For university, recognition, employment and licensing files
MOJ Licensed Legal Translator Khaled Mohamed Abdeltawab Aladl (MOJ License #701) · Timing is confirmed after we see your document.
Send Your DocumentAcademic transcripts are used for different purposes, including university admission, qualification recognition, employment and professional licensing. The receiving organisation decides whether a translation is needed and what language or credential it requires. Send the complete transcript and the current instruction before ordering.
What you get when you order
- What you receive: for a transcript translated between Arabic and English, legal translation stamped and signed by an MOJ-licensed translator; a digital PDF for your review before submission; and a hard copy when requested. For other language pairs, we confirm the language pair and credential before you pay.
- What we need from you: every page of the transcript the recipient asked for, your name as spelled in your passport, and the recipient’s current instruction.
- Price: a transcript of up to three pages has a fixed-scope pricing page; longer transcripts are quoted after we see them. See all pricing.
- Next step: use the WhatsApp button on this page to send the transcript and the instruction. We confirm the scope, price and timing before work begins.
Academic Transcript Translation Service: What’s Actually in the Package
The translation reproduces the requested visible transcript content in the target language: course names, grades, credit hours, semester information, GPA and institutional details shown in the source. If the source contains a grading scale or classification, that information is translated as shown. No separate grading-scale notation sheet, grade conversion or equivalency interpretation is added. Where the receiver requires UAE legal translation, the applicable licensed provider and credential are confirmed before payment.
A transcript translation is not a degree certificate translation. Some receiving services request both documents, while others do not. Follow the current instruction for your university, recognition service, employer or licensing body. See our degree certificate translation page when the degree itself also needs translation.
If the transcript shows transfer credits, courses from another institution or special academic notations, those entries are translated exactly as shown. A receiving institution may ask for separate supporting evidence; translation does not decide whether transfer credit is recognised or what additional document is required.
Translation is one document step, not a universal application package. For a university, recognition service, employer, Golden Visa route, work-permit file or healthcare licensing, check the current receiving requirement first. If it specifies attestation or another source-document formality, follow that service’s sequence.

Source-Faithful Quality Checks
Academic transcripts are dense records. Course terminology, grades, credits, dates and names must match the source. We preserve the academic result rather than convert it, and we flag unclear or missing source material instead of inventing an interpretation.
Pre-Screening: What We Check Before Translating
Transcripts carry a lot of data on each page. We review every transcript before quoting.
- Page completeness — Send every page the receiving organisation has asked you to submit. If the set is incomplete or a continuation page is missing, we ask for the rest before quoting the final scope.
- Grading information — We preserve the system and values shown in the source. If a grading scale is absent, we do not create one.
- Source language — We confirm the language pair and translator availability before work begins.
- Attestation or source status — Follow the current receiving-service instruction. If it requires a final attested transcript to be translated, send that version.
- Document version — If you have provisional, consolidated or supplementary records, send the receiving instruction so the correct source set can be identified.
Transcript Labels and Formats Vary
Universities use different document names and structures: transcript, marksheet, detailed marks certificate, transcript of records, academic record, consolidated statement or another local label. Send the complete document set named by the receiver. Translation preserves the source content; it does not decide whether a provisional, consolidated or supplementary record is sufficient.
Qualification Recognition
If you are using the transcript for UAE qualification recognition, check the current receiving-service requirements for the exact document set, language, certification and source-document formalities. Translation reproduces the academic record; it does not determine whether the qualification is recognised or equivalent.

University Admissions
University requirements differ. Some institutions ask for an English or Arabic translation when the original is in another language; others specify their own document or format rules. Send the current admission instruction with the transcript so the requested translation can be scoped correctly.
Why Transcript Translation Requires Precision
Transcripts are dense documents packed with information that admissions officers and credential evaluators scrutinize carefully. A single mistranslated course name could misrepresent your qualifications. An incorrectly rendered grade could affect admission decisions or job offers.
Academic terminology varies across educational systems. We translate the terminology shown in the source without treating different classifications, GPA scales or percentages as academically equivalent.
We preserve grades exactly as they appear and do not convert or interpret them. If the source includes a grading scale, legend or classification explanation, that information is translated as part of the source.
Timing and Delivery
Timing depends on the complete page set, language pair, readability, terminology, requested credential, formatting and current translator availability. We confirm the delivery time after reviewing the actual transcript.
Tell us the real deadline and requested delivery format when you send the file. Digital or physical delivery arrangements are confirmed as part of the quote; this page does not promise an authority processing time or a fixed translation turnaround.
