WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Nicaraguan Diploma (Título)
A Nicaraguan university diploma (Titulo) is issued by a CNU-member university and recorded in the Registro Nacional de Titulos y Grados Academicos, maintained by the Consejo Nacional de Universidades (CNU); the award is also published in La Gaceta, Diario Oficial, and CNU universities must now issue titles within 45 business days. Secondary diplomas — the 'Bachiller en Ciencias y Letras' — come through MINED, and technical titles through INATEC. The titulo itself is usually a single ornate sheet in formal script, naming the degree in Nicaraguan nomenclature (Licenciado/a, Ingeniero/a, Arquitecto/a) and citing the resolution and Gaceta publication data. Authentication runs university, then CNU, then MINREX apostille. For USCIS H-1B or EB-2/EB-3 petitions and the credential evaluations behind them, the translator must reproduce the exact degree title, field, conferral date, and university name — evaluators map these to U.S. equivalents, so an imprecise rendering of 'Licenciatura' or a missing Gaceta reference can stall an I-140.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Nicaraguan Diploma Comes From
Nicaraguan diplomas are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Nicaragua joined the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since 14 May 2013), so its public documents are authenticated with a single apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) rather than US embassy/consular legalization.

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

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Nicaraguan diploma translation cost?
A standard Nicaraguan 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 Nicaraguan 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.
Does USCIS require an apostille on my Nicaraguan documents, or just a certified translation?
USCIS itself does not require an apostille. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) it requires a complete English translation accompanied by the translator's signed Certificate of Accuracy. An apostille from MINREX proves the document's authenticity and is often requested by consulates or courts, but for a USCIS filing the certified translation is the essential piece. Translation HelpDesk provides that certified translation; you obtain any apostille separately in Nicaragua.
