For university, employment and immigration use
Translated academic records are commonly required for university admission, scholarships, credit transfer, professional registration, international employment, visa applications and skilled-migration assessments. Each receiving organisation sets its own language, certification, formatting and delivery requirements.
Some institutions accept a professional certified translation. Others request sealed copies, direct delivery, notarisation, an MTA or ITBM-related route, or further authentication. We prepare the translation according to the requirements you confirm and explain available certification options.
How grades and qualifications are handled
We translate the wording shown on the source document and preserve the original meaning and structure. We do not convert grades, claim equivalence between qualifications, or alter academic results. Where helpful, the original grade symbol or term can remain visible alongside its translation so the evaluator can interpret it using the institution’s own rules.
Official stamps, signatures, seals, registration numbers and explanatory notes are represented where legible. Tables are formatted clearly so subjects, credit hours and grades remain easy to compare.
Names and terminology
Provide the passport spelling of the applicant’s name and any existing English version issued by the school or university. We use consistent terminology across certificates and transcripts and check repeated programme names, subjects, dates and identification numbers during review.

Turnaround and confidentiality
Turnaround depends on the number of pages, table complexity, language pair and external certification steps. Urgent service may be available for short records. Academic and identity documents are treated as confidential and shared only with the team members needed to complete the project.

Frequently asked questions
Do you convert my grades to another country’s system?
No. Translation and credential evaluation are different services. We translate the record accurately; the receiving institution or evaluator decides equivalence.
Should I include the transcript legend?
Yes. Grade keys, abbreviations and explanatory notes can be important to the evaluator and should be included.
Can you translate a multi-page transcript urgently?
Possibly. Send the full document so we can assess the table complexity, language availability and realistic quality-control time.
