What this service covers
Certified translations for academic records and qualifications
An academic certificate translation is usually needed when a qualification document is in another language and must be submitted in English for an application, assessment, employment file or official record.
We translate the visible content of the document clearly, including names, dates, institution details, grade information, stamps, seals, signatures, handwritten notes and reverse-side text where relevant. The translation is formatted so the receiving organisation can compare it with the original.
Documents covered
Academic documents we can help with
Send the complete document rather than only the main page. Academic paperwork often includes stamps, back-page notes, grade tables or issuing-body details that may need to appear in the certified translation.
Degree certificates
University diplomas
Academic transcripts
School certificates
Qualification documents
Training certificates
Course completion letters
School or university letters

What to send
Help us prepare the translation correctly
Academic documents are often assessed closely, especially where grades, degree titles, course names or institution names are important. Sending a complete, readable copy helps avoid delays and unnecessary questions.
- A clear scan or photo of the full academic certificate or transcript.
- All pages of the document, including the back if it contains stamps or notes.
- The language you need the document translated into.
- The receiving organisation, if it has specific wording or certification requirements.
- Your deadline, especially for university, visa, licensing or employment submissions.
Certification and checks
Prepared for official document use
Certified academic translations are commonly used for universities, schools, employers, immigration applications, credential assessment bodies and overseas authorities. Requirements can vary, so it is best to confirm whether the receiving organisation needs a standard certified translation, notarisation, apostille support or another declaration.
- Certified translation Suitable for many official UK submissions where a signed accuracy declaration is required.
- Notarised translation Useful when an additional notarial step is requested by an authority, embassy or legal process.
- Apostille or legalisation support May be needed when academic documents are being used overseas.
- Sworn translation guidance Some countries require a sworn translator recognised in that jurisdiction. Ask before ordering if this applies to your submission.
Common use cases
When academic certificate translation is needed
The right certification depends on where the translation will be submitted. Always check the receiving organisation’s instructions before ordering if they have strict requirements.
| Submission type | Documents often requested | What to check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| University or school admission | Degree certificate, diploma, school certificate, transcript or completion letter. | Check whether the institution asks for certified, notarised or sealed hard-copy translations. |
| Immigration or visa application | Academic qualifications, transcripts and supporting education evidence. | Check the authority’s translation requirements, including certification wording and contact details. |
| Employment or professional registration | Degree certificate, professional qualification, training certificate or academic record. | Confirm whether the employer or regulator needs a specific declaration or hard copy. |
| Credential assessment | Diploma, transcript, grade report, course record or qualification document. | Check whether the assessment body requires formatting, sealed delivery or exact naming rules. |

Questions customers often ask
Academic certificate translation FAQs
What is an academic certificate translation?
It is a translation of an education document such as a degree certificate, diploma, transcript, school certificate or qualification record. For official use, it is normally supplied with a certification statement confirming the translation is accurate and complete.
Do I need a certified translation for my academic certificate?
You usually need a certified translation when the document is being submitted to an official organisation, university, employer, immigration authority, credential body or overseas authority. The exact requirements depend on the receiving organisation.
Can you translate academic transcripts as well as certificates?
Yes. Academic transcripts, grade reports, diplomas, degree certificates, qualification documents, training certificates and school letters can all be reviewed for translation.
Can I upload a photo of the document?
A clear photo or scan is usually enough for a quote. Make sure every edge of the document is visible and that stamps, seals, handwritten notes, signatures and back-page content can be read.
Will the translation follow the original layout?
Yes. The translation is formatted clearly so it follows the structure of the original document as closely as practical, making it easier for the receiving organisation to compare both versions.
How quickly can I receive my academic certificate translation?
Standard certified translations are usually suitable when the matter is not urgent. Express 12–24 hour options may be available depending on the language, document length, formatting and certification type required.
What should I check with my university or authority first?
Check whether they need a certified PDF, hard copy, notarised translation, apostille support, sworn translation or any specific wording in the certification statement. Share those instructions before ordering.
