Peru · 0–20 grading scale
A Peruvian transcript listed grades as words, not numerals
We translated each written-out grade and added its numeral. We kept the 0–20 scale, passing grade, and both pages in the same order.

First-hand document experience
Real Spanish transcript translation cases
Transcripts are among the most demanding documents to translate well. Dense tables, repeated columns, grading legends, stamps, and continuation pages must stay easy to match with the source. A translator has to rebuild that structure, not just translate the words. These real cases show why.
Colombia · Typo in the source
A Colombian academic record contained a typo in its own letterhead
We translated the text as issued and kept the school identifier visible. A clear translator note explained the typo instead of silently correcting it.

Guatemala · Overlapping seals
Institutional seals covered the student name and issue date
We translated the text that remained legible and marked the parts covered by seals. We did not guess the hidden name or date.

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.

01 · Transcript
Every transcript page and every term
Include all semesters and continuation sheets. Add any back page with a stamp, note, or registrar statement.
02 · Grading details
Grading legends, credit notes, and abbreviations

Diploma and recipient instructions
Add your diploma if you need both files in English. Include any checklist from your school, evaluator, or licensing board.
Country-specific records
How do Spanish transcripts differ by country?
Spanish transcripts use different names, grading scales, and credit systems in each country. We follow the terms and scale printed on your record.
Certificado de Estudios
Mexican Transcript Translation
Also issued with: Also: kardex / historial académico
- Typical scale
- 0–10
- Common pass mark
- 6
- Record may show
- SEP
Mexican transcripts are often called kardex, historial académico, or certificado de estudios. We keep the source title, course order, créditos, grading legend, and SEP references.
Grades stay on the scale used by the school. A credential evaluator decides how they compare with U.S. grades.
Certificado de Notas
Colombian Transcript Translation
Also issued with: Also: historial académico
- Typical scale
- 0.0–5.0
- Common pass mark
- 3.0
- Record may show
- SNIES
Colombian transcripts often use a 0–5 scale. They may also list program codes, accreditation details, and school-specific credit notes.
We keep decimal grades, SNIES references, legends, and registrar lines easy to compare with the Spanish record.
Certificado Analítico
Argentine Transcript Translation
Also issued with: Parcial (in progress) / definitivo (final)
- Typical scale
- 0–10
- Record status
- Parcial or definitivo
- Often paired with
- Título universitario
An analítico parcial shows studies in progress. An analítico definitivo is the final school record, so the translation keeps this difference clear.
If you order the diploma too, we use the same university, faculty, student name, and degree terms in both translations.
Récord Académico
Peruvian Transcript Translation
Also issued with: Also: certificado de estudios
- Typical scale
- 0–20
- Common pass mark
- 11
- Record may show
- SUNEDU
Peruvian transcripts commonly use a 0–20 scale. We keep that scale and its grading legend exactly as the school issued them.
We also translate SUNEDU references, registrar statements, written-out grades, and entries on the back.
Certificación Académica Personal
Spanish Transcript Translation from Spain
Also issued with: Also: expediente / certificado académico
- Typical scale
- 0–10
- Common pass mark
- 5
- Credit system
- ECTS on newer records
Transcripts from Spain may use aprobado, notable, sobresaliente, matrícula de honor, and ECTS credits.
We keep these grade names and the source credit system. We do not force the record into a Latin American format.
Issued somewhere else? Upload your transcript and we will identify the record type and grading system before you pay.
Check my transcriptThe real price of a dense page
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.

One physical page, with no word cap
A provider with a 250-word cap

Before you submit
What can cause questions during transcript review?
Questions often come up when the translation breaks the link between a course, its credits, and its grade — or when a page, legend, or seal is missed. We rebuild the layout and check these details before certification.
01
A page, reverse side, or grading legend is missing
How we handle it: We review the full file first and flag any visible reference to a missing page or back side.
02
Grades are converted instead of preserved
How we handle it: We keep the source scale and translate its legend. The evaluator handles equivalency and GPA conversion.
03
Course titles differ between the transcript and diploma
How we handle it: We check repeated faculty, program, and course names across every document in your order.
04
Stamps, notes, or institutional identifiers disappear
How we handle it: We include every legible seal, registrar statement, signature, issue detail, and SEP, SNIES, or SUNEDU reference.
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
Spanish transcript translation questions, answered
These answers cover price, delivery, evaluation requirements, grading scales, and the files you should send.
How much does a certified Spanish transcript translation cost?+−
Certified Spanish 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 Spanish 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 Spanish 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 Spanish 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 Spanish grades into a U.S. GPA?+−
No. We keep every grade on the original scale and translate the grading legend. Your university or credential evaluator decides U.S. equivalency and any GPA calculation.
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.
Can you translate a kardex, analítico, or certificado de notas?+−
Yes. These are common names for Spanish school records, but they do not always mean the same thing. We keep the exact title and format used by the school.
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.
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 Spanish 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.
Grading reference
How is the grading system shown on a Spanish transcript?

| Mexico | 0–10 | 6 | Institution legend, créditos, SEP references |
| Colombia | 0.0–5.0 | 3.0 | Decimals, credits, SNIES/program identifiers |
| Argentina | 0–10 | Often 4; institution rules vary | Parcial/definitivo status and faculty terminology |
| Peru | 0–20 | 11 | Legend, grades written as words, SUNEDU references |
| Spain | 0–10 | 5 | Named grade categories and ECTS/pre-Bologna credits |
