Certified Academic Transcript translation
Academic Transcript translation in Singapore
Officially certified and accepted by the authorities that matter in Singapore.
An academic transcript, mark sheet, or statement of results often needs to be translated for use in Singapore β most commonly for undergraduate and postgraduate admission at universities such as NUS, NTU, and SMU, to support an Employment Pass or other work pass application through the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), or for credential evaluation. When the transcript is not in English, the receiving institution requires a certified English translation; an uncertified translation is not accepted.
Singapore does not maintain a register of sworn or court-appointed translators. A translation is accepted when it is a certified translation produced by a professional translation company with a signed statement of accuracy. Where a university, MOM, the Ministry of Education (MOE), or a foreign authority requires stronger authentication, the certified translation is notarised by a Notary Public and, for overseas use, authenticated by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) and legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
Translife delivers certified academic transcript translation for the Singapore market from our Singapore office. Each transcript is translated by a qualified human linguist familiar with academic and grading terminology, reviewed by a second linguist, and issued with our certification statement, official stamp, and signature. Course titles, credit hours, grades, and grading scales are rendered faithfully β with the original grading system preserved β so admissions officers and credential evaluators can assess the results accurately.

Academic Transcript translation in Singapore β FAQ
Answers to the questions we are asked most often.
Is a certified academic transcript translation accepted by NUS, NTU, SMU and MOM?
Yes. Singapore does not use sworn translators; universities such as NUS, NTU, and SMU, and MOM, accept a certified translation produced by a professional translation company with a signed statement of accuracy. Our translations carry that statement, our company stamp, and signature. Where an institution or overseas authority requires more, we arrange notarisation by a Notary Public and SAL/MFA legalisation.
How much does academic transcript translation cost in Singapore?
Pricing is quoted in Singapore Dollars per document, based on the language pair, the length of the transcript, and whether notarisation or SAL/MFA legalisation is needed. Multi-page transcripts are priced on length. You will receive an exact, all-in quote before we begin β request a free quote to get yours.
How long does it take?
Turnaround depends on length, as transcripts are usually multi-page. A typical transcript is ready within 2β4 working days for the certified translation, with urgent options available. Notarisation, SAL authentication, and MFA legalisation add a few additional working days depending on the destination.
Will the original grading scale be preserved in the translation?
Yes. We render course titles, credit hours, and grades faithfully and preserve the original grading scale and any legend, so admissions officers and credential evaluators can interpret your results accurately without losing the context of the source institution's system.
Should I also translate my degree certificate?
Usually, yes. University admissions and MOM applications commonly require both the academic transcript and the degree certificate. We translate and certify both, and you can request a combined quote so your application package is consistent and complete.
