Which language is the vaccination record in?

Each pair below is its own page, covering that country’s card formats, clinic stamps, and digital reprints. Same $24.95 flat page rate on all of them.

Real immunization casework

Dose tables read the way a reviewing doctor reads them

Three anonymized orders. Each one turns on something a card does that a reviewer has to be able to follow: no stamp, an issuer that reads like a person, and handwriting at its limit.

Redacted municipal vaccination-system printout listing dose rows with dates and no stamp

System printout

The clinic answered with a screen print, not a booklet

We rebuilt the dose table exactly as the system produced it and described the stampless format, so the doctor could credit each row instead of questioning the page.

Read the case
Redacted government immunization record whose issuing clinic carries a historical personal name

Issuer identity

The issuing clinic carried a personal name

We identified the issuer as an institution and rendered its name that way, keeping the immunization entries aligned with the card’s own bilingual layout.

Read the case
Redacted handwritten medical record with partly legible clinician handwriting

Illegible handling

Part of the clinician’s hand could not be read

We translated every legible line and marked the rest as illegible rather than guessing, so the reviewer knew precisely what the source supports.

How it works

How to get a vaccination record translated, step by step

Upload once. We check the files and confirm the total before payment. Then our team translates, reviews, and certifies the complete package to the AcceptReady™ standard we publish.

  1. 01

    Upload the full document set

    Send every page carrying an entry, both sides of a card, each booklet spread, and any printout the clinic gave you. Blank pages cost nothing, and a missing spread is what usually delays an appointment.

    Files checked · total confirmed before payment
  2. 02

    We translate and cross-check

    A translator rebuilds the table row by row. A second reviewer checks each vaccine name against the schedule it belongs to, every date, and the patient name as spelled in your other documents.

A note on “100% acceptance”

If a service promises “100% acceptance,” be careful — no one controls USCIS’s decision. What actually protects you is the written remedy: we revise free, or refund in full.

How much does a certified vaccination record translation cost?+

A certified vaccination record translation costs $24.95 per physical page. A single card is $24.95 and a two-sided card is $49.90. There is no word cap, and we confirm the page count and total before you pay.

How long does a vaccination record translation take?+

A one- or two-page card is usually delivered within 24 hours of a clear upload. Booklets with many filled spreads or faded handwriting take longer, and we name the window before work begins.

Will the doctor or school accept the translation?+

Examining physicians, school nurses, and USCIS all expect a complete translation of the whole record with a signed certification, and that is what we deliver alongside the source scan. If a receiving authority rejects the translation for a translation-related reason, we revise it free. If it is still rejected, we refund the translation cost.

What languages do you translate vaccination records from?+

We translate vaccination records from 65+ languages into English. The pairs with a dedicated page are listed above. If yours is not there, upload the document anyway — the rate and the process are the same.

Why do dose dates matter so much?+

A dose counts only when the written record shows when it was given. Entries that never carried a full date can send you back for a repeat dose or a blood test, so we reproduce each date exactly and flag the incomplete ones instead of tidying them.

The school and the medical exam asked for different things. Why?+

They work from different lists. A school checks the requirements its own state sets for enrollment, while the immigration medical exam follows the federal schedule. One translated record serves both, which is why we translate the whole card rather than selected rows.

My card uses brand names I do not recognize in English.+

That is normal, because manufacturers sell the same vaccine under different names by country. We give the recognized English name a reviewer can match to a schedule and keep the printed name beside it, so nothing is lost or invented.

Can you translate a WHO yellow card or a digital printout?+

Yes. Yellow cards, app exports, and clinic system printouts are all translated as issued. Where a record carries a verification code instead of a stamp, we preserve the code and describe the format in a translator’s note.

Do I need the translation notarized?+

For medical exams and most school filings, certification is what is asked for and notarization is not. Some programs abroad want both, and we add notarization for $19.95 per order without changing the translated text.

Is there a word cap on a page?+

No. A page is one physical page of the source document. Many services cap a page at 250 words and rebill a dense page as two or three; we bill the page you upload.

Can I review the translation before it is certified?+

Yes. You can read the finished translation and request unlimited free corrections before we certify it. If an authority later asks for a translation-related change, we correct the certified file at no charge.

Do you need the original booklet?+

No. A clear scan or phone photo of each filled page is enough, and the original stays with you — you will need it again at the appointment. Photograph each spread flat, with all four corners visible.

