Russian International Students Degree Certification Translation Process

With the increasing number of students studying in Russia, many returnees need to go through the degree certification process upon returning to China. The documents required for degree certification typically need to be translated into Chinese and certified to meet the standards set by the China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center (CDGDC). In this article, we will walk you through the process of translating Russian international students' degree certification documents and explain the steps involved.

1. Preparing the Relevant Documents

Before beginning the degree certification translation process, the necessary documents must be prepared. Commonly required documents include:

• Russian Degree Certificate: This includes bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree certificates.
• Transcripts: These must include official records of all courses taken during the study period.
• Passport Copy: Used to verify personal identity and passport information.
• Additional Verification Documents (such as admission letters, graduation certificates, etc.).

2. Choosing a Professional Translation Company

Since degree certification translations require high precision, particularly when it comes to translating degree certificates, transcripts, and other official documents, selecting a professional translation company is essential. Arrow Translation, with its extensive experience, offers degree certification translation services for Russian international students. Choosing a professional translation company ensures that the translation quality meets the necessary standards for certification.

3. Translating Russian Degree Documents

The core step in the degree certification translation process is translating the documents. Here are some aspects to consider during the translation process:

• Degree Certificate Translation: The degree certificate is one of the most important documents for degree certification, so it needs to be translated into Chinese with accuracy. Ensure that all details such as the degree title, graduation date, and institution name are translated correctly.

• Transcript Translation: Transcripts typically contain course names, credits, and grades, and it's important to ensure that professional terms and academic terminology are accurately translated. For courses with specialized terms, the translation company should confirm the terminology with the client to ensure accuracy.

• Certified Translation: To ensure the legality of the translated documents, all translated documents must go through certified translation. A certified translation provides a statement by the translation company ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the translation. This certification ensures the translation complies with legal and educational standards.

4. Translation Certification

Once the translation is completed, the next step is certification. This involves getting the translated documents certified to confirm their authenticity and correctness. In China, degree certification translations must be certified by the China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center (CDGDC). The translation company will provide a certification statement to confirm that the translation meets the required standards.

Arrow Translation provides certified translation services that include:

• Translation Statement: The translation company provides a statement confirming the accuracy of the translation.
• Notarization: In some cases, notarization may be required for the translation to ensure its legality and recognition in different countries.

5. Submitting Materials to the China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center

After translation and certification, the next step is to submit the translated documents along with the original documents to the CDGDC. Generally, students need to submit the following:

• Translated degree certificates, transcripts, and other relevant documents.
• A copy of the passport.
• Degree certification application form, available for download on the CDGDC website.
• Applicable fees, according to the CDGDC’s fee structure.

6. Waiting for Degree Certification Results

After submitting all materials, students need to wait for the degree certification results from the CDGDC. Typically, the degree certification process takes a few working days to several weeks, depending on the complexity of the documents and the workload. Ensuring that the translation is accurate can significantly increase the chances of the certification being approved.

7. Certification Success and Report Collection

Once the certification is approved, students can collect their degree certification report from the CDGDC. The certification report serves as an official validation of the degree and is especially useful for job applications, immigration, further education, and other professional purposes.
