Certified diploma translations for USCIS and schools

Certified diploma translations are required when a diploma is not in English and must be submitted for official use. Grounding material lists certified translations as commonly required for USCIS immigration filings, universities and academic admissions, courts and legal matters, employers and licensing boards, and government agencies.

For USCIS, the standard is a USCIS-certified translation: all foreign-language documents must be accompanied by a complete translation into English plus certification from the translator indicating the translation is complete and accurate and attesting to competence as a translator.

Diploma translation: what is translated

A diploma translation is a literal, word-for-word translation of all visible text, without alterations, omissions, or interpretation:

Turbo Translate states its translators are fluent in source and target languages and translate verbatim, and that it exclusively uses professional human translators.

Academic transcript translation: courses, grades, and seals

Academic transcript translation covers the full academic record submitted to USCIS, universities, or licensing boards:

The certified-translation page specifically lists academic transcript translation for USCIS among common USCIS documents, alongside birth certificate, marriage certificate, and passport translation. USCIS Translations guidance also lists diplomas among documents requiring certified translation from a foreign language into English.

Diploma translate requests: machine output is not sufficient

To diploma translate for USCIS or a school means to produce a certified human translation, not machine output alone. USCIS requires a complete English translation plus a certification statement of completeness, accuracy, and translator competence, which translation software does not provide.

Turbo Translate provides human translation by a team described as over 100 professional translators, followed by internal quality-assurance review, with support for translation across more than 55 languages.
