How to Get a Certified Translation for WES and Other Credential Evaluation Services in the USA
If you are planning to study, work, or get licensed in the United States, you will likely need a credential evaluation — the official process of assessing foreign diplomas and transcripts. Organizations such as WES, ECE, SpanTran, IERF, and others translate your academic history into a format that U.S. universities, employers, and government agencies can understand.
One critical step is that none of these organizations will accept a translation that is self-made or informal. Almost always, a certified translation with a signed translator’s statement is required, and sometimes a notarized certification is also needed. Mistakes in formatting or wording can lead to delays or rejection.
We prepare translations that fully meet the requirements of WES and all other major credential evaluation agencies in the USA, ensuring acceptance the first time.

Credential Evaluation Translation FAQ (2025–2026)
These questions address common reasons for rejections and delays in credential evaluation submissions. They focus on how evaluation agencies review translated academic documents, rather than on basic service or pricing questions.
Most rejections do not happen because of language errors. In practice, credential evaluation agencies reject translations due to incomplete academic records, missing grading scales, inconsistent formatting, or certification wording that does not clearly confirm completeness.
Yes. Credential evaluation agencies focus on academic structure, including full transcripts, credit hours, grading systems, and consistency across all pages. USCIS translations are reviewed under different criteria, and USCIS-style translations may not meet evaluation requirements.
Does notarization help prevent rejection?
Delays usually occur when transcripts are incomplete, supporting academic information is missing, or agency-specific formatting and certification requirements are not followed.
The most effective way is to prepare translations specifically for credential evaluation, ensuring full academic records, consistent formatting, and certification wording aligned with the evaluation agency’s requirements.
