Poland · Numbers as words
A Polish record spelled its numbers out in words
We translated the written-out form and kept the digits beside it — the same discipline that protects written-out grades and hour totals on academic records.

Real Polish translation cases
Polish transcripts range from eight-section Suplement documents to hand-stamped Indeks booklets, with egzamin and zaliczenie results that must stay distinct. The precision this takes shows in every Polish record we publish — these real cases show the decisions involved.
Poland · Geographic precision
Łódzkie named a voivodeship, not a city
We rendered the adjective as the Łódź Voivodeship, keeping the region distinct from the town — the same precision that keeps a kierunek and a faculty name apart on a transcript.

“I submitted my old handwritten Indeks from Politechnika Warszawska from the 1990s. The translator managed to decipher the professors' handwriting and organized everything into clear tables with the original hours and grades. Excellent work for ECE.”

Translation and evaluation are different services
Do I need translation or credential evaluation?
Choose certified translation when you need an accurate English version. Choose credential evaluation when a school or agency asks how your studies compare with a U.S. degree. Many people need both.
What CertTranslate provides
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.
- Covers courses, grades, credits, legends, notes, seals, and signatures
- Keeps the source grading scale and school terms
- Makes the English version easy to compare with the source
We translate your record. We do not change the credential or calculate a new GPA.
What a credential evaluator provides
Credential evaluation
A credential evaluation shows how your studies compare with the U.S. system. WES, ECE, and similar agencies issue this report.
- Determines the U.S. equivalent of your credential
- May calculate or report a U.S.-style GPA
- Uses rules for your country, school, and program
CertTranslate does not issue evaluation reports. Check the file list from the school or agency handling your case.

Eras and formats
How do Polish transcripts differ by era?
Poland changed its academic record three times in living memory, so the era of your record decides its format. We follow the terms and scale printed on your record.
Suplement do dyplomu
Suplement do Dyplomu Translation
Also issued with: The Diploma Supplement is the standard record
- Typical scale
- 2.0–5.0
- Common pass mark
- 3.0 (dostateczny)
- Credit system
- Punkty ECTS · PRK levels
The Suplement runs 4–10 pages in eight numbered sections: the holder, the qualification, its PRK level, the full course-and-grade table with ECTS, and a description of the Polish system.
We translate the entire document and preserve the section numbering and tables — evaluators expect the supplement whole, not excerpted.
Wykaz ocen
Wykaz Ocen Translation
Also issued with: Also: karta przebiegu studiów
- Typical scale
- 2–5
- Course load
- Liczba godzin (hours)
- May show
- University letterhead formats
Transition-era records list subjects, hours, and grades on university letterhead, without ECTS credits or Bologna formatting, and vary heavily by institution.
We replicate each table structure and keep the semester-by-semester breakdown clear for the evaluator.
Indeks
Indeks Booklet Translation
Also issued with: The hand-signed student record book
- Format
- Bound booklet
- Entries
- Handwritten, stamped
- May show
- Dozens of signatures
For decades the official record was the Indeks — a booklet where professors hand-signed and stamped every grade, semester after semester.
We extract the subjects, grades, and hours into a clean English table and note the stamps and signatures. Faded handwriting gets a better-scan request, never a guess.
Issued somewhere else? Upload your transcript and we will identify the record type and grading system before you pay.

How much can a 250-word page cap add to a transcript price?
A 250-word cap can turn one dense transcript page into two or three billed pages. CertTranslate charges for the physical pages you upload, not the number of words on them.

