What Makes a Diploma Translation “Certified”?
Under 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3), any foreign-language document submitted to USCIS must include a full English translation, along with a signed statement certifying that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent in both languages. Our translators prepare this certification for every diploma order, and their credentials are backed by our ATA Corporate Membership (#280493) — so evaluators and USCIS officers can verify the translator’s standing independently.

“I used this for an NCEES engineering credential evaluation. The $18/page rate was lower than two other quotes I got, and the ATA membership number on the certificate gave my evaluator everything they needed to verify it.”

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a certified diploma translation?
A certified diploma translation is a complete English translation of your diploma or degree certificate, accompanied by a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy stating that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent in both languages.
2. How much does it cost to translate a diploma?
Standard certified diploma translation is $18 per page. Expedited 12–24 hour service is $28 per page. There are no per-word surcharges.
3. How is a 'page' defined for pricing purposes?
A page is defined as 250 words or fewer, including numbers. If you're unsure how many pages your diploma will come to, request a free quote and we'll confirm the page count, price, and turnaround before you order.
4. Do your translators hold ATA credentials?
Our translations are completed under our American Translators Association Corporate Membership (#280493). Your finished document includes the translator's certification and signature so institutions can verify the credential.
5. Will USCIS accept this diploma translation?
Yes. Our certified translations are prepared to meet the certification standard in 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3), and we back every order with our acceptance guarantee — if USCIS raises a question about the translation itself, we'll revise it at no charge.
6. Will WES, ECE, or other NACES-member evaluators accept it?
Our certified translations are prepared to meet standard NACES-member requirements, including WES and ECE. Because each evaluator can have its own submission rules, we recommend confirming specific requirements with your evaluator before you submit.
7. What's included in the Certificate of Translation Accuracy?
It includes a formal statement of the translator's competency, confirmation that the translation is complete and accurate, and the translator's name, signature, date, and contact information.
8. How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is 24–48 hours from the time you submit your document. Expedited 12–24 hour delivery is available for an additional fee.
9. Is expedited delivery available?
Yes. Expedited service delivers your certified translation in 12–24 hours for $28 per page.
10. Do I need to mail you the original diploma?
No. A clear photo or scanned copy uploaded through our secure order form is sufficient to get started; you can order a mailed hard copy of the finished translation separately if you need one.
11. How many languages do you support?
We translate diplomas from more than 65 languages into English, including Spanish, French, Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and Vietnamese.
12. How do you handle seals, stamps, or signatures on the original diploma?
Our translators render all visible text elements — including institutional seals, registrar stamps, and signatures — so evaluators can cross-reference the translation against your original document.
13. Is notarization included, or is it a separate cost?
The $18/page rate covers the certified translation and the Certificate of Translation Accuracy. If your institution or evaluator specifically requires notarization, it can be added at checkout for $9.
14. Will the translated document match the layout of my original diploma?
We follow the same general format and section order as your source document. We don't attempt to replicate its exact visual appearance (seals, borders, letterhead design), but all content is presented for easy side-by-side comparison.
15. Can I use this translation for university admissions?
Yes. Our certified translations are commonly submitted for undergraduate and graduate admissions, alongside academic transcripts where required.
16. What's the difference between a certified translation and a notarized translation?
A certified translation includes the translator's signed statement verifying accuracy and completeness. A notarized translation adds a notary public witnessing the signing of that statement to confirm the signer's identity. USCIS requires certification; some courts or corporate processes additionally require notarization.
17. How is my document data kept secure?
Documents are transmitted over an encrypted connection and handled only by authorized translation staff bound by confidentiality agreements.
18. Can I request a name-spelling correction to match my passport or U.S. records?
Yes. You'll have a chance to review your draft before the final certified copy is issued. Let us know your preferred transliteration and we'll apply it.
19. Do you translate academic transcripts as well as diplomas?
Yes. We translate transcripts, grade sheets, course descriptions, and graduation certificates at the same $18/page rate — see our academic transcript translation page for details.
20. What happens if my translation is questioned or needs revision?
If USCIS or an evaluator raises a question specifically about our translation, we'll revise the document at no additional charge until it's resolved.
21. Can I get a physical, mailed copy of my translated diploma?
Yes. Standard orders are delivered as a digital PDF; a printed hard copy can be mailed to you for an additional $12 at checkout.
