My new school says I need my degree translated into Chinese.

I'm in SH. Where do I get this done (an actual brick and mortar company or online)? And what should I be expecting to pay?

Thanks

I had to get some documents translated for my spouse to join me here. The most important thing is that the Chinese authorities recognize the translator. Your new employer or more likely the requesting government office should be able to tell you where to go. No sense in paying only to find out the translated document is not fit for purpose.

All these new regulations kind of make me reluctant to move to another employer here when the time comes.

The same people at the consulate who authenticated my degree translated it.

I believe that translation is part of the authentication process.

In the U.S., if you go elsewhere, be sure that the translator is certified by the ATA. Otherwise, the translation may be rejected.

I had my degree authenticated by my consulate here in Shanghai.

I've found a service that can translate the degree, not sure if it would be accepted for the job.

I have found a service that will do it, at a cost of $40/RMB300 for the degree translation.

Need to confirm if the warm bodies at desks in Guangdong will accept this.
