Haitian College Application Translation
Haitian college application translation to English for a student applying from Port-au-Prince or Cap-Haïtien, or from a Florida high school with records that stayed in Haiti. An application pulls together papers in two languages: the lycée's French bulletins and the MENFP results, and the Creole letters a pastor, a teacher or an employer wrote. We translate all of it under one certification.

Written for Haitian Creole college application records
The Haitian application file, paper by paper
US admissions offices want the whole secondary record, proof of funds and someone who vouches for you, and a Haitian file supplies each from a different place.
Year names that confuse a US reader
A Haitian secondary record runs from 7e année fondamentale through Secondaire IV, and many schools still label the years Troisième, Seconde, Rhéto and Philo. An admissions reader who sees Philo assumes a philosophy course rather than the final year. We translate the year names literally and add the US grade in brackets, so Secondaire IV reads as the twelfth-grade year, and we do the same for the attestation de scolarité the school writes to confirm enrolment.
The Creole letters
Recommendation letters are the part of the file most often in Creole. A pastor, a teacher at a community school or a small business owner writes in Kreyòl, by hand, often switching into French for the formal closing. We translate in the writer's voice and keep the register, so a letter from a pastor in Carrefour reads like a pastor and not like a form. A personal statement drafted in Creole is translated the same way, with the student told which sentences shifted in English.
Proof of funds and identity for the I-20
An F-1 applicant needs the school to issue an I-20, and that takes proof of funds: an attestation de solde from Unibank, Sogebank or the BNC, in French, with balances in gourdes and often in US dollars, plus the sponsor's letter and CIN. A minor adds an autorisation parentale. The student's identity comes from the extrait des archives. We translate the attestation with its amounts as printed, never converted, and the sponsor's letter whether it was written in French or Creole, so the designated school official has one English packet.
Who is asking for your Haitian Creole college application translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
Universities and admissions offices
Admissions offices accept a certified translation they can read next to the original. A PDF is usually enough; ask for a hard copy if they want one.
Credential evaluators
WES, ECE and similar services ask for a word-for-word certified translation of each page, sent alongside the official transcript.
ECFMG and medical boards
Applicants to US medical programs send transcripts and diplomas through ECFMG, which asks for an English translation of every document that is not in English.
Before you upload
Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Haitian Creole college application.
Send the whole packet in one order
Transcripts, the diploma, recommendation letters and the grading scale travel together. One order keeps the names, dates and course titles consistent across every page.
Separate the records from your essays
Admissions offices want official records translated word for word. Essays and statements are usually written in English by the applicant, so upload only what the school will read as evidence.
Count on more than one page per sheet
A transcript or a course description holds a lot of text. The quote counts words, not sheets, so a dense sheet may price as two or three pages.
Details and pricing
What is included in a Haitian Creole college application translation
One price per page covers the translation and its certification. A page is up to 250 words, and the quote tells you the page count before you pay.

Haitian Creole College Application FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- Do you translate bulletins for all the secondary years or just the last one?
- Translate what the college asks for, which is usually the last three or four years. Most ask for Secondaire I to IV, or Seconde through Philo under the old names, plus the bac relevé. Each bulletin is one or two pages at $25 a page, so four years of trimester bulletins can add up. Send the whole set and we quote the exact page count before you pay.
- The recommendation letter is handwritten in Creole. Can you translate it, and does it count as certified?
- Yes on both. We read handwritten Kreyòl, including older French-style spellings and the French closings writers add. The translation carries the same signed certification as a school record, and the letter is priced per page of up to 250 words. If a word is unreadable, the translation marks it rather than guessing, and we tell you so you can ask the writer.
- Do I send the translation to the college or to a credential evaluator?
- Ask each admissions office. Some read a certified translation of the bulletins and the bac relevé themselves; others, often state universities, want a course-by-course evaluation from an agency such as WES, ECE or Josef Silny, which then asks you for the translation. One certified translation serves both, so you only order it once.
- How much does a certified translation cost?
- Certified translation is $25 per page, with a page counted as up to 250 words. Notarization, a mailed physical copy and an apostille are optional and priced separately.
- How long does a certified translation take?
- Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours and depends on the length and language of your documents. If you have a deadline, include it in your quote request.
