U.S. colleges and universities require certified translations of foreign academic records for admissions. We deliver translations accepted by Common App, university admissions offices, and international offices.
Certified Translation for College and University Admissions
U.S. colleges and universities require certified English translations of foreign academic transcripts, diplomas, and supporting documents submitted with admissions applications. Whether you are applying to an undergraduate program, a graduate school, or an MBA program, official certified translations are a standard requirement for international students. Official Translations provides university-accepted certified translations for all academic documents. Order your college admissions translations today.
Many universities require that certified translations be accompanied by official evaluations from NACES member organizations. We work alongside evaluation services like WES, ECE, and IERF — our certified translations are submitted with your credentials for evaluation. For transcript evaluation specifically, see our transcript evaluation translation page. For scholarship applications, see our scholarship translation page. If you are also applying for a student visa, see our student visa translation page.
We translate transcripts, diplomas, certificates of graduation, exam results (IB, A-Level, Abitur, Baccalauréat), and academic reference letters from all countries. Turnaround is 24 hours. Get a free quote.
