Hi everybody, I am a recent graduate and due to the pandemic my bachelor’s degree was issued via Blockcerts and not physically.  
Now I am applying for a master’s degree in another country but they won’t accept my Blockcerts degree because it cannot be translated (its original language is Spanish). I have searched a lot through the internet but had no luck finding much information about this.  
Does anybody know if the original certificate can be translated to english?

Thank you 🙂

Hi,

as such you won’t be able to translate the diploma and keep it valid (any modification to the document itself renders it void).

I only see 2 options: talk to the issuing entity to see what they can do to issue the diploma in English, or look up some options to provide a certified translation (maybe digital too?) of your diploma.

Good luck
