Certified Academic Transcript translation
Academic Transcript translation in Singapore
Officially certified translation prepared for Singapore submissions; the receiving authority decides acceptance.
An academic transcript, mark sheet, or statement of results may need an English translation for Singapore university admission, a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) work-pass application, credential evaluation, or another receiving body. Check that body's current written checklist before ordering: its required form of translation and any authentication step are authority-specific.
For an ICA application that includes a non-English transcript, ICA publishes several official-translation routes and does not endorse private translation companies. One route accepts a translation notarised by a Notary Public in Singapore or the country/place that issued the document. That means a Malaysian Notary Public can notarise the translation of a Malaysia-issued transcript; a document issued elsewhere must follow its own issuing-country/place route or another ICA-published route.
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.
Submission contexts
Common Singapore submission contexts
Requirements vary by document and application; confirm the receiving authority's written route.
Universities (NUS, NTU, SMU and others)
Confirm the individual programme's current admissions checklist before arranging a translation or authentication step.
Ministry of Manpower (MOM)
For Employment Pass documents, MOM says to upload the original and English translation in one file; its guidance permits a translation service provider.
Ministry of Education (MOE) Singapore
Confirm the relevant programme or recognition process's current document requirements.
Credential evaluation & professional bodies
Confirm the evaluator or body's required translation and authentication route before submission.
Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA)
Use ICA's current published official-translation routes; ICA does not endorse any private translation provider.
Singapore Notary Public & SAL (if required)
If a confirmed route requires a Singapore Notary Public, SAL authenticates that Notarial Certificate. Confirm any further foreign-authority requirement directly with the recipient.

Academic Transcript translation in Singapore β FAQ
Answers to the questions we are asked most often.
What translation route is required for an academic transcript in Singapore?
There is no one route for every receiving body. MOM's current Employment Pass guidance permits a translation service provider when the original and English translation are uploaded together. Universities and credential evaluators set their own requirements. For ICA, use its published official-translation routes; a Malaysia-issued transcript can use a translation notarised by a Malaysian Notary Public, while documents from elsewhere follow their issuing-country/place route or another ICA route.
How much does academic transcript translation cost in Singapore?
Pricing is quoted in Singapore Dollars per document, based on the language pair, transcript length, and the receiving authority's confirmed requirements. 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, and on the receiving authority's confirmed route. A typical transcript is ready within 2β4 working days for translation, with urgent options available. Any required Notary Public, SAL, embassy, or foreign-mission step is scheduled separately.
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.
