    High School Leaving Certificate Translation

    A high school leaving certificate confirms that secondary education was completed, and its subjects and grades are what universities and UK ENIC actually compare. The certificate itself is often issued by an exam board rather than by the school, and in systems such as India it sits alongside a separate marksheet. Both are translated, with the candidate's name, subject list and board name kept exactly as printed.

    What the Translation Covers

    • School and Board: The school, exam board or awarding body, and the certificate or roll number.

    • Subjects and Grades: Every subject and grade as printed, since admission and comparability depend on them.

    • Completion Date and Seal: The date of completion, the seal and the signatories.

    • Certification Page: the translator's name, credentials, date and a signed statement of accuracy for school-leaving certificates.

    Before You Order

    Secondary qualifications travel as a certificate plus a marksheet, and both are read together.

    • Certificate vs Marksheet: In many systems these are two documents; send both if the board issued them separately.

    • The Awarding Body: A school certificate and a board certificate are not the same; the name on the paper decides the wording.

    • UK ENIC Route: UK ENIC compares the qualification; the translation has to be faithful and complete.

    If the certificate lists subjects on the reverse, photograph that side too.

    Prices are per document and start at £40 — see what a translation costs.

    Frequently asked questions

    DHCTranslations translates secondary school certificates and marksheets into certified English for university admission, student visas and UK ENIC. The file comes back with a signed statement, normally the next working day.

    A school certificate is priced from £40 per document. Longer documents are charged from £0.09 per word after 400 words, and notarisation is added separately when the receiving body requires it.

    A certificate and marksheet pair is normally returned the same day when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day. If a UCAS or student visa deadline is close, give us the date with your quote.

    Yes. Universities and UK ENIC accept certified translations that are complete and carry a signed accuracy statement. Whether the qualification meets entry requirements is the university's decision, not the translator's. Check the current guidance for the course you are applying to.

    It is the document confirming completion of secondary education, issued under different names - SSC, HSC, WAEC, WASSCE, Abitur, Baccalauréat and their equivalents. The title on the paper decides how it is worded in translation.

    Yes. Where a board issues the certificate and the marksheet separately, both are translated, because admission and comparability need the subjects and grades from the marksheet as well as the completion date from the certificate.

    Yes, along with SSC, HSC, WASSCE, CBSE and ICSE certificates and their equivalents. The awarding body and subject list are reproduced exactly as printed.

    No. The certificate confirms completion; the marksheet or transcript lists the subjects and grades. They are separate documents and are usually submitted together.

    No. Clear scans or photographs of every page are enough. Keep the paper copies and we will send the certified English version as a PDF.

    Yes, if legalisation is required. We have the English translation notarised, and the FCDO apostille is then attached to that copy. The FCDO acts on UK documents or those a UK notary has certified, so an overseas school certificate is legalised in the country that issued it.
