WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Ghanaian Academic Transcript (Academic Transcript / WASSCE Statement of Results)
Two Ghanaian "transcripts" reach USCIS and evaluators. Secondary results come from the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) as the WASSCE certificate or a "Statement of Results," graded A1–F9 by subject. University transcripts come from the institution's Academic Affairs or Records office and list courses with a Cumulative Weighted Average (CWA) or GPA and the honours classification. Both are printed in English, so translation is typically not required; the real service is a certified transcription of a low-resolution or watermarked WAEC print, or certified rendering of any grade key or Latin honours note. Ghanaian grading needs care: WASSCE A1 is the top grade (not a fail), and KNUST/Legon use a CWA percentage rather than a 4.0 scale — we reproduce the grade legend verbatim so an evaluator does not misread the scale. We keep the WAEC index/examination number and year exactly, since evaluators verify results against WAEC's portal, and any mismatch stalls the I-140 or student-visa file.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Ghanaian Academic Transcript Comes From
Ghanaian academic transcripts are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Ghana is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so its documents cannot be apostilled; where a receiving authority requires legalization, the record is first authenticated by Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration in Accra and then legalized by the destination country's embassy (the U.S. Embassy in Accra for U.S. use).

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Ghanaian Academic Transcript Translated
For your Ghanaian 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 Ghanaian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Ghanaian Academic Transcript Pitfalls
Ghanaian 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.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Ghanaian academic transcript translation cost?
A standard Ghanaian academic transcript is typically $15-25 total, certified and formatted, delivered in 24-48 hours. Pricing is $0.05 per word; longer or multi-page documents are quoted exactly before you pay.
Is your Ghanaian 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.
Does Ghana issue an apostille for USCIS documents?
No. Ghana is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so no apostille is available. For USCIS you generally don't need legalization at all — just a legible copy plus, where any non-English text appears, a certified English translation meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Full consular legalization (Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the U.S. Embassy in Accra) is only necessary if a specific authority outside USCIS requires it.
