Korean diploma translation produces a certified English version of 학위증명서 (degree certificates), 졸업증명서 (graduation certificates), and related academic credentials from South Korean universities, prepared for WES, ECE, and other credential evaluation agencies, U.S. university graduate admissions, professional licensing boards, and employer verification.
Most clients order Korean diploma translation for WES or ECE credential evaluation, U.S. university graduate admissions, professional licensing applications (engineering, nursing, teaching, CPA), employment verification, and immigration filings that require proof of educational qualifications.
The same translation is needed for state licensing boards that require foreign-degree verification, employers conducting background checks, and any proceeding where the level and field of a Korean academic credential must be established from the original Hangul-language document.
For Korean diploma translation, we map degree titles to their precise U.S. equivalencies, align Hangul romanization with passport spelling, distinguish between 대학교 and 전문대학 institution types, and coordinate names and degree details across multi-document credential evaluation packets so the English version supports clean WES, ECE, and licensing-board verification.
PDF, photo, or scan — any format works. Takes about 30 seconds.
A native-speaking Korean translator handles every word, stamp, and signature. Signed Certificate of Accuracy included — evaluator-ready format.
Review the completed translation before it is certified — unlimited free revisions until every detail is right. Final searchable PDF delivered typically within 24 hours.

“I needed my 학위증명서 translated for WES evaluation of my engineering degree. CertTranslate correctly rendered my 공학사학위 as "Bachelor of Engineering" and the major matched perfectly. WES completed the evaluation without any issues.”

“Translated my 석사학위 diploma and transcript together for graduate school admission. The name romanization was perfectly consistent across both documents and matched my passport. The admissions office had no questions.”

We don't have a published case on Korean diploma & transcript translation specifically — here are recent Korean translation cases on related documents.
A diploma itself is usually short, so a flat per-page rate and a capped provider often cost about the same. But the Korean transcripts you submit alongside it are word-dense — and that is where a 250-word page cap quietly adds pages. Move the sliders to see how density changes your total at our flat $24.95/page rate (no word cap).
Typical — most birth, marriage and death certificates
A capped provider counts a “page” as 250 words or less, so one dense physical page is billed as two. We bill the page you actually send.

Korean diploma translation requires rendering Korean degree titles accurately with their field-specific qualifiers, aligning Hangul names with passport romanization, handling Hanja characters, and distinguishing between different types of Korean higher-education institutions (전문대학, 대학교, 대학원) — combined challenges that require both Korean language expertise and academic-credential domain knowledge.
Korean diplomas record the graduate’s name in Hangul (한글) and sometimes in Hanja (한자), the degree title (학사/석사/박사/전문학사), the major (전공), the institution name, the graduation date, and the university president’s seal and signature. The English translation must render the degree title and its field-specific qualifier accurately, align the graduate’s name with passport romanization, and preserve all institutional references.
Your diploma is translated by a native Korean speaker who handles academic records daily, so degree-title renderings (학사학위 = Bachelor’s degree, 석사학위 = Master’s degree, 박사학위 = Doctoral degree), major-field terminology, and university-naming conventions are translated with the precision that WES and ECE evaluators expect.
If WES, ECE, or any receiving authority asks for a translation-only correction, we revise the file at no extra cost so the English version stays aligned with the original record.
Korean universities confer degrees with titles that don’t always translate literally: 학사학위 (Bachelor’s degree), 석사학위 (Master’s degree), 박사학위 (Doctoral degree), and 전문학사 (Associate’s degree from a 전문대학 junior college). Some degrees carry additional qualifiers: 공학사 (Bachelor of Engineering), 문학사 (Bachelor of Arts), 이학사 (Bachelor of Science), 법학사 (Bachelor of Laws).
A translator who renders 학사학위 as simply "bachelor" without the field-specific qualifier, or who confuses 전문학사 with 학사, misleads the evaluator before their assessment even starts. We render each degree title with its standard English name and field-specific designation — and leave the official U.S. equivalency determination to WES or ECE.
Korean diplomas display the graduate’s name in Hangul (한글) and sometimes in Hanja (한자). The English translation must render the name in the same romanization used on the graduate’s passport, which often differs from the Korean government’s Revised Romanization standard.
We align each name’s romanization with the passport spelling and note the Hangul original. This passport-matched approach prevents identity-consistency issues when credential evaluators or employers cross-reference the diploma translation with the applicant’s passport or other identification documents.
South Korea’s higher-education system includes several institution types: 대학교 (universities offering Bachelor’s through Doctoral degrees), 전문대학 (junior/vocational colleges offering 2–3 year 전문학사 Associate’s degrees), 대학원 (graduate schools), and 산업대학 (industrial universities). The institution type directly affects how WES and ECE evaluate the credential.
We render each institution’s name with its correct classification, distinguishing between 대학교 and 전문대학, and noting the institution type so evaluators can place the credential in the correct academic context.
A Korean diploma is typically submitted alongside transcripts (성적증명서), degree verification letters, and sometimes high-school graduation records for credential evaluation. The graduate’s name, degree title, major, and graduation date must be translated consistently across all documents.
We coordinate name spellings, degree titles, major-field names, and dates across the entire filing set when multiple documents are ordered together. This cross-document consistency prevents discrepancies that could delay WES or ECE evaluation timelines.
Korean diploma translation varies by the type of institution and the degree conferred. These sections cover the distinctions that matter for credential evaluation.
Diplomas from Korean universities (대학교) confer 학사학위 (Bachelor’s), 석사학위 (Master’s), or 박사학위 (Doctoral) degrees. The diploma typically includes the university name, the graduate’s full name in Hangul (and sometimes Hanja), the degree title with field qualifier, the major (전공), the graduation date, and the university president’s seal (인) and signature.
These are the most commonly submitted Korean diplomas for WES and ECE evaluation. We preserve every field including the university seal, degree title with field-specific qualifier, and the 교육부 (Ministry of Education) registration reference when present.
Diplomas from Korean junior colleges (전문대학) confer the 전문학사 (Associate’s) degree, typically after a 2–3 year program. These diplomas use a different degree title than university diplomas and are evaluated differently by WES and ECE. The institution type is a critical distinction for accurate credential assessment.
We clearly render the 전문학사 degree as "Associate’s degree" and identify the institution as a junior college in the translation, so evaluators can accurately assess the credential’s academic level without confusion with a university-level Bachelor’s degree.

