Before you order
What should I upload with my Ukrainian diploma?
Upload every academic page you have. We identify the diploma, the додаток, and era-specific records, then confirm the page count, price, and delivery time before you pay.
01 · Always start here
Diploma (диплом)
Upload the front and back, including the degree title, institution wording, every stamp, and registrar signature.
02 · The core of the evaluation
Supplement (додаток до диплома)
The course-by-course insert with grades and hours. Evaluators review it line by line — the title page alone is not enough.
03 · Depends on the era
Earlier degrees, transcripts, or apostille pages
Soviet-era спеціаліст records and bachelor-plus-specialist sets may add pages the evaluator wants together.
Real Ukrainian translation casework
Real Ukrainian translation cases
Each case shows what was unusual, how we translated it, and what the evaluator or officer needed to see.
Ukraine · Transliteration
The name could read two ways — Ukrainian or Russian
We applied Ukrainian transliteration rules and matched the spelling to the holder’s Ukrainian passport.

Soviet era · Bilingual form
The Soviet booklet spoke two languages at once
Russian and Ukrainian label lines were both covered, and the Ukrainian-filled entries were identified for the officer.

Era-specific diploma review
How do Ukrainian diploma requirements differ by era?
A Bologna-era диплом, a Soviet-era спеціаліст award, and a transitional-period record follow different rules. Find your era to see what we check.
Бакалавр · Магістр
Post-2005 Ukrainian Diploma Translation
Also issued with: The додаток carries the course-by-course record
- Degree system
- Бакалавр · магістр
- Registry
- ЄДЕБО (EDEBO)
- Watch for
- KMU 2010 transliteration rules
Post-2005 diplomas follow the Bologna structure with бакалавр and магістр degrees, and the supplement lists courses, credits, and grades the evaluator reviews line by line.
We translate the diploma and додаток as one set, with the transliteration matched to the Ukrainian passport rather than an older Russian-based spelling.
Спеціаліст · Кандидат наук
Soviet-Era Ukrainian Diploma Translation
Also issued with: Russian-language УРСР forms are common
- Degree system
- Спеціаліст · кандидат · доктор наук
- Language
- Often Russian-language forms
- Watch for
- Renamed or merged institutions
Soviet-era awards use the спеціаліст structure and research degrees, often on Russian-language republic forms with institution names that later changed.
We keep the degree title as issued — Specialist stays Specialist — and preserve the legacy institution wording with a context note where it genuinely helps.
Late 1990s – mid 2000s
Transitional-Era Diploma Translation
Also issued with: Mixed Soviet and Bologna terminology
- Period
- Late 1990s to mid 2000s
- The risk
- Mixed-era terminology in one set
- Watch for
- Consistent qualification wording
Records from the transition years mix Soviet and Bologna formatting — sometimes within one packet — and inconsistent terminology can read as a different credential.
We keep every era’s wording internally consistent across the diploma, supplement, and any earlier degrees translated in the same set.
Hold a Ukrainian credential from another period? These are the three eras we see most often, but we translate Ukrainian academic records from any year.

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 спеціаліст degree is relabeled with a Bologna title
How we handle it: We keep спеціаліст as “Specialist” and never relabel it — substituting degree systems misrepresents the credential.
02
The transliteration mixes Ukrainian and Russian-based spellings
How we handle it: We follow the Ukrainian passport spelling under the KMU 2010 rules, so the packet reads as one person’s record.
03
The додаток is not translated line by line
How we handle it: Every course, credit value, and grade in the supplement is translated — evaluators compare it row by row.
04
A mixed-era packet carries conflicting terminology
How we handle it: We keep qualification wording consistent across the diploma, supplement, and any earlier degrees in the set.

Ukrainian diploma translation questions, answered
Clear answers about WES, ECE, the додаток, Soviet-era degrees, price, delivery, notarization, and stamps.
How much does a Ukrainian diploma translation cost?+−
Certified Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian diploma and supplement together?+−
Yes. Translating the diploma and додаток together keeps the student name, institution, degree title, and course terminology consistent. Whether you need both depends on the evaluator. 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 додаток (supplement) translated too?+−
Usually yes. The додаток carries the course-by-course record that evaluators review line by line, and the diploma title page alone is not enough for a complete evaluation. Ordering both together keeps transliteration and terminology consistent.
How do you translate спеціаліст and кандидат наук degrees?+−
We translate the credential label as issued — спеціаліст stays “Specialist” and кандидат наук stays “Candidate of Sciences” — with a neutral note only for clarity. How each maps to U.S. terms is the evaluator’s decision, not the translator’s.
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.

| Магістр (mahistr) | Postgraduate degree | 1.5–2 years | Bologna second degree |
| Спеціаліст (spetsialist) | Long-cycle first degree | 5 years | Soviet-era degree — kept as “Specialist”, never relabeled |
| Кандидат наук | Research degree | 3+ years | Soviet-lineage Candidate of Sciences, kept as issued |
| Доктор наук | Higher doctorate | — | The doctorate above Candidate — no one-to-one U.S. label |
