WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Argentine Diploma (Diploma / Título Universitario)
An Argentine university "diploma" or "título" is a large formal parchment naming the graduate, the "carrera," the degree conferred (e.g., "Abogado," "Contador Público," "Licenciado en..."), and the issuing institution — a public national university such as the UBA or a private one. Its legal weight comes from the "reconocimiento oficial y validez nacional" granted by the Ministerio de Educación, cited by a Resolución Ministerial number. Since 2018, legalization runs digitally through the DNGU's SIDCER system rather than paper endorsement. Diplomas often use ornate, abbreviated phrasing and carry rector/decano signatures and sellos that must all be rendered. For USCIS (H-1B, EB-2/EB-3, or O-1) the diploma alone rarely suffices — pair it with the certificado analítico for a credential evaluation, and translate the ministerial resolution and "validez nacional" wording so the evaluator sees the accreditation. Provide the certified English translation with the translator's competency statement; USCIS judges completeness, so every seal and signature line should appear.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Argentine Diploma Comes From
Argentine diplomas are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Argentina has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 1988, so documents are authenticated with a single apostille rather than consular legalization.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Argentine Diploma Translated
For your Argentine diploma, 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 Argentine original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Argentine Diploma Pitfalls
Argentine diplomas should have institution names, degree titles, and honors transliterated and labeled rather than 'converted' to a US equivalent — that judgment belongs to the credential evaluator (WES/NACES), not the translator.
Native Argentine Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Argentine diploma translation cost?
A standard Argentine diploma 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 Argentine diploma 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.
Do I need to apostille my Argentine documents before or after translation?
They are separate steps. Order the apostille from the Cancillería (or electronically through the TAD platform) for the original Spanish document, then send us the full apostilled document — we translate the acta and the apostille page together so USCIS sees both the record and its authentication in English.
