Your degree, arguing its case abroad.
A diploma earns nothing by itself in a new country — it has to be evaluated, admitted, or verified first. Each of those processes starts the same way: someone who cannot read the original needs a translation precise enough to act on.
Credential evaluators
WES, ECE, and their peers convert foreign degrees into US equivalencies — but only from certified translations. The evaluator decides what your degree equals; the translation’s job is to state exactly what it is.
Universities and admissions
Graduate programs verify the prior degree behind every application. A certified translation with the institution, program, and award date rendered precisely is what admissions files without follow-up.
Employers and HR
Degree verification is standard in professional hiring. A certified translation turns your diploma from a decorative page into a checkable credential.
USCIS and work visas
H-1B and employment-based petitions rest on degree evidence. Officers read the diploma translation against the evaluation and the petition, so all three have to tell one consistent story.
What gets translated
The credential, stated exactly.
Diplomas are short and ceremonial, which tempts translators into loose grandeur. The opposite is required: every element is a data point some reviewer will check.
Degree titles as awarded
Your degree rendered as your country names it — never inflated into a US equivalent, because equivalency is the evaluator’s ruling, not the translator’s.
Honors and classifications
Distinctions, class ranks, and honors systems translated with notes where the system itself needs explaining.
Institution names
The university as officially named, kept consistent with your transcript and evaluation paperwork.
Dates and diploma numbers
Award dates, registration numbers, and series identifiers carried across exactly — the fields verification actually uses.
Seals and signatures
University seals, rector and dean signatures, and any later authentication stamps described in place.
Format mirrored
The translation follows the diploma’s layout so a reviewer can hold the two side by side and match element to element.
Before you order
Diploma alone or with the transcript — evaluators want both.
The single most common surprise in credential evaluation: the diploma proves the degree exists, but the evaluation is built from the transcript. Sending one without the other usually means a second order later.
Diploma + transcript together
Evaluation-readyThe package WES-style course-by-course evaluations and most graduate admissions actually process. If an evaluation is anywhere in your plans, this is the order.
Diploma alone
Sometimes enoughFine when the receiver only verifies that the degree exists — some employers, some registries. Check what your receiver evaluates before scoping the order.
Unsure? Ask your evaluator which documents they require — their checklists are explicit, and we translate to match them.
How it works
Upload to evaluation-ready — usually overnight.
Photograph or scan it
Take a clear photo or scan of your diploma and upload it. The word count and the exact total show before you pay — no account needed.
A specialist linguist takes it
Your file goes to a native speaker who works with this document type every week and knows its stamps, layouts, and abbreviations on sight.
Reviewed, then certified
A second linguist checks names, dates, numbers, and layout against the original. Only then is the Certificate of Accuracy signed.
Delivered as one PDF
Translation, certificate, and a copy of the source in a single file — ready to attach to your filing or forward to whoever asked for it.
Pricing is by word count, and a diploma is a short document, so most orders stay at or near the starting price of $24.95. Adding the transcript prices by its actual length — the full total shows before you pay.

FAQ
The questions that actually come up.
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Will WES and other credential evaluators accept your translation?
Yes. Evaluators receive a complete certified translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, with the degree stated as awarded — which is precisely the separation they require between translation and evaluation. If your evaluator publishes format requirements, tell us and we match them.
02Can you translate my degree title as its American equivalent?
No, and you should be suspicious of anyone who will. A Licenciatura rendered as “Bachelor of Science” is a translator making an evaluator’s ruling. We translate the title as awarded, add a literal gloss where helpful, and let the evaluator issue the equivalency — that is the version reviewers trust.
03My name on the diploma differs from my passport spelling.
Routine with transliterated names. The diploma is translated as issued, and a translator’s note records the passport spelling alongside it so evaluators and admissions link the records to one person without a query.
04Do you also translate the diploma supplement or transcript?
Yes, and usually you should order them together — evaluations are built from the coursework record, not the diploma page. One linguist across both documents keeps course titles, the institution name, and your name rendered identically.
05How is the price calculated?
By word count. Upload the documents, we count the words, and the exact total shows before you pay — starting at $24.95. Diplomas are short; transcripts price by their real length, with no page-count games.
06Can I send a phone photo of the diploma?
Yes — flat, sharp, and complete, with the seal and signatures inside the frame. Diplomas are often large-format, so shoot straight-on to keep the edges from blurring; a legible seal is part of the document.
