Academic transcript & diploma translation, format-matched to the original
A registrar or credential evaluator expects your transcript to look like a transcript — grade tables lined up, course codes intact, the institutional seal where it was on the original. A translation that just narrates the content in paragraph form gets flagged.

Who it's for
- A
You’re submitting a foreign transcript or diploma to a US university, graduate program, or credential-evaluation service (WES, ECE, and similar).
- B
An employer or licensing board is asking for an English translation of your degree and academic record as part of a job or license application.
- C
A previous translation of your transcript was returned because the grade table or course list wasn’t reproduced clearly.
- D
You’re combining this with a credential evaluation and need the translation formatted for that pipeline, not just for a general reader.
What's included
Included
- A complete translation of every entry — courses, grades, credit hours, dates, and institutional seals.
- Table-for-table formatting that mirrors the original transcript’s layout, not a paragraph summary.
- A signed Certificate of Accuracy.
- Free correction or re-translation if a receiving institution rejects the translation for a translation-accuracy issue, reported within 30 days.
Not included
- The credential evaluation itself (WES, ECE, or similar) — we translate the document; the evaluation service assesses its US equivalency.
- Notarization — add it if your evaluator or employer specifically asks for a notarized translation.
- Verifying your academic record with the issuing institution.

How this works
- 01
Send your transcript or diploma
A clear scan or photo of every page, including the back if there’s a seal or signature there.
- 02
Format-matched translation
Your translator reproduces the grade table and course structure rather than converting it into prose — the layout a registrar expects to scan quickly.
- 03
QA review for both accuracy and layout
A second reviewer checks the translated content against the source and confirms the table structure still matches.
- 04
Certified delivery
A signed Certificate of Accuracy and a PDF ready to submit to your school, employer, or evaluator.

Why us, for this document type
Table for table, not paragraph for page
Grade tables and course listings are reproduced in the same structure as the original — the format registrars and evaluators are trained to expect.
Built for the evaluation pipeline
We format transcripts the way credential-evaluation services process them, not just for a general reader.
If it’s rejected, we fix it
A translation-accuracy rejection reported within 30 days gets corrected or re-translated at no charge.
Frequently asked questions
Will the translation keep my grade table in the same format?
Yes — that’s the point of this service. We reproduce the table structure (courses, credit hours, grades) rather than rewriting it as a paragraph, which is what most evaluators and registrars expect to see.
Do I need this notarized for WES or ECE?
Most credential-evaluation services accept a certified translation without notarization, but requirements vary by evaluator and by which report you’re ordering. Check your evaluator’s instructions, or add notarization here if it’s requested. See our certified vs. sworn vs. notarized guide for the full comparison.
What if my transcript is several pages long?
Each 250-word block is billed as one page — a multi-page transcript with dense course tables may run several pages. The order form totals it exactly before you pay.
Can you translate a diploma with an institutional seal or signature?
Yes. Seals, signatures, and any text on the seal itself are part of the translation, and format-matched layout ($12.00/page) is available if you want the seal’s position visually reproduced.
How long does this take?
Standard is 2–3 business days; rush (next business day) is +40%; same-day is available for orders of 5 pages or fewer, ordered by 10:00 ET, for a flat $95.00.
Can you translate course descriptions too, for a full credit evaluation?
Yes — add course descriptions or a syllabus as additional pages in the same order; they’re priced and translated the same way as the transcript itself.