What can I check on my vaccination record translation before I send it?+

Four things, and you can check all four yourself. Compare any line of the original vaccination record with the translation, including the text inside stamps. Put the two documents side by side — same page count, same order, tables and stamps in the same places. Read the Certificate of Accuracy for the complete-and-accurate statement, the competence statement, the signature, date, and company stamp. Then confirm the wording matches what your receiving office publishes. Those four checks are the AcceptReady™ standard, and CertTranslate publishes it in full. Read the AcceptReady™ standard.

Most frequent problems we correct

What gets a translated immunization record questioned — and how we prevent it

These four recur in exam and enrollment files, both in records we translate and in translations families ask us to review.

01

A dose row is quietly completed to look finished

Our check: We reproduce what the record actually shows and mark an incomplete entry as incomplete, because a reviewer treats an invented date as a reason to repeat the dose.

02

A vaccine is renamed into something no schedule lists

Our check: We give the name a reviewer can match and keep the printed one beside it, so a local brand never turns into a vaccine that does not exist.

03

Only the pages the family thinks matter are sent

Our check: We ask for every filled spread and both sides of each card, since a booster recorded years later usually sits on a page nobody expected to need.

04

The patient name does not match the rest of the packet

Our check: Before we certify, we cross-check the name on the record against the passport spelling used across your filing.

The standard behind these checks

AcceptReady™ is CertTranslate's published standard for certified translations: complete word-for-word translation, mirrored page layout, signed and stamped Certificate of Accuracy on letterhead, and matched to the receiver's published requirements.

How to check each one yourself

Checked before certification. If an authority later requests a translation-related correction, revisions remain free.

Common filing contexts

When you need a certified vaccination record translation

A vaccination record answers one narrow question — which doses, and when — but three different readers ask it: the physician completing the immigration medical exam, a school or university health office, and a new treating clinician.

The key is consistency: the name should match the passport used across your filing, and every page carrying an entry should be in the set you send.

I-693

Immigration medical exam

The examining physician credits prior doses from written records, and bringing them in English is the applicant’s responsibility.

Schools

K-12 enrollment

A district nurse checks the dose history line by line against the state’s own requirements before clearing a student.

Campus

University health clearance

Universities set their own pre-registration immunization requirements and ask for documentation in English.

Care

Clinics and travel programs

A new physician or a program abroad reads the record to decide what is due and what is already covered.

Document glossary

Vaccination record terms, defined

The parts of an immunization record that decide how a certified translation is built, whatever language the original is in.

Certified translation
A certified translation is a complete English translation accompanied by the translator’s signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate.
Dose and booster
One administration of a vaccine, and a later reinforcing dose. Each is its own row with its own date, and neither is inferred from the other.
Immunization schedule
The age-based plan a country follows. It explains why a record from abroad lists doses in an order a U.S. reviewer may not expect.
Lot or batch number
The manufacturing identifier written beside a dose. It is data, not decoration, and is reproduced exactly where the record carries it.
Serology or titer
A blood test showing immunity. It can stand in for a dose that written records cannot prove, which is why lab pages are worth sending too.
WHO yellow card
The international certificate of vaccination, printed with multilingual headings and completed by hand at the clinic.
Certificate of Translation Accuracy
The signed and stamped statement on company letterhead that carries the translator’s name, credentials, contact details, and the date. It travels with the translation.
Apostille
An apostille authenticates the signature or seal on a document for use in another Hague Convention country. For a translation, it certifies the notarization — which is why our apostille add-on includes one.
Country-Specific Guidance

Vaccination record translation by country of origin

🇲🇽MexicoMXMexico issues its vaccination booklet in five age-group versions, and the dose schedule inside is stamped by the clinic at each visit.

Mexico issues its vaccination booklet in five age-group versions, and the dose schedule inside is stamped by the clinic at each visit.

Since 2026 the booklet can also be reprinted digitally. Such a record arrives as a printout carrying a folio and verification data instead of a wet stamp.

Older childhood doses are usually handwritten across several visits, sometimes by different clinics with different hands.

We translate each row as recorded and describe the stamps, so a reviewing physician can credit the doses without holding the original.

