Before you order

What are the WES translation requirements?

If WES requests a translation, it must be complete, word-for-word, legible and prepared by a professional translator. WES U.S. uses English; WES Canada accepts English or French. Check your WES account before ordering.

Two separate submission routes

How do you submit a translation to WES?

Upload the translation through your WES account when requested. Arrange official academic records through the sender route in your Required Documents list.

  1. 1

    Check your WES account

    Use the Required Documents list for your country and credential. Confirm which pages need translation, the report type and your WES reference number.

  2. 2

    Arrange the official records

    Ask your institution to follow the sender route in your account. Give the translator access to the same official records. A translation upload does not replace this step.

  3. 3

    Order and review the translation

    Send all requested pages, including backs with text, seals or grading keys. Check names, dates, page coverage and document numbers when your certified PDFs arrive.

  4. 4

    Upload when WES requests it

    In your WES account, upload PDF or JPEG files of 10 MB or less, without password protection. Preview every file before submitting; submitted uploads cannot be deleted.

What changes for documents from India?

WES lists institution-issued consolidated transcripts or yearly marksheets, with sealed or approved electronic delivery. Its India guidance also describes NSDC and Qualification Check routes. Use the route assigned to your application.

Translation timing and WES timing are separate

Our standard delivery covers most 1–3 page orders within 24 hours. WES verifies the required records before evaluation begins. Its timeline varies by report and case complexity.

See current WES processing times

Before you submit

What should you check in your translation?

Compare the translated set with the official records and your WES account instructions. Check these four details before uploading.

  • Every requested page

    Use your account’s list. A diploma, transcript, marksheets and supplement may be separate documents.

  • Original grades and credits

    Keep the issued scale and course order. WES performs equivalency, credit and GPA calculations.

  • Seals, notes and reverse sides

    Include grading keys, registrar notes and text on the back. Flag anything unreadable before translation.

  • The correct sender route

    Check who sends each original record. Uploading a translation does not satisfy an institution’s delivery requirement.

Let WES assess it.

WES translation questions

Answers before you order

Does WES accept certified translations?
WES requires a professional, complete translation when your account requests one. CertTranslate includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy with its English translations. WES makes the final acceptance decision. See the WES translation guidance.
Do I need a translation for WES U.S. or WES Canada?
Follow the Required Documents list in your WES account. U.S. evaluations use English; Canadian evaluations accept English or French. Our service on this page translates into English. Do not order a translation solely because a document was issued abroad.
Can I translate my own documents for WES?
WES does not accept applicant-completed or handwritten translations. Use a professional translator with access to your official documents. See the WES translation guidance.
Does WES require notarization or a sealed translation?
WES’s general translation guidance does not require notarization or a sealed envelope for translations. Add notarization or mailing only if your specific instructions or another recipient requests it. Official academic records have their own sender rules. See the WES translation guidance.
How much does certified translation for WES cost?
CertTranslate charges $24.95 per physical source page, with no word cap. Two pages cost $49.90; four cost $99.80. Signed certification, standard PDF delivery and translation-related corrections are included. WES evaluation fees and optional add-ons are separate.
How long does a WES translation take?
Most 1–3 page CertTranslate orders arrive within 24 hours. Larger or hard-to-read records may need more time; we confirm timing after checking your files. WES’s verification and evaluation timelines are separate. Check WES processing times for your report.
Do I need both my diploma and transcript translated?
Translate the documents requested in your WES account. The set depends on your country and credential, and may include a diploma, transcript, marksheets or supplement. Send complete pages to your translator, including any relevant reverse-side text.
Can CertTranslate send my university records to WES?
CertTranslate delivers your English translation and signed certification. Your institution or the sender named by WES must handle official academic records through the required route. We do not issue academic records or perform credential evaluations.
What if WES flags my translation?
Send us the notice and the relevant files. For a translation-related rejection, we revise free; if it is still rejected, we refund the translation cost in full. The policy excludes problems with the underlying documents and consequential costs. See our acceptance guarantee.
