WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Haitian Academic Transcript (Relevé de notes)
A Haitian transcript is the relevé de notes (secondary) or the relevé/bulletin de notes issued by a university registrar; higher-education institutions must be among those recognized by the MENFP's Direction de l'Enseignement Supérieur. Records are written in French and graded on the French-style scale (marks out of 10 or 20) with a mention — Passable, Assez Bien, Bien, Très Bien — rather than letter grades or a GPA. Copies conformes certified by the issuing institution are common, and for state exams the MENFP now legalizes relevés through its online E-Certificate system. For NACES evaluation and USCIS filings, our certified translation keeps the numeric scale and mention intact — we translate 'Très Bien' faithfully and never silently convert marks to an American 4.0 GPA, which evaluators reject. We render each course title, the credit or coefficient, and the institution's stamp, then attach the translator's certification of competence and accuracy so the relevé lines up cleanly with the diploma it accompanies.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Haitian Academic Transcript Comes From
Haitian academic transcripts are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Haiti is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so its documents cannot be apostilled; when authentication is needed they follow the traditional legalization chain — first legalized by Haiti's Ministère des Affaires Étrangères et des Cultes (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and then by the Haitian consular section or the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Haitian Academic Transcript Translated
For your Haitian 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 Haitian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Haitian Academic Transcript Pitfalls
Haitian 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.
Native Haitian Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Haitian academic transcript translation cost?
A standard Haitian 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 Haitian 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 USCIS require an apostille on my Haitian documents?
No. Haiti is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so Haitian documents cannot be apostilled, and USCIS does not require one — it asks for a complete, certified English translation with a Certificate of Accuracy. If a document needs legalization for a separate purpose, that is handled through Haiti's Ministère des Affaires Étrangères, not an apostille.
