WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Bolivian Academic Transcript (Historial Académico / Certificado de Calificaciones)
Bolivian transcripts come in two forms. Secondary records are the Certificado de Calificaciones / Libreta escolar drawn from the Ministerio de Educación's RUDE system; university records are the Historial Académico or Certificado de Notas (often called the kardex) issued by the university's registry office. The decisive nuance for USCIS and evaluators like WES is Bolivia's grading scale: marks run 1–100, with 51/100 the usual passing mark, and grades are frequently spelled out too ('cincuenta y uno'). Translators must keep these numbers literal and never 'convert' them into letter grades or a 4.0 GPA — that misrepresents the record and is the evaluator's task. Subject names ('Ciencias Sociales,' 'Lenguaje,' 'Matemática') and per-year or per-semester structuring should be preserved exactly, along with the annual promotion status. We translate every course line, credit/hour column, seals and registrar signatures ([SEAL]/[SIGNATURE]), and note the institution and gestión (academic year), then certify completeness for USCIS and credential-evaluation use.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Bolivian Academic Transcript Comes From
Bolivian academic transcripts are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Bolivia has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since it entered into force on May 7, 2018, so Bolivian public documents are authenticated with a single apostille — an electronic apostilla issued by the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores (Cancillería) — with no US embassy or consular legalization required.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Bolivian Academic Transcript Translated
For your Bolivian academic transcript, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Bolivian original.

Common Bolivian Academic Transcript Pitfalls
Bolivian transcripts must preserve every subject, grade, credit, and the original grading scale so an evaluator can convert them; dropping the scale or rounding grades invites a rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Bolivian academic transcript translation cost?

Is your Bolivian academic transcript translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we correct it free and reimburse your resubmission fee.
My birth certificate is an old handwritten partida — can you still translate it?
Absolutely. Many pre-2009 SERECI records and parish-transcribed partidas are handwritten with department-by-department variations, and our native-Spanish specialists transcribe them faithfully, flag anything illegible rather than guess, and preserve the two-surname (paterno/materno) structure USCIS expects.
