  • Course and module titles, subjects and qualifications
  • Grades, marks, credits and grading notes
  • Student and institution names, dates and references
  • Tables, annotations, legible stamps and signatures
  • Certification requirements provided by the recipient

Frequently asked questions

Academic transcript translation FAQs.

What is an academic transcript translation?

It is a translation of an academic record showing subjects, modules, grades, credit values and other educational information. The translation should reflect the complete source record.

Does my university require certified translation?

Each university sets its own requirements. Check whether an accuracy statement, translator details or another certification format is needed for your intended submission.

Can grades and credits be translated?

Grades, marks and credit values can be represented from the source. Formal grade conversion and qualification equivalence are separate services, not automatically included in translation.

Can my transcript be translated for UK ENIC or Ecctis?

Review the current instructions for your particular qualification assessment or application, including any requirements for the original record and translation format.

How long does academic transcript translation take?

Turnaround depends on the source language, number of pages, legibility, complex tables and certification needed. Upload your document to confirm the available options.
