Built for the details universities check
Academic documents are often packed with administrative language, abbreviations, stamps, signatures, and tables. We handle the details that matter most:
Formatting that mirrors the original
Tables stay as tables, stamps are translated, handwritten notes are included where legible, and the layout remains easy to verify.
Consistent name spelling across documents
We keep your name consistent across transcripts, diplomas, and IDs, and we flag discrepancies early to avoid rejections.
Academic terminology handled correctly
Course titles, departments, grading labels, and institutional terms are translated clearly and conservatively.
No “creative” interpretation
We translate what’s on the page—grades, dates, and titles are not altered. Where something is unclear, we’ll query it rather than guess.
- How It Works
Fast, simple process (built for urgent deadlines)
Upload you document
Send a scan or clear photo. If you don't have a scanner, a phone phot is fine—just ensure it's readable.
We confirm price and turnaround
You'll receive a clear quote based on language, length, and deadline—no surprises.
Translation + quality check
Your translation is produced, reviewed, and prepared with the correct certification wording.
Delivery
You receive your certified translation by email as a professional PDF. If you need printed copies, ask about delivery options when you submit.
- add-ons
Need other certifications for your document?
You can also request:
Certified Translation
Best for most official and administrative uses. A certified translation confirms that the translation is accurate and complete and is supplied with an appropriate certification statement.
Apostille/Legalisation
If you’re submitting documents internationally, you may need authentication for cross-border recognition. This is common for overseas authorities, international study/work, and certain legal processes.
“The best decision I’ve made for my documents. The translation service is accurate, dependable, and ensures my paperwork is accepted worldwide.”
Notarised Translation
A notarised translation adds an extra layer of verification. This is typically requested when a receiving party need formal confirmation of the translator’s identity/signature.
Sworn Translation
Some countries require sworn translators appointed/recognised by courts or official bodies. If your destination authority specifies “sworn translation”, tell us the country and purpose.
Confidential, secure handling of your documents
Academic records are personal and sensitive. We keep your documents confidential and handle them securely, with controlled access and careful file management throughout the process.
You can also request:
- Redaction guidance for non-essential sensitive data (when permitted by the receiving institution)
- Separate delivery files per document type (e.g., transcript, diploma, letter)
Frequently Asked Questions
Do universities require certified academic document translation services?
Many universities and credential evaluators request certified translations for official academic records such as transcripts and diplomas. If your institution specifies “certified translation,” we can provide the translation with a certification statement confirming accuracy and completeness.
What documents are included in academic document translation services?
Common documents include transcripts, diplomas, degree certificates, mark sheets, course descriptions, letters of recommendation, MOI letters, and enrolment confirmations. We also translate theses and academic papers when required.
Can you translate educational documents from photos or scans?
Yes. Clear scans or high-quality photos are usually sufficient. If a stamp, seal, or handwritten note is unclear, we’ll tell you what needs improving before we finalise the translation.
Do you keep the original formatting of transcripts and mark sheets?
Yes. Academic records often rely on tables and structured layouts. We mirror the original format as closely as possible so admissions teams can verify the document easily.
Will you convert my grades or GPA into another system?
No—universities and evaluators typically require a faithful translation of what’s written on the document. We translate grading labels and notes, but we do not alter values or convert grades.
How fast can you deliver university translation services?
Turnaround depends on length, language pair, and formatting. We offer standard and express options, and same-day delivery may be available for short, clear documents.
Do you offer school translation services for parents and school districts?
Yes. We translate school records, letters, reports, immunisation/health forms (where relevant), and enrolment paperwork for schools and districts that require documents in another language.
Do you provide notarisation or legalisation for academic translations?
We can support notarisation requests and advise on legalisation or apostille routes depending on where you are submitting the documents. Requirements vary by country and institution.
Can you handle multiple documents and keep names consistent?
Yes. We apply consistent spelling and formatting across your full set (transcript, diploma, ID, letters) and flag discrepancies to reduce the chance of rejection.
Do you offer an education transcription service as well?
Yes. If you have recorded academic audio (interviews, research recordings, hearings), we can transcribe and translate it in a structured format suitable for review.
