WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Honduran Academic Transcript (Certificación de Estudios / Certificado de Notas)
The transcript is the Certificación de Estudios or Certificado de Notas. For secondary school it is issued by the plantel and drawn from the Secretaría de Educación's SACE system (Sistema de Administración de Centros Educativos), then authenticated first by the Dirección Departamental de Educación of the department where the school sits and again by the Secretaría de Educación in Tegucigalpa. University transcripts (historial académico / certificación de notas) come from the registrar of UNAH or the private university. Grades are numeric on a 1–100 scale, and the translator should preserve the numbers rather than invent letter equivalents; note that Honduras raised the secondary passing mark in recent reforms, so the passing threshold should be shown, not assumed. Subjects appear as asignaturas by grado and año. For USCIS-linked credential evaluations, the certified English translation must keep the numeric grades, the SACE or institutional codes, subject names, and the chain of authentication stamps intact, since evaluators like WES map the 1–100 scale themselves and reject transcripts whose stamps or grades were paraphrased.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Honduran Academic Transcript Comes From
Honduran academic transcripts are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Honduras is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since December 30, 2004), so a single apostille from the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores y Cooperación Internacional authenticates Honduran public documents for use in the United States—no U.S. consular legalization is required.

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

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Honduran academic transcript translation cost?
A standard Honduran 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 Honduran 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 my Honduran birth certificate to be apostilled?
No. USCIS requires a complete English translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, not an apostille. Honduras is a Hague Apostille member, so you can obtain an apostille from the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores if another authority in your case asks for it, but USCIS itself does not require it—we provide the certified translation that USCIS does require.
