Frequently Asked Questions

Do U.S. universities require certified or notarized translations?

U.S. universities typically require certified translations for official academic records. Notarization is generally not required by universities (though some may request it). Check with your specific institution’s admissions requirements.

Yes. Foreign-language letters of recommendation for university applications are regularly translated by our native-speaking translators.

Many U.S. graduate programs and some undergraduate programs require a credential evaluation (from WES or another NACES member) in addition to certified translations. Translation and evaluation are separate services — we provide the translation, and the evaluation organization provides the credential assessment.
