What a higher education diploma certifies
A diploma records an academic degree and qualification awarded after successful completion of a higher education programme. The main certificate normally identifies the holder and university or academy and states the degree, programme or field, professional qualification, award date, registration number, signatures and official seal.
Its translation may support an application to a university, employer, professional body, immigration authority or academic-recognition service. The intended use determines the language, certification format and whether the file also contains a diploma supplement, transcript, status letter or name-change document.
Diploma, Diploma Supplement and academic transcript
The diploma confirms the award itself. A Diploma Supplement describes the nature, level, context, content and results of the completed studies and may list modules, grades, credits, workload, programme format and duration. An academic transcript records studies over a particular period and does not always prove that a degree has been completed.
These documents have related but different functions. When a recipient needs a complete credential assessment, they are translated as a coordinated file while retaining their own titles, numbering, tables and relationship to the degree certificate.
Degree and qualification terminology
Bachelor, master and doctoral degree names, fields of study, programmes and professional qualifications are translated from the actual wording and the issuing education system. The translation does not independently equate one degree with another or assign a local qualification that the document has not awarded.
The holder’s name is cross-checked against identity records and every other item in the file. Dates, numbers, Latin abbreviations, honours, signatures, seals, QR codes and reverse-side text are checked separately. Terminology remains consistent across the diploma and all accompanying records.
Certified translation, apostille and diploma recognition
A certified translation provides the translated document in the format required by the recipient. An apostille or legalisation authenticates the origin of the official document under the applicable international route. Academic or professional recognition is a separate procedure in which a competent body evaluates the qualification itself.
A Bulgarian diploma used abroad and a foreign diploma presented in Bulgaria may follow different routes. A treaty, apostille, consular legalisation or exemption from further authentication is assessed against the issuing country and the recipient’s rules. La Fit Trans can coordinate the translation and applicable administrative services in one order.
Price of a Higher Education Diploma Translation
The price reflects the language pair, volume, legibility, terminology and layout. A one-page degree certificate and a multi-page supplement containing modules, grades and credits represent different volumes, so the complete file is quoted from its actual content rather than only the number of documents.
Certification, additional copies, apostille, legalisation, institutional fees and delivery are included only when required for the particular use. The quotation separates translation from supporting procedures and identifies the format, turnaround and delivery method.
Turnaround for a diploma and supplement
Turnaround depends on the language, page count, tables, scan quality and the level of terminology research required. A concise degree certificate follows a different schedule from a file containing a detailed supplement, academic transcript, grades, credits and authentication pages.
Standard, priority or express completion is confirmed after the full file has been reviewed. Time for an apostille, legalisation, notarial or institutional certification and delivery is planned separately from translation and revision time.

Online Higher Education Diploma Translation
A legible PDF, scan or photographs of the front and reverse of the diploma and every supplement page are sufficient for an initial assessment. Names, edges, seals, signatures, series, numbers, continuing tables and any authentication attached to the document must remain visible.
Documents can be accepted online, with the completed translation supplied as a digital file, certified paper copy, office collection or delivered set. An original is needed only when the selected certification route or receiving institution requires it.
Diploma translation by La Fit Trans
Higher education diplomas combine academic terminology, official institutional names, personal data and authentication details. La Fit Trans uses a consistent terminology record for the degree, programme, qualification, modules and grades and aligns names across every document in the same file.
Translation and revision follow the requirements of ISO 17100. A single order can combine the diploma, supplement and supporting records with certification, apostille, legalisation, extra copies and delivery while keeping the purpose of each document clear.
Documents accompanying a higher education diploma
A diploma is often submitted with a Diploma Supplement, academic transcript, letter confirming completed semesters, professional-licence certificate, accreditation statement, university letter, birth certificate or name-change document. A coordinated review keeps the holder’s name, institution, degree, programme, dates and registration data consistent throughout the translated file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the diploma and Diploma Supplement translated together?
When the recipient assesses the qualification or requires modules, grades, credits and programme duration, the diploma and supplement are translated as a connected file. Each document retains its own title and function.
How is the name of the degree translated?
The degree, field and professional qualification follow the wording of the diploma and the issuing system. Translation does not perform academic equivalence and does not replace the awarded degree with an assumed local qualification.
Does translating a diploma mean that it is recognised?
No. Translation makes the content available in another language, while recognition is a separate decision by a university, employer, professional body or public authority. The translation can be prepared for the specific recognition procedure.
Does a higher education diploma require an apostille or legalisation?
The issuing and destination countries, applicable treaties and recipient rules determine the route. Apostille, consular legalisation and certified translation are separate steps and are not automatically required in every case.
Can a diploma translation be ordered online?
Yes. A legible scan of the diploma, reverse side and all supplements allows volume, price, turnaround and certification to be confirmed. An original is needed only when the chosen procedure or recipient requires it.
Quotation for a Higher Education Diploma Translation
La Fit Trans prepares a specific quotation after reviewing the diploma, accompanying records and intended use. Language, page count, certification, recognition route, turnaround and delivery are combined into a clearly defined service for the receiving institution.
