Does UCAS accept your certified translations?

UKVI Accepted
Document Translation for UK Student Visa Applications
Academic document translations for UK student visas. Accepted by UKVI, universities, and UCAS.
Student route applications turn on academic evidence. Your degree, your transcripts, and sometimes secondary school results. Any of those documents not in English needs a certified translation. We do those, plus the supporting financial documents (bank statements, sponsorship letters) that prove maintenance funds. The same translations work for UCAS admissions and UK ENIC qualification statements.
What documents do I need translated for a UK student visa?
For a UK student visa, you need certified translations of your degree certificates, academic transcripts, diplomas, and any reference letters not in English. Financial documents like bank statements and sponsorship letters also need translating.
The Student route (some still call it Tier 4 — the official name changed in 2020) splits into two evidence streams: academic and financial. UKVI wants to see that you have the qualifications to study at degree level. They also want to see that you have the money to pay for it.
The trickiest piece for international students is the timing. Universities ask for translated transcripts at the conditional-offer stage, which is months before the visa application. So translation runs on the university's clock, not UKVI's. The same certified translation usually works for both stages. That avoids paying twice.
- Degree certificates and diplomas
- Academic transcripts and mark sheets
- Reference letters from professors or employers
- English language test results (if not in English)
- Bank statements showing financial means
- Sponsorship letters
- Secondary school certificates (for undergraduate applicants)
Are your translations accepted by UK universities?
Yes. Our certified translations are accepted by all UK universities, UCAS, and UK ENIC (formerly NARIC). We know the formatting and terminology UK academic institutions need.
Yes. The same certified format works across UKVI, UK universities, UCAS, and UK ENIC. UK ENIC (the rebrand of NARIC) is the agency that maps foreign qualifications onto UK academic levels. They need translations to do their work, not original-language documents.
We see academic translations from every major source country. India and China are at the top of the list, with Pakistan, Nigeria, and Bangladesh close behind. Vietnam and Indonesia have grown in recent years. Each country's transcript format is different — Indian mark sheets, Chinese 成绩单, and Nigerian degree statements all need different conventions to translate cleanly.
How much does student visa translation cost?
Academic document translation starts at £12.99 per page. A typical student visa package (degree certificate plus transcript) costs £25.98–£64.95, depending on transcript length. The price includes a statement of accuracy.
Transcripts are the heaviest piece. They usually run two to five pages, depending on the institution. Degree certificates are usually one page. So a standard student-visa academic bundle (degree plus transcript) lands somewhere between £25.98 and £64.95.
There is no surcharge for technical or subject-specific vocabulary. A Mandarin engineering transcript costs the same per page as a French undergraduate transcript: £12.99 either way.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Student Visa Translation UK
Can you translate mark sheets and grade cards?
Yes. We translate mark sheets, grade cards, and all types of academic records. Our translators know the grading systems used around the world.
Do you translate academic documents from India?
Yes. India is one of our most-requested source countries. We translate documents from all Indian universities, boards, and institutions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, and other Indian languages.
How quickly can I get my academic documents translated?
Standard turnaround is 24 business hours per document. Same-day rush is available for urgent university or visa deadlines. Academic transcripts of five pages or more may take 48 hours.
Do I need UK ENIC assessment along with translation?
UK ENIC assessment is separate from translation. It is not always required. Some universities and employers ask for it to compare your overseas qualification with UK equivalents. We provide the translation; you apply to UK ENIC separately.
Do you offer transcript translation services?
Yes. Transcript translation is part of every academic order — degree, transcript, mark sheet, and secondary school certificate. All are certified to the same UKVI, UCAS, and UK ENIC format. We assign translators by source country (Indian mark sheet, Chinese 成绩单, Nigerian degree statement) so the conventions read correctly the first time.