Recognition and Other Official Uses
For a recognition, immigration, employment or licensing file, use the current instruction from the receiving service. It may ask for the transcript, degree certificate or other supporting records in a particular language or form. Translation does not replace recognition, attestation, licensing or application review.
If the receiving service asks for both a transcript and degree certificate translation, send both documents and its instruction so each scope can be confirmed separately.
University Admission Applications
For university admission, check the institution’s current document and language requirements. If it requests a translated transcript, send its instruction with the complete source.
For transfer-credit review, translation preserves the course names, grades and credits shown in the source. The university decides which credits or courses it will recognise. If the institution provides formatting instructions, share them before the scope is confirmed.
Academic Transcript Translation Service Across the UAE
Students and professionals across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah use our transcript translation services. For a Golden Visa route, check the current category-specific document list. If it asks for a transcript or academic record, we scope that translation separately from the degree certificate.
For healthcare licensing or another professional-registration process, check whether the receiving body requests a translated transcript and what credential it requires. Translation is separate from licensing, recognition and attestation.
Send your transcript via WhatsApp for review. We check the page count, language pair, source information and receiving requirement, then confirm the scope, quote and timing before you commit.
How It Works
Transcript Review
We assess transcript format, source language, legibility, total page count and the receiving requirement before quoting.
Course Translation
Each course name, grade and credit hour is translated according to the source and target language, without changing the academic result.
Grade Notation
Original grades are preserved. If the source shows a grading scale, that information is translated as shown; we do not convert or interpret grades.
Confirmed Delivery
The requested credential and delivery format are confirmed after review. The receiving organisation decides what it requires and accepts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our translation services.
How are multi-page transcripts quoted?
Send the complete transcript. We confirm the page count, language pair, layout, requested credential and delivery scope before giving the quote.
Do you translate grades or just course names?
We translate the visible transcript content requested for the target language, including course names, grades, credit hours, semester designations, cumulative GPA, class rank if shown, and source notations or remarks. Grades remain as shown in the source.
How do you handle different grading systems?
We preserve grades exactly as shown. If the source transcript states the grading scale or classification system, we translate that information too. We do not create an equivalency, convert grades or add an explanatory grading scale that is absent from the source.
Will my university or authority accept the translated transcript?
Requirements differ by receiving institution and service. Check the current instruction for the university, recognition service, employer or licensing body. Send that instruction with the transcript so we can confirm the translation scope; the receiving organisation makes the final acceptance decision.
Do transcripts need attestation before translation?
Do not assume one sequence. Recognition services, universities and licensing bodies can have different document requirements. Follow the current receiving-service instruction. If it requires the final attested transcript to be translated, send that final version.
Can you translate transcripts in languages other than English?
Yes. We translate transcripts from Chinese, Hindi, French, German, Spanish, Russian, and many other languages. University transcripts from non-English countries often use specialized academic vocabulary that our translators understand.
What should I check before submitting a translated transcript?
Make sure every required page is included and that course names, grades, credit hours, GPA, dates and student details match the source. Also check the receiving organisation's current language, credential and document-format requirements. Translation does not determine qualification recognition or admission.
How long does transcript translation take?
Timing depends on the page count, language pair, readability, formatting and requested credential. We confirm the delivery time after reviewing the actual transcript and current translator availability.
Can you translate partial transcripts or single semesters?
We can review the pages you provide, but the receiving organisation decides whether a partial transcript is sufficient. Send its current instruction when only selected semesters or pages are requested.
Do you handle supplementary academic documents?
Send any related academic document the receiver has requested, such as a degree certificate, letter or course record. We confirm whether it is within the translation scope before quoting. A transcript translation does not replace a separate document the receiver requires.
What if my university uses a unique grading system?
We preserve the exact grades, rankings and grading-scale information that appear in the source. If the source does not explain the grading system, we do not create an equivalency or interpretation; ask the receiving institution what supporting information it needs.
Can you translate electronic transcripts or PDFs?
Send the complete readable electronic transcript or PDF for review. We confirm whether the supplied file is usable for translation; the receiving organisation decides whether that source format is acceptable for its own process.
What does an academic transcript translation service include?
The translation covers the requested visible transcript content, including courses, grades, credit hours, GPA and institutional details. Grading-scale information is translated only when it appears in the source. Where the receiver requires UAE legal translation, the applicable licensed provider and requested credential are confirmed before payment.
