We translate diplomas, certificates and academic records for studies, work and recognition procedures abroad.
Before translating, it is necessary to know whether the institution requires only a translation, a notarised translation, an apostille on the original or an apostille on the translation.
A set of education documents may consist of a diploma, a diploma supplement, an academic transcript, an academic certificate or a description of the study programme.
Before processing, we review the document and clarify the destination country. If the client provides instructions from the receiving authority, we take them into account.
We help determine the sequence of services: translation, notarisation, Apostille or document legalisation.
We help prepare personal, educational, legal and company documents for translation, certification and submission in Latvia or abroad.
In education document translations, it's important to indicate the programme, qualification, grading system and attachments. This helps a foreign university or employer understand the document's meaning.
If the client has received a list from the receiving authority, we check which documents need to be prepared as one set.
We translate transcripts so the subject names and structure are preserved.
If the client has instructions from the receiving authority about an Apostille and translation, we take them into account before translating.
Grade reports, certificates and education attachments must be translated so the foreign institution understands the subjects, levels and qualification. Before starting, we check the whole document set.
We preserve the table and grading structure.
We clarify terms based on the document's purpose of use.
If submission requires certification of the translation or an Apostille, tell us when ordering and attach the receiving authority’s requirements if available.
To receive Apostille or place a translation order, bring the document originals to our office or send scanned documents to birojs@pfat.lv.
Sometimes yes, but a supplement or transcript is often required as well.
This depends on the receiving authority's requirements. The client should confirm them with the recipient.
A notarised translation is needed when the institution requires an officially certified translation rather than a simple text translation. We check the required certification before processing the order.
We translate to and from Latvian, English and Russian, and can also arrange many other language combinations through our network of verified translators. Let us know the language pair you need and we'll confirm whether we can help.
Yes, the finished translation can usually be sent electronically as a PDF. If you need the original with a stamp and signature, you can also collect it at our office or have it delivered by courier.
Yes. In transcripts we preserve the subjects, grades and table structure.
We'll align the diploma, diploma supplement, transcript and certification requirements.