Korean diploma translation costs $24.95 per page. Most clients pay $24.95. A standard one-page diploma is $24.95. You receive the confirmed page count before payment, and there is no language surcharge for korean.
Most diploma orders are delivered within 24 hours once we receive clear scans. Standard diplomas are typically delivered within 24 hours.
Yes. This service is built for WES, ECE, and other credential evaluation agencies, as well as universities, licensing boards, and employers that need a complete certified English translation of a Korean diploma. Our package includes the full English translation plus a signed Certificate of Accuracy, which is the format most receiving authorities expect for foreign-language records.
We handle diplomas from all South Korean universities (대학교), junior colleges (전문대학), graduate schools (대학원), and other higher-education institutions recognized by the 교육부 (Ministry of Education). If your record uses a rare regional format, upload every page so the translator can match the exact issuing-country structure before production starts.
We can usually translate diplomas with ornamental fonts, embossed seals, and older printing if the scan is usable. If a degree title, name, or university seal is too weak to read safely, we ask for a better image before we certify the file. When a field is genuinely unreadable, we mark it transparently instead of guessing, which is safer than inventing a name, date, or registry number.
Yes — you receive the completed translation for review before we certify it, and we make unlimited free revisions until every name, date, and detail is right. If WES or another credential evaluator later requests a change, we correct the certified file at no charge.
No — we bill the physical page you upload, never a word count. Many services cap a "page" at 250 words and re-bill a dense diploma as two or three pages; here one page of your document is one $24.95 page, however dense the text.
Yes. We map each Korean degree title to its precise U.S. equivalency: 학사학위 as Bachelor’s degree, 석사학위 as Master’s degree, 박사학위 as Doctoral degree, and 전문학사 as Associate’s degree. We also include the field-specific qualifier (공학사, 문학사, 이학사, etc.) to provide complete degree-title accuracy for WES and ECE evaluators.
Yes, and we recommend it. Ordering your diploma (학위증명서) and transcript (성적증명서) together ensures consistent name romanization, degree titles, and major-field terminology across both documents. WES reviews documents as a set, so cross-document consistency helps prevent evaluation delays.
Most evaluation delays trace back to a few issues. These are what we check on every Korean diploma.
01Name romanization differs from the passport
Korean names have several valid spellings (박 → Park/Pak/Bak). We match the passport and flag discrepancies.
02전문학사 (associate) confused with 학사 (bachelor)
We render the exact degree and its institution type, since a junior-college 전문학사 is evaluated differently from a 학사.
03Field qualifier dropped from the degree title
We keep 공학사/문학사/이학사 etc. rather than a bare “bachelor”, so the evaluator applies the right equivalency.
04Hanja name notation dropped
We preserve Hanja alongside Hangul, since it can disambiguate a name across the packet.
Patterns drawn from real Korean credential casework. Unreadable fields are marked transparently, never guessed.
Every order is checked against this list before certification — and covered by the revise-free-or-refund guarantee.
Start my translationKorean degree titles carry field-specific qualifiers and depend on the institution type. We translate the exact title and describe its level and length; the official U.S. equivalency is the evaluator’s call.
| Original degree | Level | Typical duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 학사 (haksa) | Bachelor-level | 4 years | From a 대학교 (university). Field qualifiers: 공학사 (Eng.), 문학사 (Arts), 이학사 (Sci.), 법학사 (Laws). |
| 전문학사 (jeonmun-haksa) | Associate-level | 2–3 years | From a 전문대학 (junior/vocational college); distinct from 학사. |
| 석사 (seoksa) | Master-level | 2 years | Graduate degree from a 대학원. |
| 박사 (baksa) | Doctoral-level | 3+ years | Highest academic degree. |
Levels/durations describe the credential’s structure; the official U.S. equivalency is determined by the evaluator (WES, ECE, etc.), not the translator. Institution type (대학교 vs 전문대학) affects the assessment.

For your filing
Upload a clear scan of the full diploma page, including the university seal (인), the president’s signature, and any supplementary pages or degree verification letters. Ornamental borders and embossed seals should be visible in the scan.
If your credential evaluation also requires a transcript (성적증명서), ordering both together helps keep degree titles, major-field names, romanization, and institutional references consistent across the translated set.
