Frequently Asked Questions
Does WES (World Education Services) accept ELAN's translations?
ELAN provides certified translations that meet WES and other NACES-member agency requirements. WES requires translations to be completed by a qualified translator with a certification statement. Our court-authorized Perito Traductores meet this standard.
Do I need to translate my diploma, transcripts, or both?
Most US universities and credential evaluators require both the degree/diploma and the full academic transcript. We recommend translating the complete package. Contact us to discuss your specific institution's requirements.
How do you handle handwritten or historical academic documents?
Our translators are experienced with older Mexican academic document formats, including handwritten records from the 1970s-1990s. If a document has legibility issues, we will notify you before proceeding.
Can you translate degree-related documents for professional licensing in the US?
Yes. We regularly assist medical professionals, engineers, accountants, and nurses seeking US licensure. We understand the specific requirements of state licensing boards and credential evaluators.
What is the turnaround for a full academic package?
A standard diploma + transcript package typically takes 3-5 business days. Complex or multi-document packages may take longer. Urgent delivery is available — contact us directly.
