Diploma & Transcript Translation
Applying to a U.S. school, getting your degree evaluated, seeking a professional license or filing an employment-based immigration case usually means submitting your academic records in English. SurePage Translations prepares complete, certified English translations of Spanish-language diplomas, transcripts and professional titles, signed by a qualified human translator.
Academic documents we translate
- University degrees and diplomas (títulos, diplomas)
- Academic transcripts and grade records (certificados de estudios, kárdex, historial académico)
- Professional titles and licenses (título profesional, cédula profesional)
- High-school certificates (bachillerato, preparatoria)
- Course descriptions, syllabi and letters from schools
- Certificates of completion, social-service and internship records
Why academic translations need precision
Evaluators compare your translated records with the originals line by line. Small inconsistencies can slow things down. Our translators:
- Translate course titles faithfully rather than "upgrading" them to a U.S. equivalent. Deciding equivalence is the evaluator's job.
- Keep grades, scales, credit hours and dates exactly as in the original, including the grading scale if it's printed on the document.
- Keep the names of institutions in their original form, with a translation where helpful.
- Translate stamps, seals, signatures, registration numbers and notes on the back.
- Format long transcripts as clear tables that follow the original's order.
What's included
- A complete English translation that follows the layout of the original.
- A signed translator certification stating that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from Spanish into English, naming the document translated.
- A secure PDF by email and in your account, with printed copies by mail if your evaluator or school needs paper.
- Free corrections for 30 days after delivery.
Check your evaluator's rules first
Credential evaluation services, universities and licensing boards each set their own translation requirements, and they differ. Some accept translations from a qualified translator; some require translations issued by the school itself, or ask you to send documents directly from your institution; some require a specific format or sealed envelopes. Before you order, check the instructions from the organization that will review your documents, such as your credential evaluator or licensing board, and follow them. We're happy to add any formatting notes they require to your order. We can't guarantee that any school, evaluator or board will accept a translation; that decision is always theirs.

Frequently asked questions
Will you convert my grades to the U.S. scale?
No. We translate grades exactly as they appear. Converting grades is the role of your credential evaluator or school.
Do you translate course names into their U.S. equivalents?
We translate course names faithfully into English. We don't substitute a U.S. course title, because that's an equivalence judgment the evaluator makes.
My evaluator wants documents sent directly from my university. Can a translation replace that?
No. A translation doesn't replace a requirement that the institution send records directly. Follow your evaluator's instructions; you may still need a certified translation to go with them.
Can you translate a cédula profesional?
Yes, including the registration details and any QR or verification code text.
