Certified Transcript, Diploma and Academic Record Translation for Afghan Students and Professionals

A complete, word-for-word English translation of the record — every grade, seal, stamp, signature and handwritten note — with the translator's signed statement that it is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from Pashto or Dari. For Afghan records it also means identifying the calendar, matching names to your passport and translating the letterhead exactly as printed.

Yes, when they are exact, word-for-word translations prepared by a professional translator — WES does not accept translations applicants make themselves. Since 2021, WES has said it cannot verify academic documents from Afghanistan and refers applicants to its Gateway Program, which accepts partial documentation. We translate for both routes and check WES's current requirements before we quote.

No. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), USCIS requires a full English translation and the translator's certification that it is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate. Notarization is not required. Some universities and foreign authorities do ask for it, so we provide notarized certificates on request.

IRCC accepts translations by a certified translator who belongs to a Canadian provincial or territorial translators' organization, or by a translator who swears an affidavit before a notary public. You and your relatives may not translate. For Canadian files we provide the translation with the translator's sworn affidavit.

No. The American Translators Association offers no certification exam in Pashto or Dari, and its only Persian exam is listed as unavailable. USCIS does not require one: it asks for the translator's certification that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate. So we own that part — the published 12-point record check, a second linguist on every certified translation, and the training we give our own linguists, and interpreters beyond our firm, in Afghan languages.

We identify the calendar before converting anything. Most Afghan records use the Solar Hijri calendar with Afghan month names — Wray to Kab in Pashto, Hamal to Hut in Dari — not the Iranian names. Records from 1996 to 2001 often carry lunar Hijri dates, and so may records issued since 2022. Every date appears twice in our translation: as issued, and in the Gregorian calendar.

We build one name key for your file: every name, the parent line (son of or daughter of) and every place name, matched to the spelling in your passport, with the original script kept beside it. We never change the record — if two documents disagree, the translation shows exactly what each one says.

No. We do not contact, or route anything through, offices controlled by the de facto authorities in Afghanistan — for your safety and your family's. If you cannot obtain your records, we translate everything you do have and prepare the file that routes such as the WES Gateway Program, the European Qualifications Passport for Refugees and the UNESCO Qualifications Passport ask for.

No. Afghanistan is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so Afghan records cannot carry an apostille. What can be apostilled is our notarized certificate of translation, by the U.S. office that commissioned the notary. When a receiving body abroad asks for an apostille, we arrange it, and we confirm first whether it is needed at all.

No. Grade conversion is the credential evaluator's job, and translations that convert grades are a common reason files are sent back. We reproduce every grade exactly as issued, with the grading scale printed on the document, so WES, ECE or your university can evaluate it.

The Shahadatnama is the 12th Grade Graduation Certificate, which evaluators also call the Baccalaureate. The Se-Parcha is the marks sheet for grades 10, 11 and 12. The Kankor result shows a student's score and placement in Afghanistan's national university entrance examination. Evaluators usually ask for the Shahadatnama and the grades 10–12 marks together.

No — the afghani is Afghanistan's currency. The languages most people mean are Pashto and Dari, Afghanistan's two official languages, both written in Arabic-based scripts. We translate records in Pashto, Dari and 22 more Afghan languages, and the records Afghans earned in Iran, Pakistan, Türkiye and the former Soviet Union.

Yes. Italy's CIMEA asks for an accurate, complete translation by a qualified translator, and UK ENIC asks for a certified translation. Germany's uni-assist, the Netherlands' IDW and Sweden's UHR require a sworn or authorized translator when a record is not in an accepted language, and each sets its own rule on who qualifies. We confirm the rule before you order, so you never pay for a translation a receiving body will not accept.

Most individual files are delivered in three business days, with priority delivery in 24 to 48 hours. Institutional programs run on agreed service levels. Every quote is fixed in advance and depends on page count, languages, handwriting, the certification your receiving body requires and how you want it delivered. You receive your quote within one business day.

Yes. For schools and universities we work as a school official under your direct control under FERPA, sign the SDPC National Data Privacy Agreement or your state's agreement, and deliver batch files through a secure portal, with a machine-readable course and grade file on request. Ariana Nexus is registered in SAM.gov and as a vendor in 37 states.

Not in any certified translation. Every certified translation is produced and reviewed by two human linguists. Software supports secure intake and consistency checks, and your documents are never used to train AI models.
