WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Bolivian Diploma (Diploma Académico / Título en Provisión Nacional)
Bolivia separates academic credentials into tiers, and USCIS credential evaluators usually want the right one translated. Secondary graduates receive the Diploma de Bachiller, issued through the Ministerio de Educación via the departmental Dirección Departamental de Educación (formerly SEDUCA). University graduates hold two distinct documents: the Diploma Académico, granted by the university itself (UMSA, UAGRM, UMSS, and others), and the Título en Provisión Nacional (TPN), the legally recognized professional title issued in the name of the State through the Ministerio de Educación. For credential evaluations and H-1B or NIW filings, both the Diploma Académico and the TPN typically must be translated together, since the TPN is what confers professional standing. The Spanish names degree levels — 'Licenciatura,' 'Técnico Superior' — that should be rendered but not converted into U.S. equivalents (that is the evaluator's job). We reproduce university seals, rector/decano signatures, and the folio and registration numbers as [SEAL]/[SIGNATURE], certifying to USCIS standard for use with WES or comparable agencies.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Bolivian Diploma Comes From
Bolivian diplomas are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Bolivia has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since it entered into force on May 7, 2018, so Bolivian public documents are authenticated with a single apostille — an electronic apostilla issued by the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores (Cancillería) — with no US embassy or consular legalization required.

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

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Bolivian diploma translation cost?
A standard Bolivian 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 Bolivian 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.
My Bolivian document already has an apostille — do I still need a certified translation for USCIS?
Yes, they are two separate steps. The apostille from Bolivia's Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores authenticates that the document is genuine, but USCIS still requires a complete English translation accompanied by a signed Certificate of Accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). We provide the certified translation; the apostille, if your specific case needs it, is obtained in Bolivia.
