Certified academic document translation
Academic translation services turn transcripts, diplomas, report cards, enrollment letters, school certificates, and academic records into certified English translations for USCIS filings, university admissions, school enrollment, licensing boards, employers, and document review. Corpus Localization translates clear, eligible standard academic documents for $19.99/page, with 24-hour delivery available after order acceptance for most standard files.
Admissions offices and credential evaluators often ask applicants to submit complete certified English translations of transcripts, diplomas, mark sheets, grading legends, and school-issued records. Corpus translates the record as shown and preserves course, grade, seal, stamp, and note text, but the school or evaluator decides whether the translation meets its requirements and whether a separate credential evaluation is needed.
Use Start your order when the document is clear and the page count is easy to confirm. Use Request a quote when the file is a multi-page transcript, a sealed or stamped record, a packet with several school documents, an unclear scan, a document with handwritten notes, or a record tied to recipient instructions.
Corpus provides certified document translation. Corpus does not evaluate foreign degrees, convert GPAs, decide credit transfer, give admissions advice, provide legal advice, notarize documents, obtain apostilles, or guarantee that any school, agency, licensing board, evaluator, employer, or immigration office will accept a record.
Academic translation services convert school-issued records into English so a recipient can read the full document.
For Corpus, the most common request is certified academic translation into English. A certified academic translation includes the translated record and a signed Certificate of Accuracy. The certificate states that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from the source language into English.
Academic records can include transcripts, diplomas, degree certificates, mark sheets, report cards, school letters, enrollment records, graduation letters, course lists, grading scales, registrar forms, certificates, and school-issued pages with stamps or seals. The translation should reflect names, dates, grades, course titles, signatures, seals, handwritten notes, margins, and back-side text when those items appear on the record.
Academic translation is not credential evaluation. Translation changes the language of the record. Credential evaluation analyzes the academic level, credit value, institution status, or U.S. equivalency of the record. Some recipients need translation only; others may ask for translation plus a separate evaluation from a credential evaluator.
Students, families, immigrants, graduates, licensed professionals, and job applicants often need certified academic translation.
Common academic translation use cases include university admissions, transfer applications, high school enrollment, graduate programs, professional licensing, employer document requests, scholarship files, credential evaluator submissions, and immigration packets. A student may need a transcript translated for a U.S. college. A parent may need a report card translated for school enrollment. A licensed professional may need a diploma and transcript translated before a board reviews the file.
USCIS filings can also include academic records when the document supports an immigration benefit, education history, employment history, or identity-related file. Corpus can translate academic records for USCIS-purpose packets, but it does not decide which documents belong in an immigration filing and does not give immigration advice.
If the recipient gave written instructions, include those instructions when you request a quote. Formatting, certification language, page handling, and name spelling can matter when a school, board, evaluator, employer, or agency has a specific intake rule.
Corpus translates transcripts, diplomas, certificates, report cards, enrollment letters, registrar letters, and school packets.
Transcripts usually need quote review when they have several pages, dense tables, multiple grading scales, abbreviations, handwritten notes, seals, or back-side text. Diplomas and certificates are often simpler because many are one page with a clear title, name, institution, date, degree, and signature block. Report cards and school records vary more because they may include attendance, conduct, teacher notes, subject grades, grading keys, and stamps.
The safest upload is a complete scan of every page the recipient may review. Do not crop stamps, seals, signatures, margins, QR codes, registrar text, or the back of the document. If a transcript packet includes front and back pages, both sides should be uploaded. If a school envelope or cover sheet contains required text, upload it for review too.

Start an order for clear academic documents with known page count. Request a quote for transcript packets.
A one-page diploma, certificate, or school letter can usually go through start an academic translation order when the image is clear, complete, and easy to count. The standard certified translation price for eligible documents is $19.99/page. Most standard eligible files can be delivered within 24 hours after order acceptance.
Use request quote review for academic records for multi-page transcripts, several documents in one packet, unclear phone photos, handwritten notes, seals or stamps that may need careful handling, back-side text, redactions, tables with many abbreviations, or instructions from a university, licensing board, credential evaluator, employer, attorney, or agency. Quote review is also the better route when you are not sure how many pages count or whether every page needs translation.
The order path is for speed when the document is straightforward. The quote path is for accuracy when the record needs review before pricing and turnaround are confirmed.
Academic translation starts at $19.99/page for eligible standard certified documents.
Pricing is page-based for clear standard documents because students and families need to know the cost before they order. A simple one-page diploma is usually one page. A transcript with front and back pages, several pages of grades, registrar notes, grading legends, or attachment pages may count as more than one page. If the scan includes multiple academic records in one file, each page still needs review.
Corpus uses Start your order for straightforward files and Request a quote for packets that need manual review. Quote review does not mean the buyer is being pushed into hidden pricing. It means the file has enough document-specific detail that the team should inspect it before confirming price, delivery time, and handling instructions.
Do not assume that a school only needs the grade table translated. A receiving office may expect the full record, including headers, footers, stamps, seals, signatures, remarks, course names, grading keys, and back-side notes. Upload the complete document so the quote or order can be handled correctly.
Corpus can provide certified translations of academic records for USCIS-purpose packets when records are clear.
A USCIS-purpose academic translation should be complete, accurate, and paired with a signed certification statement. Corpus can translate the document text, names, dates, courses, grades, stamps, seals, signatures, and notes that appear in the source file. Corpus cannot decide whether the academic record is required for a filing, whether the evidence is strong enough, or whether USCIS will approve an application.
For simple academic records with known page count, use Start your order. For immigration packets with transcripts, diplomas, birth certificates, marriage certificates, identity records, employment letters, or several supporting documents, use Request a quote so the file set can be reviewed together.
If a lawyer, preparer, school, or agency gave document instructions, upload those instructions with the records. Recipient instructions help the team understand whether all pages, backs, seals, stamps, and attachments need to be translated.
Upload complete, readable files with edges, stamps, seals, signatures, handwritten notes, and back-side text visible.
The translation team can only translate what it can see. A cropped diploma, half-visible transcript, blurry phone photo, or missing back page can delay the order. If a record has a stamp over text, take a clear image with enough light to read both. If a transcript has several pages, combine them in order or label the files clearly.
Useful file names include transcript-page-1, transcript-page-2, diploma-front, diploma-back, enrollment-letter, or grading-scale. If the record uses a non-Latin alphabet, upload any recipient-requested spelling of names. If the student has a passport, school ID, or prior translation with a preferred English spelling, include that note in the order or quote request.
Do not alter grades, hide remarks, remove seals, or edit scans before upload. Translation is a language service, not a record-cleaning or document-authentication service.
No. Corpus translates academic documents; it does not evaluate foreign degrees or determine U.S. equivalency.
Degree evaluation, course-by-course evaluation, GPA conversion, credit transfer, institution recognition, and professional licensing review are separate services handled by schools, boards, employers, or credential evaluation companies. Corpus can translate the records those reviewers need to read, but it does not decide the academic value of the record.
This distinction matters for students and professionals. A university may ask for a certified translation of a transcript. A credential evaluator may ask for the original record plus an English translation. A licensing board may ask for a translation before it reviews education history. In each case, Corpus can translate the document, but the recipient decides its own review process.
If you are unsure whether the recipient needs translation, evaluation, or both, ask the recipient before ordering. Then send Corpus the documents and instructions through Request a quote if the file set is complex.
