Certified translations for UK ENIC

Translating academic documents from Romanian into English is a crucial step for students and professionals seeking recognition of their qualifications abroad. Whether you are applying for further studies, professional registration, or employment, obtaining a certificate of comparison from NARIC (National Academic Recognition Information Centre) often requires precise and certified translations of your diplomas and transcripts carried out by an authorised translator. This guide explains the process, highlights key documents, and clarifies the role of certified translators authorized by relevant institutions.

Understanding the Importance of a Certified Translation and using the services of an authorised translator for UK ENIC, previously UK NARIC

UK ENIC provides official recognition and comparison of foreign qualifications to the local education system. For Romanian academic credentials, this means submitting documents translated into English to verify their equivalence abroad. Without accurate translations, your qualifications may not be properly assessed, delaying or preventing your academic or professional progress.

Key reasons for translation include:

• Verification of academic level

• Assessment of course content and grades

• Compliance with foreign education or professional standards

  
  

Institutions like universities, licensing bodies, and professional councils rely on these authorised translations to make informed decisions.

Which Academic Documents Need Certified Translation?

Several types of academic documents from Romania require translation for NARIC certification. The most common include:

• Diploma de Bacalaureat (Baccalaureate Diploma)

• Diploma de Licență (Bachelor’s Degree)

• Diploma de Master (Master’s Degree)

• Foaia matricolă sau Suplimentul la Diplomă (Transcript of Grades or Diploma Supplements)

  
  

Each document serves a specific purpose in demonstrating your educational background. For example, the diploma confirms the qualification earned, while the transcript or diploma supplement details the courses completed and grades obtained.

Special Requirements for Medical and Nursing Professionals

If you are a medical or nursing professional, such as a doctor or nurse, institutions like the General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK require all your academic and professional documents to be translated into English by a certified translator. This includes:

• Medical diplomas

• Nursing and midwifery diplomas

• Transcripts or detailed course descriptions

• Professional licenses or certificates

  
  

The translation must be certified by a translator authorized by the Romanian Embassy and recognized by the Chartered Institute of Linguists. This ensures the translation is legally valid and accepted by regulatory bodies.
