WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Vietnamese Academic Transcript (Bảng điểm)
Vietnamese academic records come in two forms: the university Bảng điểm (transcript) and the secondary-school Học bạ, a handwritten grade book kept over several years. Both use a 0–10 scale where 10 is almost never awarded and roughly 7.5 already places a student near the top — a grading reality evaluators misread if the translator 'helps' by converting scores. Under Circular 08/2021/TT-BGDDT many universities now print a 10-point mark, a letter grade, and a 4.0 point together; older transcripts show only the 10-point figure plus a classification (Xuất sắc, Giỏi, Khá). A genuine original carries the registrar's signature and a red institutional stamp, since Vietnamese schools rarely release transcripts directly. For USCIS filings and credential evaluations, our certified translation reproduces every course, credit, and 10-point score exactly as written — never rounding or re-scaling to a U.S. GPA — and notes the classification, leaving the conversion to the evaluator so the certified translation and the evaluation never contradict each other.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Vietnamese Academic Transcript Comes From
Vietnamese academic transcripts are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Vietnam acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 31 December 2025, and it enters into force for Vietnam on 11 September 2026; documents authenticated on or after that date carry a single apostille (issued in Vietnam by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Cục Lãnh sự), replacing the former multi-step consular legalization through the U.S. Mission.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Vietnamese Academic Transcript Translated
For your Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese original.

Common Vietnamese Academic Transcript Pitfalls
Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Vietnamese academic transcript translation cost?
A standard Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese 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 my Vietnamese birth certificate need an apostille before USCIS will accept it?
For most USCIS filings, no — USCIS requires a complete, certified English translation of the record, not authentication of the original. Vietnam's accession to the Hague Apostille Convention takes effect on 11 September 2026, so where authentication is separately required (for example, consular immigrant-visa processing), a single apostille now replaces the old consular-legalization chain.
