Diploma Translation for Admissions, Credential Evaluation & Official Use
Translating a diploma is not just about converting words. Admissions teams and credential evaluators look for clarity: degree title, institution details, dates, seals, and any official notes — all presented in a clean, review-friendly format.
We provide certified diploma translations into English and 80+ languages, delivered as a secure PDF package with a signed certification statement. Most clients receive a quote within 30 minutes and can choose a turnaround that fits the deadline.

Certified Diploma Translation for Education and Official Review
A diploma is often the headline document in an academic package — but it is rarely submitted alone. We translate diplomas in a way that supports downstream review: admissions, credential evaluation, licensing, employment, and official procedures. The deliverable is a clean PDF with a signed certification statement and a layout designed for fast verification.
What you receive
You receive a complete translation that preserves key academic meaning — degree title, awarding institution, dates, stamps/seals, and official notes. We mirror the original structure so reviewers can cross-check fields without hunting through paragraphs.
For multi-document sets, we apply consistency rules (names, dates, institution naming, transliteration) so the entire package reads as one coherent file.
Who typically needs a diploma translation
Clients order diploma translations for practical, deadline-driven scenarios:
- University admissions and international student applications
- Credential evaluation for education equivalency or professional review
- Licensing boards and regulated professions (where translations are required)
- Employment verification and HR compliance requests
- Immigration situations where academic documents support a case
If you are translating both a diploma and an academic record, see Transcript Translation.
Requirements for Diploma Translation
Diploma translations are usually requested for admissions, credential evaluation, licensing, employment, and immigration-related education checks. Requirements can differ by institution, but the safest approach is a complete, structured translation that preserves academic details and document identifiers.
What a “submission-ready” diploma translation should include
A diploma is not just a title and a date. Reviewers typically need to understand the awarding institution, qualification level, program name, dates, and any official notes on the document. Missing small lines (or seals) can create delays later.
- Complete translation of all visible text (front/back, stamps, seals, notes, margins)
- Academic identifiers preserved (diploma number, registry references, series, issuing authority)
- Clear structure that mirrors the original layout for fast review
- Accurate names and dates to stay consistent with passports, transcripts, and applications
- Certification statement confirming translator competence and translation accuracy
Documents Commonly Submitted Alongside a Diploma
Many education workflows require a set, not a single document. If you upload multiple files, we can keep names, dates, and institution details consistent across the entire package.
Academic records
Most admissions and evaluation requests include supporting academic documents:
- Transcripts
- Diploma supplements / annexes
- Course descriptions (when requested)
- Certificates of completion
Identity & civil documents
Often needed to match personal data across an application:
- Passports and IDs
- Birth certificates
- Marriage certificates
- Name change documents
Professional and employment files
Sometimes requested for licensing, employment, or professional review:
- Professional licenses
- Reference letters
- Employment records
- Training certificates

Certified vs Apostille / Legalization for Diplomas
A certified translation proves language accuracy with a signed certification statement. Apostille/legalization proves document authenticity for international acceptance. These solve different problems — and many cross-border cases require both.
Certified translation
Certified diploma translation is the standard request for admissions, credential evaluation, and many official processes when the diploma is not in English. It focuses on completeness, accuracy, and reviewer-friendly structure.
- Purpose: make the diploma readable and verifiable in the target language
- You receive: translation + signed certification statement (PDF)
- Best for: admissions, evaluation, employers, and official requests
- Key point: certification relates to translation — not international legalization
Apostille / legalization
If your diploma must be accepted in another country, you may need apostille (Hague Convention route) or legalization (non-Hague route). Requirements depend on the destination country and on how the diploma was issued and certified.
- Purpose: authenticate the document (and sometimes the notary chain) for cross-border acceptance
- What may be required: apostille or legalization, depending on destination rules
- Often paired with: certified translation and, in some workflows, notarization
- Key point: destination instructions are decisive — confirm before ordering extras
