How to Translate Academic Certificates for Use Abroad – A Complete Guide
Planning to study, work, or migrate abroad? One of the first things authorities will ask for is an official translation of your academic certificates.
Whether you’re submitting to a university, embassy, immigration office, or employer, the translation must be accurate, official, and often certified. This guide walks you through the process, common requirements, and how COT Translation Services makes it simple and stress-free.
Which Certificates Need Translation?
You may need to translate any of the following:
High school diplomas.
University degrees (BA, MA, PhD).
Academic transcripts / grade sheets.
Enrollment or graduation certificates.
Equivalency certificates.
Language proficiency results (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL). Always check the exact name of the document requested by the institution or embassy.
When Is Certified Translation Required?
Translation is mandatory if the institution you’re applying to does not operate in Arabic or English, or requests official translated documents.
Certified translations are usually required by:
Foreign universities and colleges.
Embassies and consulates (for visa/study purposes).
Employers abroad (especially in regulated industries).
Immigration authorities.
Ministries of Education or NARIC offices.
What Is a Certified Translation?
A certified translation is a document translated by a licensed translation office and includes:
The translator’s declaration of accuracy.
Official letterhead and stamp.
Contact details of the translation office.
Matching formatting to the original.
Some embassies (e.g., Germany, Italy, Spain, France) require certified translations issued in Egypt, not abroad.
What Do You Need to Provide?
To translate your academic certificate:
- A clear PDF or scanned copy of the original.
- Any previous translations (if available) for reference.
