WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Haitian Diploma (Diplôme d'État / Baccalauréat)
Haiti's secondary credential is the state diploma from the examens d'État, historically split into Baccalauréat 1ère partie (rhéto) and 2e partie (philo) and, since the recent reform, consolidated into the bac unique taken after Secondaire IV. Diplomas are issued and signed under the Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale et de la Formation Professionnelle (MENFP), not by the individual school; since 2023 the MENFP delivers legalized diplomas and relevés through an online E-Diploma platform bearing a verification code. University degrees (licence and above) come from institutions recognized by the MENFP's higher-education directorate. Everything is in French, and the exam session, série, and mention appear on the face. For a NACES credential evaluation or an H-1B or employment filing, our certified translation renders the exact title 'diplôme d'État' and its session rather than inventing a U.S. equivalent like 'high school diploma,' preserves the mention, and attaches the signed statement of accuracy so the evaluator and USCIS can match it to the transcript.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Haitian Diploma Comes From
Haitian diplomas 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 Diploma Translated
For your Haitian 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 Haitian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Haitian Diploma Pitfalls
Haitian 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 Haitian Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

USCIS Acceptance Guaranteed
If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we fix it free and cover your resubmission fee.
