Diploma and Degree Certificate Translation to English
A diploma translation reproduces the complete readable content of an academic qualification in the required language so the receiving organisation can understand and compare it with the source document.
For formal use, the translation can be supplied with a signed certification statement confirming that it is a true and complete rendering of the source document to the best of the translator's knowledge.
Depending on the application, you may need only the diploma or degree certificate, or you may also need a transcript, mark sheet or another supporting academic record.

Send a clear scan, PDF or photograph of the complete diploma or degree certificate. We review the language pair, intended use and certification requirement, then confirm the price and available turnaround before work starts.

Diploma and Degree Certificate Translation FAQs
Answers to common questions about certification, diplomas, degree certificates, transcripts, pricing and delivery.
Do I need a certified diploma translation in the UK?
A certified translation is often requested when a diploma issued in another language is submitted to a UK university, employer, professional body, qualification assessment service or government authority. Check the receiving organisation's current instructions before submission.
Can you translate my diploma into English?
Yes. Send a complete readable scan or photograph and state where the translation will be submitted. The available turnaround, certification format and price can then be confirmed before work begins.
Can I translate my own diploma?
A self-translation may not meet the requirements of an official submission because the receiving organisation may require an independent translation accompanied by a signed certification statement. Follow the recipient's instructions.
Should I translate my transcript as well as my diploma?
A diploma normally confirms the qualification awarded, whereas a transcript provides subjects, modules, grades, credits and study history. The receiving organisation determines whether one or both documents are required.
What is included in a certified diploma translation?
The pack includes the agreed translation of the visible document content and a signed certification statement. Relevant identifying details, signature and date are included and the document is formatted for clear comparison with the source.
What must a certified translation include?
Requirements vary, but certification commonly includes the complete translated text, an accuracy statement, identifying or contact details, a signature and the certification date. The receiving organisation's exact requirements should take priority.
Can I send a phone photo instead of a scanned PDF?
A clear, well-lit phone photograph is normally suitable for an initial review. Keep the whole document visible, including edges, stamps and seals. A clearer file can be requested if any section cannot be read reliably.
How much does diploma translation cost?
Standard certified translation is currently published from £40 per page. The final cost depends on factors such as language pair, number of pages, amount of text, complexity, turnaround and delivery requirements. Multi-page academic bundles may be quoted as a complete project.
How long does a diploma translation take?
The published standard option is two days, with 24-hour, 12-hour and two-hour services available for suitable documents. The actual delivery time is confirmed after the complete file and language pair have been reviewed.
Is notarisation or legalisation always required?
No. Some organisations ask only for a certified translation, while others may require notarisation, sworn translation, an apostille or another legalisation step. Use the wording provided by the organisation receiving the document.
Are my academic documents handled confidentially?
Documents are handled for the purpose of quoting, translating, reviewing and delivering the project and are shared only with the linguists and reviewers required to complete the work.
