WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Mexican Diploma (Titulo Profesional)
A Mexican university diploma is the titulo profesional, awarded by the issuing institution (UNAM, IPN, a state autonomous university, or an RVOE-authorized private school) after coursework, servicio social and the titulacion process. It shows the full name, the carrera/degree, the conferral date, and the rector's or director's signature over the institution's seal. Since October 2018 titulos are issued as electronic PDFs (titulo electronico) carrying a firma electronica and a unique folio, though many applicants still hold an engraved paper parchment. Separate from the diploma is the cedula profesional, the practice license registered by the SEP's Direccion General de Profesiones (DGP). For USCIS - an EB-2/EB-3, H-1B, or a professional-qualification showing - translate the degree name literally ('Licenciado en Derecho,' 'Ingeniero Civil') while leaving the U.S. equivalency to a credential evaluator, not the translator. Reproduce the institution's Latin motto and seal text, the folio, and every signatory title so the translated titulo matches the accompanying cedula and transcript.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Mexican Diploma Comes From
Mexican diplomas are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Mexico has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 1995, so a Mexican public document is authenticated with a single apostille — no U.S. embassy or consular legalization is needed.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Mexican Diploma Translated
For your Mexican 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 Mexican original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Mexican Diploma Pitfalls
Mexican 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 Mexican Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.
Format-Matched to the Original
The original layout, seals, and stamps reproduced in position.
USCIS Acceptance Guaranteed
If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we fix it free and cover your resubmission fee.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Mexican diploma translation cost?
A standard Mexican 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 Mexican 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 you translate the CURP, folio, and QR codes on the document?
The translation reproduces every element of the record — including the CURP, folio number, and any marginal notes — while seals, stamps, and QR codes are labeled and described rather than decoded. This keeps the English version a faithful mirror of the Spanish original, which is what USCIS expects.
