Real Spanish diploma translation cases
Each case shows what was unusual, how we translated it, and what the evaluator or licensing board needed to see.
Peru · Reverse side
The Peruvian medical degree had its registration on the back
We translated the front and back together so the registration and official authentications remained part of the same record.

Puerto Rico · Licensing board
The Puerto Rican nursing diploma still needed translation
We translated the ceremonial Spanish text for a mainland licensing board and left the Latin institutional motto in its original form.

Country-specific diploma review
How do Spanish diploma requirements differ by country?
A Mexican título profesional, Colombian diploma, Peruvian título, and Spanish grado are different documents. Choose the country where you studied to see what we check.
Título Profesional
Mexican Diploma Translation
Also issued with: Cédula profesional is a separate practice license
- Degree system
- Licenciatura
- Professional registry
- SEP · Dirección General de Profesiones
- Apostille
- Hague member since 1995
A Mexican título profesional records the academic award. A cédula profesional is a separate practice credential handled through the Dirección General de Profesiones. When both are submitted, the English translation must keep them distinct.
These documents often go to credential evaluators and U.S. universities. We preserve the original licenciatura label, institutional seals, rector signatures, folio numbers, and SEP references.
Diploma
Colombian Diploma Translation
Also issued with: Acta de grado is a separate graduation record
- Degree system
- Título profesional
- Registry
- SNIES · Ministerio de Educación
- Apostille
- Hague member since 2001
Colombian diplomas may include institutional certifications, SNIES codes, and degree labels from the national higher-education system. We keep those identifiers visible instead of reducing the document to a generic diploma.
An evaluator may compare the institution and program with Ministry records. We translate every seal and accreditation reference while keeping the separate acta de grado easy to identify.
Título Universitario
Argentine Diploma Translation
Also issued with: Usually paired with the certificado analítico
- Degree system
- Título de grado
- Registry
- Ministerio de Educación
- Apostille
- Hague member since 1988
Argentine diplomas often use the título universitario label and name a specific faculty and degree. We preserve that structure instead of replacing it with a generic U.S. degree label.
The diploma is commonly submitted with a certificado analítico. Translating both documents together keeps the university, faculty, student name, and degree terminology consistent.
Título Profesional
Peruvian Diploma Translation
Also issued with: Bachiller is the academic step before it
- Degree system
- Bachiller → título profesional
- Registry
- SUNEDU
- Apostille
- Hague member since 2010
Peruvian records distinguish the bachiller academic degree from the later título profesional. They may also include SUNEDU or professional-registration references. We keep those distinctions clear in English.
Registration and authentication may appear on the back. We translate both sides and preserve every degree label, SUNEDU reference, seal, and registration entry.
Título de Grado
Spanish Diploma Translation from Spain
Also issued with: Older records may say licenciatura or diplomatura
- Degree system
- Bologna · grado, máster, doctorado
- Official registry
- RUCT · Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities
- Apostille
- Hague member since 1978
Current diplomas from Spain follow the Bologna framework and use grado, máster, and doctorado. Older documents may use licenciatura or diplomatura, which describe a different academic structure.
We preserve the original degree label, university seal, and registry references instead of modernizing the document. The English layout keeps the issuing institution and credential era clear.

How much can a 250-word page cap add to your price?
A diploma may contain only a few words, but a transcript, registry page, or supplement can be dense. A provider with a 250-word cap may bill one physical page as two or three pages.

Frequent problems we correct
What can cause questions during credential review?
These four issues can make a diploma difficult to compare with the original. We check for each one before certification.
01
The degree title is rewritten as a generic “bachelor’s”
How we handle it: We retain licenciatura, título profesional, grado, or ingeniero and do not invent a U.S. equivalency.
02
The cédula profesional is confused with the diploma
How we handle it: The academic award and professional license stay separate, even when both appear in one evaluation packet.
03
A merged or renamed university replaces the original issuer
How we handle it: We preserve the institution name printed on the credential and add a concise note only when useful.
04
SNIES, SUNEDU, seals, or reverse-side entries are omitted
How we handle it: Every visible registry code, seal, signature, and authentication is translated or clearly described.

Spanish diploma translation questions, answered
Clear answers about WES, ECE, transcripts, cédulas, price, delivery, notarization, seals, and the back of your diploma.
How much does a Spanish diploma translation cost?+−
Certified Spanish diploma translation starts at $24.95 per physical page. One physical page is billed once, even when it contains more than 250 words. We confirm the page count and total before payment.
How long does a Spanish diploma translation take?+−
Most 1–3 page orders are delivered within 24 hours, included in the standard price. Twelve-hour Rush and six-hour Super Rush are also available. If the documents are longer or difficult to read, we confirm the delivery time before work begins.
Will WES accept my Spanish diploma translation?+−
WES requires an exact, word-for-word English translation when a translation appears in your personal Required Documents list. We provide it with a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy. WES makes the final decision. If it requests a translation-related correction, we revise it free; if the translation is still rejected for that reason, we refund the translation cost.
Does ECE require a certified diploma translation?+−
ECE uses different rules from WES. ECE offers a paid Translation Waiver and may accept a word-for-word translation prepared by the applicant when the waiver is not purchased. Check your ECE order before buying a separate translation.
Can you translate my Spanish diploma and transcript together?+−
Yes. Translating the diploma and transcript together keeps the student name, institution, degree title, and academic terminology consistent. Whether you need both depends on the evaluator and country of education. Upload every academic document you have, and we will identify which pages need translation before you pay.
Is diploma translation the same as credential evaluation?+−
No. CertTranslate translates the academic documents into English. WES, ECE, or another evaluator decides the U.S. equivalency of the degree. We preserve the original credential wording and do not invent a U.S. degree or GPA conversion.
Do I need the cédula profesional with a Mexican diploma?+−
The cédula is a separate professional-practice license. Include it when the evaluator, employer, or licensing board needs both the academic award and evidence of professional registration.
How do you translate licenciatura, ingeniero, or bachiller?+−
We translate the wording faithfully and preserve the original credential label when a direct U.S. equivalent would be misleading. The evaluator—not the translator—decides the U.S. equivalency.
Should I upload the back, seals, stamps, and signatures?+−
Yes. Upload the front and back, including every seal, stamp, signature, registry entry, and attached apostille. We translate or describe every legible element that appears on the document.
Do I need a certified or notarized diploma translation?+−
A certified translation includes the translator’s signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate. Notarization only verifies the identity of the person signing that statement. Add notarization only when the organization receiving your diploma asks for it.
Is there a 250-word cap per page?+−
No. One physical page stays one billed page, even when the diploma, transcript, or supplement is unusually dense.

| Grado (Spain, Bologna) | First-cycle degree | 4 years / 240 ECTS | Replaced many pre-Bologna labels |
