Dense grade tables plus the grading key and reverse-side legends push most university transcripts to several 250-word pages; multi-year records run longer. Certified translation is $24.95 per page, so a typical order of 2 to 6 pages comes to $49.90 to $149.70. The exact total is measured from your real document and shown before payment.

Requirements
What reviewers require for a certified academic transcript translation
- When filed with USCIS, the entire transcript must carry a full English translation certified by the translator as complete and accurate, plus the translator's certification of competence to translate from the source language into English (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)).
- Every course row, credit value, grade, and total must be translated with nothing omitted or summarized; a transcript translation that drops rows or condenses tables is not a complete translation.
- The grading scale, key, or legend, often printed on the reverse side, must be translated because evaluators and admissions offices rely on it to interpret the grades.
- Grades and GPA must not be converted into the US system in the translation; grade conversion is performed by the credential evaluator, not the translator.
- Registrar seals, stamps, signatures, and handwritten annotations must be rendered or described, and the student's name and all dates copied exactly as printed, consistent across all pages and with the matching diploma translation.
- Illegible entries (smudged stamps, faint handwriting) are marked as illegible in the translation rather than reconstructed.
Common reasons translations get rejected
- Pages or the reverse side with the grading legend are left out, making the translation incomplete; incompleteness is a standard basis for rejection by evaluators and for a USCIS Request for Evidence.
- The translator converts grades to a US GPA or letter grades, which conflicts with the credential evaluator's conversion and can cause the evaluation or the petition record to be questioned.
- Rows are dropped from long grade tables or credit totals no longer match the original, so the receiver cannot reconcile the translation against the source document.
- Course and institution names are rendered inconsistently across pages or differ from the diploma translation, creating apparent discrepancies in the file.
- The translation lacks the translator's signed certification of completeness, accuracy, and competence required by 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) for USCIS filings.
Good to know
About Dutch-language academic transcripts
The Dutch transcript is the cijferlijst (grade list) that accompanies a diploma. Grades are on a 1 to 10 scale where 5.5 or 6 passes and 9 and 10 are rarely given; Flemish university transcripts typically grade out of 20 with honors levels such as grote onderscheiding. A qualified professional translator renders the grades and honors exactly as printed without converting to a US scale, since conversion is the job of a credential evaluator.
In the Netherlands, civil status records (akten van de burgerlijke stand) are drawn up and held by the municipality (gemeente) where the event occurred. Copies and extracts of birth, adoption, marriage, divorce, death, and registered partnership certificates are requested from that municipality; adoption certificates are only available via the municipality of The Hague.
Dutch municipalities issue two forms of a civil status record: an afschrift (a full certified copy of the original act, including marginal annotations) and an uittreksel (an extract with the core personal data only). The two are distinct documents and translators name them differently.

Questions
Common questions
- Do universities want a certified or a notarized translation?
- US admissions offices generally ask for a certified translation, meaning one delivered with the translator's signed accuracy statement. Notarization is requested only occasionally; check your school's application instructions. Every certified order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy and a QR verification page.
- Can the course titles match my diploma translation?
- Yes, and they should. Consistent rendering of your name, the institution name, and degree and course titles across the transcript and diploma matters because receivers cross-check the documents against each other. Ordering both together keeps the terminology consistent.
- Will you convert my grades to a US GPA?
- No. A certified translation is a word-for-word rendering of your transcript, including the original grades and grading scale. Converting grades to the US system is the role of a credential evaluator such as WES; a translation that converts grades can conflict with the evaluation.
- Do I need every semester and every page translated?
- Yes. USCIS requires a full English translation certified as complete and accurate, and evaluators such as WES require exact word-for-word translations. Omitting pages, semesters, or the grading legend is a common reason transcript translations are rejected.
- My academic transcript was issued in Netherlands. What should I know before ordering?
- The Dutch transcript is the cijferlijst (grade list) that accompanies a diploma. Grades are on a 1 to 10 scale where 5.5 or 6 passes and 9 and 10 are rarely given; Flemish university transcripts typically grade out of 20 with honors levels such as grote onderscheiding. A qualified professional translator renders the grades and honors exactly as printed without converting to a US scale, since conversion is the job of a credential evaluator.
