recognition abroad, a complete translation helps the receiving institution review those details alongside your original academic record.

Admissions and transfers
Universities may review individual subjects and results for entry or transfer credit. Confirm whether they require an institution-issued transcript or accept a student copy.
Credential review
An evaluator may require direct delivery from the issuing institution. A translated student copy does not replace sealed-envelope or direct-submission instructions.
Professional registration
A licensing body may ask for credits, course descriptions or practical-training hours. Include the full checklist so related records can be assessed separately.
Grades and credits should remain faithful to the source. A translation does not recalculate a GPA, convert credits or decide whether courses qualify for transfer.
When is certification required?
The receiving authority decides whether it needs a standard, certified or sworn translation and who may certify it. A complete translation may need to include signatures, stamps, seals and annotations. Translation does not authenticate the underlying document or guarantee acceptance.
Compare certified and sworn translationsWhat to provide.
- All transcript pages, not just the page showing final results.
- The grading key, legends, credit definitions and explanatory notes.
- The diploma or course descriptions if requested separately.
- Instructions on certified copies, sealed envelopes and electronic submission.
Requirements differ by destination.
The issuing country, receiving institution and procedure all matter. Confirm the required translator credentials, accepted language and paper or electronic format before ordering. These country pages explain the starting points—not universal acceptance rules.
For other destinations, consult our translation requirements directory. For example, USCIS submissions and UK visitor-visa evidence have their own certification instructions.
Languages and quotation.
Tell us the source language, target language and country where the document will be used. The team checks the requested combination and certification requirements before confirming the quotation; availability is not assumed for every language pair.
The price depends on length, layout, language pair, certification, urgency, additional copies and physical delivery. There is no fixed price that applies to every document.
Timing and delivery.
Turnaround depends on document length, readability, translator availability and the required formalities. Paper delivery, notarization or legalization may add separate steps. Tell us your submission deadline so feasibility can be assessed before you approve.
Ask your receiving institution whether it accepts an electronic translation or requires a signed paper copy. Confirm the agreed price, deadline and delivery format in the quotation.

Frequently asked questions.
Will the grading scale be translated?
Include any grading key or explanatory notes that accompany the transcript. They can be translated as part of the complete record.
Can a translation replace a sealed original?
No. Follow the institution’s original-document and direct-delivery requirements as well as its translation instructions.
Are course descriptions included?
Only when you provide them and they are included in the agreed scope. A transcript does not always contain a detailed syllabus.
Will every authority accept the translation?
No universal acceptance guarantee is possible. Send the receiving authority’s current instructions and confirm the required credentials and format before ordering.
