How do I get a Turkish diploma and transcript translated into English?

Uğur Arı — sworn translator, Kartal 12th Notary Office · Updated October 11, 2026

Short answer

A Turkish diploma and transcript are translated into English by a sworn translator and, if needed, notarized. For study or recognition abroad, an apostille and sometimes a separate credential evaluation (for example WES) are required. A translation is not an equivalency; acceptance depends on the institution and must be confirmed in advance.

Exceptions and special cases

The diploma and transcript are usually required together. Some institutions ask for an apostille on the original; others accept the sworn translation alone.

Abroad, some universities require a separate credit or credential evaluation (WES, ECE, etc.). This is separate from the translation.

Should the transcript be translated too?

Does translation equal equivalency?

No. Equivalency or credit evaluation is handled by a separate body; the translation makes the document official and readable.
