What we cover

Qualifications and Award Certificates for Translation

Award records differ by institution and country. They may be called a degree certificate, diploma, graduation certificate or an official award notice. The translation must preserve what the issuing institution actually states, rather than infer a UK qualification level.

Bachelor’s Degree Certificates

First-degree awards showing the holder’s name, degree title, award date and issuing institution.

Master’s and Postgraduate Awards

Postgraduate degree certificates, postgraduate diplomas and related academic award documents.

Doctoral Certificates

Doctoral and research-degree award documents, where the official terminology and issuing institution must be retained.

Professional Diplomas

Diploma or certificate awards submitted to employers, professional regulators or recognition bodies.

Replacement or Duplicate Certificates

Officially issued replacement academic awards, including any special annotations or duplicate markings.

International Graduation Documents

Foreign-language graduation confirmations, award notices and other official evidence of a qualification.

Who the service is for

Degree Certificate Translation for Jobs, Registration and Recognition

Employers, admissions teams, professional bodies and UK ENIC may request a translated qualification document. Their requirements vary, and translated award wording does not establish UK equivalence, professional licensing or recognition. If the receiving body also requests module grades or credits, an academic transcript is a separate document that should be translated in its own right.

Avoid unnecessary services

Degree Certificate vs Academic Transcript: Choose the Right Document

A degree certificate normally records the award achieved and the awarding institution. A transcript records courses, grades and credits. One cannot be treated as a substitute for the other simply because both are academic documents. Order only the documents the receiving authority asks for, and use the separate transcript service if your module-by-module grades also require translation.

Check the receiving organisation’s rules. The recipient or appointment organiser sets its own requirements. Our translation or interpreting service cannot guarantee a particular authority’s acceptance or decision.

Quote and delivery

Degree Certificate Translation Cost and Delivery

A single printed certificate is commonly simpler to scope than an extended award record with handwritten text or annotations. The quote depends on language, legibility, certification, format and deadline, which we confirm after checking the actual source.

Length and Layout

Some diplomas have a compact face; others include reverse-side notes, endorsements or accompanying documents.

Award Terminology

Qualification names, issuing institutions, grading classifications and award dates must be represented accurately.

Certification and Timing

State whether your recipient needs an electronic certified copy, printed copy or additional formalities.

FAQs

Certified Degree Certificate Translation Services UK – Questions Answered

These answers explain the ordering process; check current requirements directly with your receiving institution or appointment organiser.

Can you translate a foreign degree certificate into English?

Yes. Send the complete certificate and the receiving institution’s instructions so the translation can be scoped and quoted.

Is a degree certificate translation the same as a transcript translation?

No. The certificate confirms an award, while the transcript records modules, grades and credits. The recipient may request one or both.

Can I use a translation for UK ENIC?

A translation may be part of the documentation requested, but UK ENIC determines its own requirements and performs any recognition or comparability assessment.

Can you certify a university diploma translation?

You can request a signed certified translation where appropriate. Confirm the exact declaration or format required by the receiving organisation.

Will you alter the degree title to its closest UK equivalent?

No. The translation should convey the official award wording faithfully; equivalence decisions belong to the competent evaluating body.

Can you deliver printed certificate translations?

Please specify whether a printed copy is required. We will confirm available formats, delivery timing and any additional charges.