Spanish medical records translation
🇧🇷BrazilBRBrazilian vaccine history splits by era: the paper card for older doses, the federal health app for recent ones, and municipal systems in between.

Brazilian vaccine history splits by era: the paper card for older doses, the federal health app for recent ones, and municipal systems in between.

Clinics print legacy doses as system reports carrying no stamp and no signature. That is normal for the format, and worth explaining to a reviewer.

Local dose tables use national-programme shorthand, not the vaccine names a U.S. schedule lists. Each entry is carried over deliberately rather than transliterated.

A translator’s note describes the printout format, so a stampless record reads as a system export rather than an incomplete document.

Portuguese medical records translation
🇷🇺RussiaRURussia keeps vaccination history in two places: a personal certificate that travels with the patient, and a clinic card that stays filed at the polyclinic.

Russia keeps vaccination history in two places: a personal certificate that travels with the patient, and a clinic card that stays filed at the polyclinic.

Both carry the same doses, so when the booklet stayed behind, a clinic-issued extract is what families abroad actually hold.

Dates are written day first, and the translation labels that order once so an early-month date is not read as a different month.

Soviet-era pages arrive handwritten and stamped, sometimes with several seals crowding a single row of the table.

Russian medical records translation
🇨🇳ChinaCNChina issues a vaccination booklet within a month of birth, and national law requires schools and kindergartens to check it at enrollment.

China issues a vaccination booklet within a month of birth, and national law requires schools and kindergartens to check it at enrollment.

Every entry records the vaccine, the batch number, the date, and the unit that gave it. Those batch digits are data, not clutter.

Hong Kong records are printed bilingually, which tempts filers to submit them untranslated while the handwritten entries remain in Chinese.

We reproduce each identifier exactly, because a reviewer comparing a booklet against a clinic letter matches on those numbers.

Chinese medical records translation
🇺🇦UkraineUAThe Ukrainian immunization card is kept by the clinic rather than the family, which separated many households from their records after 2022.

The Ukrainian immunization card is kept by the clinic rather than the family, which separated many households from their records after 2022.

A family doctor can issue a vaccination statement generated from that card and the national eHealth system, often signed electronically instead of stamped.

We preserve the electronic signature block and describe it, so a reviewer can see how a digitally issued record authenticates.

Older pages often mix languages: printed headings in one, handwritten dose entries in another. Both layers are translated in one certified file.

Ukrainian medical records translation
🇩🇪GermanyDEThe German vaccination booklet follows the WHO format, so its printed headings appear in three languages while the entries themselves stay handwritten German.

The German vaccination booklet follows the WHO format, so its printed headings appear in three languages while the entries themselves stay handwritten German.

National infection-protection law puts the date, the vaccine, the batch number, the disease, and the vaccinator into every single entry.

Trade names common in German-speaking practice are carried over to the names a U.S. schedule recognizes. The printed name stays beside them.

Because the headings are already multilingual, families often assume the record needs no translation — the substantive entries still do.

German medical records translation
🇸🇦Saudi ArabiaSASaudi official paperwork is dated by the Umm al-Qura Hijri calendar, so a dose may carry a Hijri date, a Gregorian one, or both.

Saudi official paperwork is dated by the Umm al-Qura Hijri calendar, so a dose may carry a Hijri date, a Gregorian one, or both.

Each date stays exactly as written and is labeled by calendar. A Gregorian equivalent goes into a note rather than replacing the original.

The health ministry issues child vaccination certificates through its national app, while doses from earlier years remain on paper cards.

Right-to-left tables are rebuilt so the reading order of each row survives, and clinic stamps are described rather than dropped.

Arabic medical records translation
🇪🇬EgyptEGEgyptian childhood records grow at the local health office, where newborn registration and the compulsory vaccination series share one administration.

Egyptian childhood records grow at the local health office, where newborn registration and the compulsory vaccination series share one administration.

The stamped vaccination certificate produced by that trail is the document U.S. schools and exam offices usually ask about.

National ID numbers on Egyptian paperwork encode birth data, so every digit is reproduced exactly rather than summarized.

Egypt is not a Hague Apostille Convention member, so authentication follows the consular legalization chain instead of an apostille.

Arabic medical records translation
A dose that loses its date stops being evidence. We reproduce every row as the clinic wrote it. Where an entry was never completed, we say so rather than tidy it into something a reviewer would trust.
