UT Arlington and transcripts from other countries

The University of Texas at Arlington tells applicants with transcripts from non-U.S. institutions that they are required to upload those transcripts to Foreign Credentials Service of America (FCSA) for review. UTA’s admissions page says FCSA collects a $90.00 processing fee at the time of upload, and that the requirement applies to international first-year and international transfer applicants.

Check the FCSA instructions for how a transcript that is not in English must be translated before you order, since the evaluator sets that requirement.

Texas apostille route for Arlington documents

An Arlington birth certificate, a Tarrant County marriage record or a notarized translation headed to another country may need an apostille. These come from one place, the Texas Secretary of State.

What to send. Form 2102, the document, and $15 per document. The fee is charged per document, not per page.
Where. Authentications Unit, 400 West 15th Street, Austin, TX 78701. Requests are accepted by mail or in person.
Timing. The Secretary of State says mailed requests can take up to two weeks from the day of receipt, depending on volume. In-person customers are limited to ten documents.
Translation rule. The translator must sign a statement in front of a notary, and the notarized translation has to include the original document or a copy of it.
Limits. Documents must be issued in Texas or notarized by a Texas notary public. The office cannot apostille federal documents such as Certificates of Naturalization.

Courts that serve Arlington

Cases beyond the municipal court are heard by Tarrant County’s district courts, county courts at law and probate courts in Fort Worth. Court records, including divorce decrees, are held by the Tarrant County District Clerk at 100 N. Calhoun St., Fort Worth, TX 76196.

When a foreign language document is evidence in a Texas court, Rule of Evidence 1009 applies. The side offering a translation serves it with a qualified translator’s affidavit no later than 45 days before trial; the other side has until 15 days before trial to serve an objection to its accuracy. Tell us when a translation is for litigation so the translator’s affidavit can be prepared, and have your attorney confirm the wording the court expects.

Our translators cover 100 languages, and the most requested are Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic and Czech.

For USCIS, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation of any foreign language document, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, together with a statement that the translator is competent to translate from that language into English. We supply that certification with each certified translation. Whether a filing is approved is up to the agency.
