Clear explanation
What Is Professional Qualification Translation?
Professional qualification translation is the translation of certificates, licences, vocational awards and related credentials that demonstrate a person's professional training, status or competence.
These documents may be requested by an employer, professional body, institution or other organisation when the original qualification is written in another language.
The required format depends on the recipient. Some organisations ask only for a clear translation, while others request a certified translation or additional document handling. Check the recipient's instructions before ordering whenever possible.

Where translations are used
Professional Credentials for Recognition, Registration and Employment
The correct translation format depends on why the qualification is being requested and the rules of the organisation receiving it.
Employment Applications
Provide employers with translated evidence of professional training, qualifications, licences or vocational competence.
Qualification Recognition
Present overseas credentials in another language when an organisation needs to review the qualification and the information recorded on it.
Official Submissions
Qualification evidence may also form part of academic, administrative, immigration or other formal submissions.
Choose the correct format
Certified, Standard, Notarised or Legalised?
These terms are not interchangeable. The organisation receiving your qualification should tell you which format or additional formalities it requires.
Translation without formal certification
May be appropriate when the recipient only needs the qualification translated for general, internal or informational use.
Translation with an accuracy statement
Where certification is required, the translated document is accompanied by a signed and dated statement confirming that it is a true and accurate translation of the original.
Notarisation or legalisation
Some recipients may ask for an additional notarial, apostille or legalisation step. Confirm this requirement before the project begins.

Common questions
Professional Qualification Translation FAQs
Practical answers about certification, professional licences, scans, formatting, cost and submission requirements.
Do I need a certified translation of my professional qualification?
It depends on the organisation receiving the qualification. Employers, professional bodies, educational institutions and other recipients may have different requirements. If they ask for formal confirmation of translation accuracy, a certified translation may be appropriate. Send any written instructions with the document.
Can you translate professional licences and vocational certificates?
Yes. Professional licences, vocational qualifications, training certificates, registration documents and other professional credentials can be sent for review. Include the intended use so the appropriate format can be assessed.
Can my qualification certificate and supporting records be translated together?
Related qualification documents can be reviewed as one project. Send the complete set and identify which pages or records need translation so the scope can be assessed accurately.
Will the layout of my qualification be preserved?
Where practical, the translated document can be organised to reflect the structure of the source while keeping the final text clear and easy to review. Mention any specific formatting requirement when submitting the files.
Can I submit a scan or photograph of the qualification?
A clear scan or photograph can generally be sent for review and quotation. Every relevant part of the document should be visible and legible, including handwritten notes, stamps, seals and signatures.
What happens to stamps, seals and signatures?
Relevant visible text associated with stamps, seals and annotations can be considered as part of the translation. Non-text features can be indicated appropriately in the translated presentation where required.
Do I need notarisation or an apostille as well as translation?
Not necessarily. Certification, notarisation and legalisation are different requirements. Ask the organisation receiving the qualification which process it requires before ordering, and send its instructions with your documents.
How much does professional qualification translation cost?
The quotation depends on factors such as the qualification type, amount of text, language pair, formatting, required turnaround and any certification or additional handling. Sending the complete document allows the actual scope to be reviewed.
How long will the translation take?
Turnaround depends on the language pair, document length, complexity, formatting and deadline. Include your required date when submitting the qualification so the available delivery options can be confirmed.
How do I know whether the receiving organisation will accept the translation?
The receiving organisation determines its own document requirements. Confirm whether it requires certification, a particular format, notarisation, legalisation or another formality before ordering whenever possible.
