Submitting a degree certificate for a WES evaluation — what translation and certification applies?

The scope of this answer is “Submitting a degree certificate for a WES evaluation”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. Once the set is complete, check it line by line against the destination's own checklist before filing. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. Before starting, verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation. The specifics here are document type: Degree, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · degree · certificate · evaluation. ILC handles documents, translation, certification and coordination only. It is not an evaluation body, not an agent of one, and it guarantees no assessment outcome. What a team that has handled cross-border document files for more than 15 years does add is a pre-lodgement check against the receiving body's own checklist, the correct order of steps from the start, and translations and certifications in the format that body accepts. WES (World Education Services) is a widely used evaluation organisation for the United States and Canada. Its core requirement is that the issuing institution sends the transcript and proof of completion directly to WES through the channel WES lists for that country, and that non-English documents are accompanied by a complete translation together with the original. Most delays come from doing the steps in the wrong order rather than from the translation itself — translating before the institution has issued the official set, or paying for consular certification before the receiving body has confirmed which layer it wants. Send us the receiving body's requirement page first and ILC will map the whole file: obtaining the documents, the translation, each certification layer and the dispatch, as an adviser through the case rather than a translation desk. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving evaluation body sets, so every file is quoted before work starts.
