Your degree certificate is the paper your university gave you when you graduated. It shows your name, your degree and the date it was awarded. When it is not in English, offices in Singapore need an English version they can rely on. Our notarised university degree translation is made by a trained translator, then signed and sealed by a Notary Public registered with the Singapore Academy of Law.
We translate bachelor's, master's and PhD certificates, diplomas and degree scrolls from more than 200 languages. Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, French, German and Russian degrees come to us often.
A single degree is usually ready in 2 to 3 working days, and 24-hour express is there when time is short. We email you a soft copy first. Then we send the hard copy by courier in Singapore, or you can pick it up at Suntec Tower One.
Send a photo of your degree for a free quote before you pay. We accept Visa, Mastercard, PayNow and PayLah. If the office asks for a change to our translation, we make it for free.

Degree Translation Quote
Your degree proves you finished your studies. A degree certificate translation with a notary seal lets offices read that proof in English. As a team that does professional notarized translation in Singapore every day, these are the places we see degrees go most.
ICA asks for official translations of papers not in English. A translation notarised by a Notary Public in Singapore is one of the kinds ICA lists, so most people need no embassy visit.
Good to know
MOM asks for an English translation of papers not in English. MOM checks degrees in a separate step, so the translation does not replace that check.
Good to know
Boards for engineers, nurses, lawyers and other jobs want to see your exact degree title. Ask the board if it wants the translation notarised before you order.
Good to know
A school overseas may want your degree in English with a notary seal. Some also ask for an apostille, so check their rules early.
Good to know
Foreign employers and embassies may ask for a notarised copy of your degree in English. Countries outside the Apostille Convention often need embassy legalisation after the notary step.
Good to know
Your Singapore degree is in English, but an office in China, Japan or Korea may want it in its own language. We translate it the other way and have it notarised.
Good to know
Is your degree for something not listed here? Tell us who will read it, and we will check what they need before you pay.
Check What My Office NeedsDegree certificates are short, but each country writes them in its own way. Some have a photo, some use Latin, and some come as two separate papers. Each notary public translation of your degree follows the layout of the original. A notarised translation is also one of the translations ICA accepts for PR files.
China gives a graduation certificate and a separate degree certificate. We translate each one as its own paper.
Japanese degree diplomas use formal words. We give the degree name its usual English form.
Often shows a degree number and the president's seal. We keep the number and describe the seal.
Bachelor's and master's diplomas with a serial number and a register number. We copy both exactly.
University ijazah with titles like S.T. or S.E. after the name. We explain these titles in English.
Thai degree scrolls name the faculty and any honours. We translate both in full.
French diplomas list the field and the speciality. We keep the official name and add its plain English meaning.
Germany may give a degree paper and a separate grades paper. We tell you which one your office needs.
An honours diploma says с отличием (with distinction). We make sure that wording is clear in English.
A degree is short, so every word counts. In a notarised diploma translation, we match these parts with care.
Spelled as in your passport, even if the degree uses an older spelling.
Bachelor of Engineering, Master of Arts and other titles get their usual English form.
First class, distinction, cum laude and similar words are kept exactly, never made bigger or smaller.
We use the university's own English name when it has one.
Serial numbers, register numbers and the award date are copied digit by digit.
The president's signature, the raised seal and any photo are noted in brackets.
A notarised translation shows what your degree says. It does not prove the degree is real. MOM, for example, says on mom.gov.sg that documents certified by a notary public are not accepted as proof for its qualification check, so plan that step on its own. Our page on notarised translation for MOM pass papers covers the translation side.
Four simple stages take your degree from a photo to a sealed English set. Every university diploma translated and notarised by us follows them.
Hire Notarized TranslatorTake a clear photo or scan of your degree certificate. If it is framed, take it out of the glass so there is no glare on the seal. Include the back if anything is printed there. If you also have a separate graduation paper or grades paper, send those too and tell us which ones the office asked for.
We send a free quote and a delivery date. If your degree title could be put into English in more than one way, we tell you the form we plan to use and why. Once you agree, pay by Visa, Mastercard, PayNow or PayLah. Work on your degree starts as soon as your payment comes in.
A translator who knows your country's university system writes the English version. A second person checks the name, degree title, honours and numbers. Then a Notary Public registered with the Singapore Academy of Law signs the notarial certificate and seals the set. Your degree is now ready to hand to the office that asked for it.
We email the sealed set as a PDF, so you can upload it right away. The paper set goes by courier to your address in Singapore, or you can collect it at Suntec Tower One. A single degree usually takes 2 to 3 working days, and express takes 24 hours when you need it fast.
Get Your Degree Certificate Translated
We translate degrees from more than 200 languages. The ones we see most are Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Bahasa Indonesia, French, German, Russian and Spanish. Old degrees with Latin text are fine too. Each notarized English translation of a degree certificate is made by a translator who reads that language well.
We also translate English degrees into other languages, for people taking a Singapore degree to work or study abroad. If that country is in the Apostille Convention, you may then need an apostille certificate for your translated degree.

When a degree goes abroad, the steps after the notary matter as much as the translation. These notes explain those steps for a degree certificate notarisation with translation, including how the old MFA authentication route now runs through SAL.
A plain guide to SAL authentication, the step that can follow a notary seal. Read it before you send a degree overseas.

Two Venezuelan papers were translated for a US embassy. The lesson: a Singapore notary can attest a translation, but cannot authenticate a foreign original.

A client asked for notarisation and SAL authentication without saying why. Once we knew who would read it, an apostille was clearly not needed.
