Academic Transcript Translation Services Singapore

Not by changing them, no. But the fix you actually need costs nothing extra. Most students in this position have a pass mark of sixty and a top band of eighty five, and the admissions officer has no idea because the scale sits on the reverse of the sheet. Translate that page and a 78 stops looking mediocre and starts looking strong. Send us the back of your transcript and the problem usually solves itself.

No, and please do not ask another company either. A certified translation is a complete copy, so a missing row is not an omission, it is a false document with a real signature on it. Universities verify transcripts with the issuing school more often than people think, and a mismatch found later ends far worse than a retaken module ever would. Almost nobody is refused over one resit. Plenty are refused over a doctored file.

Do not open it. Ask your university for a second unsealed copy, or an emailed PDF, and we work from that. The sealed envelope goes to the receiving institution untouched, with our translation travelling alongside it. Students break the seal every year thinking they are being efficient, and then have to request a fresh one from a registrar on the other side of the world. Ask us first, it takes one message.

No, and the two are often confused. An evaluation body compares your qualification to a local one and issues a report saying what it is worth. We are not that, and no translation company is. What those bodies do require is a word for word certified translation to work from, which is exactly what we produce. Order the translation here, send it to them, and you have done it in the right order.

They should match what your old university called them, translated plainly. Renaming a module to sound like one on their syllabus looks helpful and is actually a red flag, because the tutor comparing the two will notice the wording is suspiciously close. Their job is deciding whether your module counts. Ours is telling them accurately what it was. Keep those two jobs apart and your file reads honestly.

Per page for the translation, because the work really does scale with the number of rows. A back page carrying only the grading key is charged at a reduced rate rather than a full one, since there is far less on it. Send the scan and you get a page count and a total, not a range. Nothing is added later for tables, seals or footnotes.

Whatever your passport says, always. A Chinese, Korean or Tamil name can be written several defensible ways in English, and inventing a fresh one creates a second version of you across your application. Send the passport page with your transcript. We match the spelling to it and add a short note showing the original characters, so the two are visibly the same person.

One translation, five stamped sets. The translating happens once, so the extra copies cost a fraction of the first. Order them together in the same job. Students who come back in March for a sixth copy pay far more than students who guessed high in January. Most portals now accept a PDF anyway, in which case one set of paper is plenty and the rest is free to upload.

Old transcripts arrive here constantly and most are workable. Photograph it flat in daylight rather than under a lamp, and send the sharpest image you can manage. Where one mark genuinely cannot be read, we mark it unclear in a note instead of guessing, because a guessed grade is a false grade. If several rows are unreadable, it is worth asking your university for a reprint first, and we will say so.

Two documents, one order, and cheaper together than apart. The scroll is a single page of formal wording. The transcript is the long table. Sent as one job they come back matching, with your name, your university and your degree title worded identically on both. Sent separately by two different suppliers, small differences creep in and a reviewer notices them immediately.

For the upload, no. A stamped and signed PDF is what almost every portal wants now. Order one printed set anyway if you are likely to be asked for hard copies at enrolment, which many universities do once you accept an offer. If you are unsure, take the PDF now and the paper later. The printing costs very little compared with translating again.

Send the interim transcript now and the final one later. Most universities accept an in progress record for a conditional offer, and waiting can cost you the round entirely. When the final version arrives, we only charge for the rows that were added rather than starting again. Tell us at the start that a second version is coming, so the file is kept open for you.

Two people, the translator and the checker, and nobody else. Your file is never used as a sample, never shown to another client, and never run through a free online tool where the text could sit on somebody else's server. Ask in writing and we delete it after delivery, then confirm the date. Grades feel private and we treat them that way without being asked.

Usually yes for a certified PDF, since that is what the portal needs. A six page transcript can be split between two translators with one checker pulling it together. Message us on WhatsApp rather than emailing, so it is seen straight away. If a notary stamp is also required, tell us now, because that part depends on somebody else's diary and we will not promise what we cannot control.
