Practical considerations

Grading scales differ between countries, so grades are translated as written rather than converted.
The matching transcript or report card is often requested as well.

Requirements vary

Requirements for this document vary according to the receiving institution and the destination country. Please check with the institution that will receive it whether it needs a standard translation, a certified translation by a sworn translator, notarisation, an apostille or consular legalisation. These are separate steps and one cannot replace another.