A provider with a 250-word cap

Before you submit
What can cause questions during transcript review?
Questions usually start where the English version loses a Polish distinction: an ungraded pass, a course format, a handwritten entry, or a section of the supplement. We rebuild the structure and check these details before certification.
01
A zaliczenie is relabeled as a graded result
How we handle it: Egzamin grades and zaliczenie passes stay distinct, with zal. o. marked as a graded pass — exactly as the record shows.
02
Wykłady, ćwiczenia, and laboratoria are collapsed into one course type
How we handle it: Course formats keep their separate hours — licensing boards and evaluators weight them differently.
03
Handwritten Indeks entries are guessed
How we handle it: We decipher what the scan supports and mark the rest as illegible or ask for a better image. Nothing is invented.
04
A section of the Suplement is left out
How we handle it: We check the section numbering for gaps and ask about missing pages before you pay.
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 yourselfStart with the full record: send all pages and the instructions from the school or agency. If a name, grade, or date is unreadable, we ask instead of guessing.
Check my transcript setCommon questions
Polish transcript translation questions, answered
These answers cover price, delivery, evaluation requirements, grading scales, and the files you should send.
How much does a certified Polish transcript translation cost?+−
Certified Polish transcript translation starts at $24.95 per physical page. A page is one physical page of the source document. CertTranslate never re-counts a dense page as two.
How long does Polish transcript translation take?+−
Most 1–3 page orders are delivered within 24 hours — included in the price. We confirm the timing for longer or hard-to-read transcripts before you pay.
Does WES require a translation of my Polish transcript?+−
WES asks for translations when school records are not issued in an accepted language. Send the translation with the source record, and follow the WES file list for your country and credential.
Will my Polish transcript translation be accepted?+−
Accepted — or your money back. If a school or agency rejects the translation for a translation-related reason, send us its notice and we will revise the file free. If it is still rejected for that reason, we refund the translation cost. The school or agency still decides whether your record meets its rules.
Do you convert Polish grades into a U.S. GPA?+−
No. Grades stay on the 2.0–5.0 scale exactly as printed — from bardzo dobry to dostateczny — and we translate the legend that explains them. WES and ECE apply their own conversion tables.
Should I upload every semester and continuation page?+−
Yes. Upload all terms, continuation sheets, grading legends, signed pages, and back sides that contain text or stamps. We translate the full record you provide.
What is the difference between egzamin and zaliczenie?+−
An egzamin is a formal exam with a numerical grade that counts toward your average. A zaliczenie is a pass earned by completing course requirements, usually without a numerical grade — zal. o. marks a graded pass. The translation keeps the two distinct.
Do you translate every page of my Indeks booklet?+−
Yes. Every stamped and signed page with course entries is translated, and the handwritten subjects, hours, and grades are organized into a clean English table. If an entry is too faded to read safely, we ask for a better image instead of guessing.
Do I need notarization for WES or university admissions?+−
Notarization is separate from certified translation. It only checks the identity of the person signing, so add it only when your school or agency asks for it.
Should I order my Polish diploma and transcript together?+−
If the school or agency needs both, ordering them together keeps the student name, school, faculty, program, and degree terms consistent across both translations.
What if a grade, seal, or registrar note is hard to read?+−
Upload the clearest scan you have. If we cannot read a detail safely, we ask for a better image or mark it as illegible. We do not guess.
Can I review the translation before certification?+−
Yes. You can review the translation before we sign and stamp the certificate. We fix translation errors at no added cost, both before and after delivery.
Grading reference
How is the grading system shown on a Polish transcript?
We show grades exactly as they appear on the transcript. This table lists common scales, but the grading legend from your school is the final reference.
| Record type | Typical scale | Common pass mark | What stays visible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suplement do dyplomu (modern) | 2.0–5.0 | 3.0 (dostateczny) | ECTS credits, PRK level, eight numbered sections translated whole |
| Wykaz ocen (transition era) | 2–5 | 3.0 | Liczba godzin hours instead of ECTS; letterhead table formats |
| Indeks (PRL and early 90s) | 2–5 family | 3.0 | Handwritten entries organized into tables; stamps and signatures noted |
| Zaliczenie courses | Pass without a numeric grade | zal. — credited | Kept distinct from egzamin grades; zal. o. marked as a graded pass |
