U.S. pharmacies, healthcare providers, and customs require translations of foreign prescriptions and medication records. Our medical translators ensure accurate rendering of drug names and dosages.
Certified Translation of Foreign Prescriptions and Medication Records
Foreign prescriptions and medication records require certified English translation when presented to U.S. healthcare providers, pharmacies, and customs authorities. U.S. pharmacies cannot fill foreign prescriptions, but certified translations help your U.S. physician understand your treatment history and issue equivalent prescriptions. Official Translations provides accurate certified translations of prescriptions, using internationally standardized drug names (INN) and precise dosage language. Order your prescription translation.
Travelers with controlled substances prescribed abroad may need certified translations of their prescriptions for customs clearance. For medical record translations beyond prescriptions, see our medical records translation page. USCIS immigration medical examination translation needs are covered on our vaccination records translation and permanent residency translation pages.
We translate prescriptions, medication lists, treatment plans, and pharmacist instructions from all languages. Drug names are rendered using WHO International Nonproprietary Names (INN) for clarity. Turnaround is same-day for most prescription translations. Get a free quote.
