WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Turkish Diploma (Diploma)
A Turkish university "Diploma" is signed by the rektör and dean, embossed with the university seal, and governed by YÖK (Yükseköğretim Kurulu, Council of Higher Education); high-school diplomas come from MEB (Ministry of National Education). Diplomas are usually Turkish-only, so USCIS filings (H-1B, EB-2/EB-3, or a credential evaluation) need a certified English translation that renders the degree level precisely: "Lisans" = bachelor's, "Ön Lisans" = associate, "Yüksek Lisans" = master's, "Doktora" = doctorate. Before the engraved diploma is ready, graduates hold a "Geçici Mezuniyet Belgesi" (temporary graduation certificate) — valid and translatable, but flag it as provisional. Many diplomas now carry a bilingual "Diploma Eki" (Europass Diploma Supplement), and graduation can be verified through the e-Devlet "Yükseköğretim Mezun Belgesi" barcode. The translator must transliterate the faculty (fakülte) and department (bölüm), keep the Turkish diploma number, and reproduce every seal and signature block; the field-of-study wording should match the transcript so the credential evaluator's report stays internally consistent.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Turkish Diploma Comes From
Turkish diplomas are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Turkey has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 1985, so its documents receive an apostille rather than embassy legalization. Full Turkey apostille & authentication guidance →
USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Turkish Diploma Translated
For your Turkish 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 Turkish original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Turkish Diploma Pitfalls
Turkish 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 Turkish 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.
