Agency lookup
Search translation requirements for all major credential evaluation agencies
Use this guide as a practical starting point. Requirements can change, and each agency has final authority over whether a translation is accepted for your file. Last source review: July 2026.
Important: NACES says its members should be contacted directly for services, fees
and requirements. AICE similarly directs applicants to contact its endorsed providers directly. This
lookup summarizes known translation rules and D&T's service fit, but it is not a guarantee of
acceptance.

Translation standards
What translations for credential evaluations usually need
Evaluation agencies need the translation to preserve the academic record, not reinterpret it. The evaluator decides equivalencies; the translator should make the source document readable in English.
What D&T focuses on
- Typed, complete, word-for-word English translation.
- Course titles, grades, credits, dates, notes and grading scales preserved.
- Visible seals, stamps, logos, signatures and handwritten notes reflected.
- Translator certification statement with D&T contact details.
- Optional digital notarization when the evaluation agency asks for it.
What the translation should not do
- Do not convert grades, GPAs, degrees or credits into U.S. equivalents.
- Do not omit stamps, seals, registration numbers or marginal notes.
- Do not use handwritten translations unless the agency specifically allows it.
- Do not submit self-translations or family-member translations when a professional is required.
- Do not assume one agency's policy applies to another agency.
FAQ
Certified translation questions for credential evaluations
These answers apply broadly to academic credential evaluation submissions. Always follow the receiving agency's current instructions.
Do credential evaluation agencies use the same translation rules?
No. NACES and AICE membership means the evaluation agency belongs to that professional association, but each agency still sets its own document and translation policy.
Can D&T translate academic documents for WES and ECE?
Yes. D&T prepares certified translations commonly used for WES, ECE and other credential evaluation submissions. You should still confirm the agency's current policy for your exact document and country.
Do I need notarization?
Some evaluation agencies ask for notarized translations or strongly prefer notarization. Others do not. The lookup highlights agencies where notarization is commonly recommended based on the requirements provided.
Do I mail original documents to D&T?
No. Upload clear scans or photos through the quote form. Some evaluation agencies may have separate rules for official transcripts or originals, but D&T prepares the translation from your uploaded digital copy.
Can the translation replace the original document?
No. Evaluation agencies usually require the original-language academic record or official document in addition to the English translation. The translation helps the evaluator read the original record.
Is D&T affiliated with the agencies listed?
No. D&T Translations is an independent translation agency. We are not affiliated with NACES, AICE or the evaluation agencies listed on this page.
