Certified Chinese (Traditional) diploma translation for USCIS.

Diplomas issued by Chinese (Traditional)-speaking jurisdictions are among the most-translated civil documents in US uscis filings. Diploma and degree certificate translation for US admissions, licensing boards, and credential evaluations.

Traditional Chinese is the writing system used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau for civil status records, household registration (戶籍謄本), court documents, and academic transcripts. Verdacert translates Taiwanese household certificates, Hong Kong birth and marriage records, and academic credentials — with reviewers calibrated to the documentary conventions of each jurisdiction. Verdacert's reviewer pool covers Taiwanese Mandarin (Guoyu), Hong Kong Traditional Chinese, Macau Traditional Chinese, with country-specific document conventions from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau.

Taiwanese household certificates (戶籍謄本) record an entire household's relationships and are translated as a single integrated document. Hong Kong civil documents are commonly bilingual (Traditional Chinese + English); the certified translation reconciles both source versions. Names are transcribed using the romanization on the original document (Wade-Giles, Yale, or the holder's preferred spelling) — Verdacert respects existing spellings from prior immigration paperwork. Taiwanese documents may use the Republic of China (Minguo) calendar (year 1 = 1912); Verdacert converts to Gregorian for US filings and retains the original date in parentheses.

USCIS requires that any non-English document submitted in support of an immigration petition be accompanied by a full English translation, plus a signed statement from a competent translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. Verdacert's certification statement is drafted to meet this requirement exactly. The applicable standard is 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3).

For diploma translations specifically, our reviewers focus on honorific titles and latin terms and religious/state institution distinctions. The AI draft is calibrated to surface uncertainty rather than guess, so the reviewer always knows where to spend their attention.

Every translation we deliver includes a signed certification statement, a faithful transcription of every field on the source, descriptions of all seals and stamps, and explicit [illegible] markers anywhere the source is unreadable rather than a guess. The reviewer signs the certification under their own name.
