A certified academic transcript translation is a complete, literal English translation of your transcript or mark sheet plus a signed certificate of accuracy, exactly what universities and credential evaluators such as WES require. Most transcripts are translated and certified within 2–3 business days, depending on length.

Transcripts are detailed: course names, credits, grades, grading scales and dates all have to carry over accurately, because an evaluator converts them into a recognized equivalent. Small errors here cause real delays.

Document submission requirements

To start your academic transcript translation, send us a clear scan or photo of the original document. For translations intended for use in Ukraine, originals or notarially certified copies must be provided, and foreign-issued documents are accepted for translation only with an apostille or a legalization note attached. Every translation must cover the entire text of the document, including seals and stamps, and end with the translator’s signatures.

Details to keep in mind:

• Include both sides of the transcript if content appears on the reverse.
• Make sure stamps and grades are legible; unclear fragments may delay certification.
• If your destination country requires notarization, a notary (state or private) who knows the relevant languages can certify the accuracy of the translation, and Ukrainian consular establishments may also certify the fidelity of translations.

ATA-certified translators

Academic transcripts carry weight only when the translation is accurate and properly certified. Our team includes ATA-certified translators who have passed the American Translators Association certification exam, a recognized benchmark of professional competence in translation.

What this means for your transcript:

• Terminology for courses, grades, credit hours, and degree titles is rendered consistently and verifiably.
• Certification statements can be attached on request, identifying the translator and affirming the translation is complete and accurate to the best of their knowledge.
• Universities, credential evaluation services, licensing boards, and government agencies generally expect a statement of accuracy; an ATA-certified translator provides added assurance that the work meets professional standards.

If your institution specifies a particular certification format, tell us and we will match it.

Customer reviews and ratings

Feedback from clients who ordered academic transcript translations helps new customers understand what to expect: accuracy of course names and grades, correct formatting, and on-time delivery. We publish verified reviews tied to completed orders, so ratings reflect real translation projects rather than general impressions.

When reading reviews, pay attention to:

• Comments about specific document types, such as high school transcripts, university diplomas, and grade supplements.
• Notes on how certification and notarization requests were handled.
• Mentions of communication during the process, especially when clarifications about seals, stamps, or abbreviations were needed.

If you have used our service, we invite you to leave a rating and share details that could help the next student or professional. Reviews are never edited to remove criticism; we use them to improve turnaround and quality.

Supported document types

We translate the full range of academic records, and each translation covers the entire text of the document, including seals and stamps, ending with the translator’s signatures.

Documents we handle:

• High school and secondary school transcripts and report cards.
• University transcripts, diploma supplements, and academic histories.
• Diplomas and degree certificates, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral.
• Course descriptions and syllabi for credential evaluation.
• Enrollment and attendance verification letters.
• Language certificates and professional training records.

For documents issued abroad that will be used in Ukraine, remember that a notary accepts them for translation only when an apostille or legalization note is present, and originals or notarially certified copies should be submitted. If your document type is not listed, send it for review and we will confirm whether we can translate and certify it.

USCIS acceptance guarantee

Translations submitted to USCIS must include a certification from the translator confirming competence in both languages and accuracy of the translation. Our academic transcript translations are prepared to meet this requirement: each translation is complete, covering all text, seals, and stamps, and is accompanied by a signed certification statement.

Our guarantee in practice:

• If USCIS issues a Request for Evidence concerning the translation or certification, we review the notice and correct the issue at no additional charge.
• We follow the certification format USCIS expects, including the translator’s name, signature, and attestation of accuracy.
• Formatting preserves the structure of the original transcript so officers can compare line by line.

Note that acceptance decisions always rest with USCIS; our guarantee covers the translation and certification itself, and we stand behind both.
