An academic transcript provides a detailed record of your education, including the courses you completed, grades received, credits earned, and other information maintained by your educational institution.
If your transcript is written in a language other than the language required by the organization receiving it, you may need a complete certified translation.
MJC Translate provides professional academic transcript translations in 90+ source languages for USCIS, universities, credential evaluation services, employers, licensing authorities, and other official purposes.
When Do You Need an Academic Transcript Translation?
A translated academic transcript may be required when you need to submit your educational records to an organization that does not accept documents in their original language.
Common situations include:
U.S. immigration and USCIS applications
University and college admissions
Graduate and postgraduate applications
Credential evaluations
Employment applications
Professional licensing
Government procedures
International education programs
Academic Transcript Translation for USCIS
If you submit a foreign-language academic transcript as part of a USCIS application or petition, the document generally needs to be accompanied by a complete English translation.
USCIS requires foreign-language documents submitted with applications and petitions to be accompanied by a full English translation certified as complete and accurate, together with certification that the translator is competent to translate into English.
A certified translation should therefore include:
✓ A complete English translation of the document
✓ Certification of completeness and accuracy
✓ Certification of the translator's competence
✓ Translator identification and signature
✓ Date and contact information as applicable
USCIS generally does not require the translation to be notarized simply because it is a translation.
If another organization specifically requires notarization, that is a separate service that can be arranged when needed.
What Is Included in an Academic Transcript Translation?
An academic transcript is much more detailed than a diploma. It can contain information covering an entire period of study.
Depending on the original document, the translation may include:
Every meaningful element of the document should be accounted for in the translation.
This is particularly important for transcripts containing multiple pages or information presented in tables.

Transcript Translation vs. Credential Evaluation
MJC Translate provides the translation. If your institution or employer requires a credential evaluation, that evaluation must be obtained separately from an organization accepted by the receiving authority.
You may need both services for the same application.
These services are often confused, but they serve different purposes.
| Academic Transcript Translation | Credential Evaluation |
|---|---|
| Translates the information contained in your transcript | Evaluates your educational credentials |
| Communicates courses, grades, credits, and other information | Determines equivalency or comparability within another educational system |
| Performed by a professional translator | Performed by a credential evaluation organization |
