What a Nursing Credential File Needs
A CGFNS reviewer or a state board is checking that your training matches the hours and subjects they require. The translation has to make the totals easy to find, and it has to leave the school's own wording alone.
What the Translation Covers
-
Theory and Clinical Hours: Classroom and practical hours are translated as separate columns where the school separated them, with the totals where the school printed totals.
-
Subject Names: Local subject titles are translated to the US equivalent alongside the literal meaning, so a reviewer can map midwifery, community health and paediatric rotation to their own curriculum.
-
Registration and License: The council that registered you, the registration number and its validity dates are all rendered, because a lapsed registration and an active one look identical in translation otherwise.
-
Every Signature: Principal, registrar and nursing council signatures are described in place, with the seal noted where one is stamped across the page.
Before You Order
Nursing files are rejected over missing pages far more often than over wording, so the check at the start is worth the five minutes.
-
All Years of Training: The nursing program transcript in full, including the general education years if the school lists them on the same document.
-
Midwifery or Specialty Records: Where you hold a separate midwifery, psychiatric or public health qualification, send it as its own document so it can be certified separately.
-
The Board's Instructions: State boards differ on formatting and on who may certify, so send the instruction page and we will match it rather than assume.
Tell us if a school has closed, since a registrar's letter confirming the record is then part of the file.

What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for USCIS submissions, court filings and credential evaluations.
“The certificate had a validity date printed in the corner, and the translation named it so the visa office could see the record was still current.”
Temuulen B.
“The extract listed my parents and my spouse in one place, and the translator set out what each column meant so the caseworker stopped asking for a birth certificate.”
Aino V.
“The reference number and letterhead were reproduced exactly, and the admissions office took it without a question.”

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations translates nursing diplomas, transcripts and registration certificates for CGFNS applicants from our New York base, keeping the theory and clinical hours separate exactly as the school recorded them. Send the record and the price comes back before any work starts.
The split between classroom and clinical hours, the subjects studied, and confirmation that the qualification is a nursing qualification rather than a related one. Our translation keeps those columns where the school printed them, because combining them is what makes a file hard to assess.
From $54 at DHCTranslations for the diploma or the registration certificate, and $0.12 per word after the first 400 words for the transcript. A three-document set is normally two floor prices plus the transcript rate, and the total appears as one figure in the quote.
A diploma and registration certificate are usually returned by DHCTranslations the same business day when confirmed before 4pm ET. A full transcript with a clinical hours table takes one to two business days, and the set is delivered together with a single confirmed date.
The nursing diploma or degree, the complete transcript, the registration or license certificate from the nursing council, and any separate midwifery or specialty qualification. Some state boards also want a syllabus, and we only translate that when it has been asked for.
Yes, and we show the validity dates so the reviewer can see the position for themselves. An expired registration is a fact about the document rather than an error in the translation, and hiding it would create a problem later in the process.
Yes. Where a reviewer needs the hours by subject and the transcript only gives totals, the syllabus is the document that carries the detail. It is priced per word, so send it once and we will quote it with the rest of the set rather than separately.
It goes to you, and you upload it to your CGFNS file. That is what most applicants do, and it means you can check the certificate before it is submitted. If a board requires the provider to send it, tell us and we will do that instead.
That is normal for applicants educated outside the United States, and the translation is what makes the record readable to a reviewer. If the document mixes two languages, both are translated and the original wording is noted where a term has no exact equivalent.
Usually not, because the translation describes your education rather than the board you are applying to. Where a board specifies its own certification wording, we reissue the statement in that form, and the translation itself does not have to be bought again.
