Requirements
What reviewers require for a certified diploma translation
- USCIS requires a full English translation of the entire diploma, which the translator certifies as complete and accurate, together with the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)).
- The degree title must be rendered literally in English, not converted into a claimed US equivalent; equivalency determination is the role of a credential evaluator, and a translation that asserts an equivalent degree can conflict with the evaluation.
- The holder's name and all dates must be copied exactly as they appear on the diploma, with name transliteration kept consistent with the passport spelling used elsewhere in the same filing.
- Portions of the diploma that cannot be read (worn seals, faded ink) are marked as illegible in the translation rather than guessed; this is standard professional practice for certified translations.
Common reasons translations get rejected
- The translation is submitted without the translator's signed certification of completeness, accuracy, and competence, which fails the 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requirement and is a common trigger for a USCIS Request for Evidence.
- Only the main text is translated while seals, stamps, Latin phrases, or the reverse side are omitted, so the translation is not complete and can be rejected as a partial or summary translation.
- The translator converts the degree title into a US equivalent (for example rendering a foreign first degree as a specific US degree), which conflicts with the credential evaluator's findings and undermines the file.
- The name spelling on the translation does not match the passport or the petition, creating an identity inconsistency across the filing.
- An English-language diploma version issued by the school is submitted to WES in place of an independent translation; WES states it cannot accept English versions of documents in place of a translation.
Good to know
About Turkish-language diplomas
Turkish university diplomas are issued by individual universities under the oversight of the Council of Higher Education (Yükseköğretim Kurulu, YÖK); high school diplomas (Lise Diploması) fall under the Ministry of National Education (Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı, MEB). Graduates commonly hold a Geçici Mezuniyet Belgesi (provisional graduation certificate) before the formal diploma is printed, and e-Devlet can generate a verifiable graduation record (mezuniyet belgesi). Translators render institution names and degree titles (önlisans, lisans, yüksek lisans, doktora) precisely because US evaluators map them to associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels.
Turkey's civil registry is centralized under the General Directorate of Civil Registration and Citizenship Affairs (Nüfus ve Vatandaşlık İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü, NVİ) within the Ministry of Interior (İçişleri Bakanlığı). Records live in the central MERNİS database (Merkezî Nüfus İdare Sistemi) and extracts are issued by district civil registry offices (ilçe nüfus müdürlüğü). The English agency name is confirmed on the US State Department reciprocity page for Turkey.
The standard Turkish vital-record document is the Nüfus Kayıt Örneği (civil registry extract), issued by the General Directorate of Civil Registration and Citizenship Affairs, through the e-Devlet portal (turkiye.gov.tr), and by Turkish embassies and consulates abroad. Registry-office copies bear a red Government of Türkiye seal at the bottom right and two signatures (preparer and approver), and are formatted as a chart printed landscape on A4 paper listing the holder and family members in columns. A more detailed version showing all recorded family events is the Vukuatlı Nüfus Kayıt Örneği.

Questions
Common questions
- Is Eagle Translate ATA certified?
- Eagle Translate is an ATA Corporate Member. USCIS does not require ATA certification of translators; it requires the translator's certification of completeness, accuracy, and competence, which every certified order includes together with a QR verification page.
- How fast will I receive the certified translation of my diploma?
- Certified delivery is 2 to 3 business days. You receive the translation with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy from the qualified professional translator and a QR verification page.
- Does USCIS require my diploma to be translated by a certified translator?
- No individual certification credential is required. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), USCIS requires a full English translation with the translator's signed certification that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate. Every Eagle Translate certified order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy carrying the name and signature of the qualified professional translator.
- Will you translate my degree title into its US equivalent?
- No. A certified translation renders the degree title word for word. Deciding what your degree equals in the US system is the job of a credential evaluator such as WES or ECE, and a translation that asserts an equivalent degree can conflict with that evaluation.
- My diploma was issued in Turkey. What should I know before ordering?
- Turkish university diplomas are issued by individual universities under the oversight of the Council of Higher Education (Yükseköğretim Kurulu, YÖK); high school diplomas (Lise Diploması) fall under the Ministry of National Education (Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı, MEB). Graduates commonly hold a Geçici Mezuniyet Belgesi (provisional graduation certificate) before the formal diploma is printed, and e-Devlet can generate a verifiable graduation record (mezuniyet belgesi). Translators render institution names and degree titles (önlisans, lisans, yüksek lisans, doktora) precisely because US evaluators map them to associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels.
