If you are applying to a US school, credential evaluator or professional licensing board and need your academic documents translated, this page covers which documents we translate, what it costs, and how to order.
The school, evaluator or board you are applying to decides which documents it needs translated, so check its current list first. These are the academic documents we translate for each purpose.
Credential evaluators such as WES and ECE set their own translation requirements and update them, so check the current instructions of the evaluator you are using before you order. We translate the complete document and include a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
