Translating your Afrikaans degree certificate  into English is a crucial step for those who wish to continue their studies or develop their professional career in English-speaking countries. Certified translations ensure that your academic achievements are recognised accurately by universities, professional licensing bodies and immigration authorities. Degree certificates are essential for demonstrating your qualifications when applying for university admission, professional licences and immigration. If your documents are issued in Afrikaans, certified translations into English will help ensure that your credentials are clearly understood and officially recognised by institutions around the world.

At Afrikaans Translation, we provide certified translations of qualifications, including degree certificates and diplomas. Through our user-friendly website, we offer certified translations of degree certificates and apostille legalisation for individuals who need to present their qualifications in other countries. We serve clients in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.

What is Degree Certificate Translation?

A degree certificate translation involves converting an academic certificate from one language to another, typically to enable it to be used in a different country or by an organisation that requires documentation in a specific language. This must be a sworn translation, whereby official documents are translated so that they retain their legal validity, and the sworn translator certifies that the translation is faithful to the original and that the translated document is legally valid.

Apostille requirements for degree translations

If the institution or country of destination requires additional legalisation, you will need to submit your legalised university degree, along with its translation.
