What to prepare for Academic Admissions translation
Colleges, universities, and credential evaluators may request English translations of educational records. Translation describes the source record; it is not a credential evaluation or a conversion of grades.
- Ask the admissions office whether it needs certification or a specific file format.
- Upload the complete transcript, including grading keys and back-page instructions.
- Distinguish translation from any separately required course-by-course credential evaluation.
Examples of documents
Translate only the records your recipient needs. Certification is a statement about the translation, not about the validity of the source document.
- Transcripts
- Diplomas
- Enrollment and graduation records
Choose certification and layout options
Certified Translation includes certification. Standard Translation is a separate service. Translation + DTP includes translation with layout work; use it when preserving document structure matters.
Notarization and apostilles are not included in the current checkout. Metro does not issue government apostilles. If a recipient asks for additional formalities, contact (313) 782-3366 before ordering.
How the online order works
Upload your source documents, select the available language direction and service, and provide the receiving instructions. Metro assesses the files and prepares a quote. Review the quote before you authorize payment.
If details need review, your files stay with Metro; an upload is not a promise of immediate completion. Released translations are accessed through a secure completion link, not a public document page or an email attachment.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I order from any U.S. state?
- Yes. Metro’s online ordering service is available nationwide. These service-area pages do not imply a local branch or a required in-person visit.
- What should I upload?
- Include complete, readable records, every text-bearing side, and relevant recipient instructions.
- Does certification guarantee Academic Admissions acceptance?
- No. Follow the receiving organization’s document, translator, and format requirements. Certification does not authenticate the source record or guarantee a legal or administrative result.
- Are repeated documents charged more than once?
- Repeated copies of the same document are counted once. Each unique document has its own minimum; the minimum is not applied separately to every page. Your quote is assessed through the existing order workflow.
- Does checkout include notarization or an apostille?
- No. Those are separate formalities and are not included in the current translation checkout. Contact Metro about the receiving organization’s instructions before ordering.
