Diploma, Transcript, and School Certificate Translation in Estonia (Sworn Translation)
Sworn translation of diplomas, diploma supplements, and school certificates is one of the most needed services in Estonia. These translations are required for university admission, residence permit applications, employment, and recognition of education (nostrification, ENIC/NARIC).
At IDEE Tõlkebüroo translation agency, we provide document translations for submission both in Estonia and abroad — always taking into account the specific requirements of the receiving institution.
Which documents are translated
Most commonly we the customers want their diploma, diploma supplement (transcript/grades), school certificate, grade transcript to be translated.
NB! If only the diploma/school certificate is translated without the supplement, the documents may not be accepted.
Main reasons for rejection are: incorrect translation format, missing supplement or grades, missing apostille (if required), formatting or wrong certification.
Requirements may vary depending on the institution. We always specify where the documents will be submitted and select the correct translation format accordingly.
