What Is Academic Transcript Translation?
Academic transcript is an official document released by the institution that provides a record of all of your education, courses and grades. Academic Transcript Record is intended to be a translated copy of the original academic transcript records and won’t contain alterations to the original formatting or interpretation of the record: the titles of the records themselves, the grading system, the language/terms used at the academic institution etc.

Important Note:- In UAE different types of translations are available. MOJ certified legal translation, certified translation and normal translation services. Before proceeding with MOJ-certified legal translation, your document must be MOFA-attested. For certified translation there is no need for MOFA attestation. Certified or legal Translation is vital, both for receiving institutions and credential evaluators, which rely on accurate information to make a decision on admission and/or equivalency. Academic transcript translations will typically include:
- Student information and information about the universities.
- Course titles, Course descriptions.
- Grades/marks for one semester.
- GPA, CGPA and earned credit hours.
- Examination dates and overall academic performance.
Transcript vs. Degree Certificate
It is important to note that academic transcript is not a degree certificate:
- Academic Transcript: The academic transcript is a multi-page document that documents all courses taken within the program, credit hours received, semester-by-semester grades, and the overall GPA/CGPA.
- Degree Certificate: A single page certificate given at graduation stating the degree earned (such as Bachelor of Science) and the date of graduation.

UAE Requirements for Academic Transcript Translation and Attestation
The UAE official procedures clearly distinguish between the two: document translation and legal attestation.
UAE Ministry of Education Requirements
Academic transcripts are often a part of higher education qualification recognition. The original duly certified qualification and transcript are required for the applications of equivalencies as mentioned by the UAE Ministry of Education. These are certified translations in Arabic or English of certificates and marksheets other than Arabic or English as per the official MOE E-Services Portal.
MOFA Educational Document Attestation
Academic certificates and academic transcripts will be treated as two separate documents and will be processed independently by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). A few of the guidelines related to the key attestations are:
- Originality of Document Requirements for attestation.
- The documents should be attested from the Home country, UAE embassy and final MOFA in UAE.
- Language Standards: All documents must be in English and/or Arabic, or be officially translated into one of each..
Note: Attestation confirms the real property legality of stamps and signatures, translation will convert the text into the desired language.
