WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Ukrainian Diploma (Диплом бакалавра / магістра)
A Ukrainian higher-education diploma (Диплом бакалавра or магістра) has, since 2014, been issued as a plastic card by the university itself, printed bilingually in Ukrainian and English, and registered in ЄДЕБО — the Unified State Electronic Database on Education — where its serial number can be verified online. Older graduates carry Soviet or 1990s–2000s booklet diplomas, often Russian-language, with a separate insert. The diploma proper shows only the degree, specialty, and qualification; grades live on the separate Додаток (supplement). For USCIS H-1B, EB-2/EB-3, or a WES/ECE credential evaluation, the apostille is affixed separately by the Ministry of Education and Science in Kyiv — never by the university, regardless of the city that issued the diploma. Even though newer diplomas are bilingual, USCIS and evaluators still require a certified English translation of the Ukrainian side plus the seals, registration number, and apostille. We match the graduate's name transliteration to the passport and keep the ЄДЕБО number legible for verification.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Ukrainian Diploma Comes From
Ukrainian diplomas are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Yes — Ukraine has been a Hague Apostille Convention member since 2003, so documents for USCIS are authenticated with a single apostille rather than U.S. embassy or consular legalization.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Ukrainian Diploma Translated
For your Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Ukrainian Diploma Pitfalls
Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian 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.
