Understanding Foreign Certificate Evaluation

What is Foreign Certificate Evaluation?

A foreign certificate evaluation assesses your overseas education against the equivalent level in another country, often required for university admissions, employment, and immigration.

Common issues include ordering the wrong evaluation type, incorrect translations, and missing official transcripts. We guide you to avoid these pitfalls.

Evaluation Types

Foreign Language → English

English → Foreign Language

University admissions often require a course-by-course evaluation to assess credit transfer and GPA.

Employment verification may need a document-by-document evaluation to confirm qualifications.

Professional licensing boards frequently request detailed course analysis for compliance.

Immigration processes often require specific evaluations tailored to the destination country’s requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Is a foreign certificate evaluation the same as a certified translation?

No, a certified translation converts documents into another language, while a foreign certificate evaluation assesses educational equivalency.

Do I need a NACES evaluation for the USA?

Many US institutions require evaluations from NACES-member organizations, but requirements vary.

What documents do I usually need for evaluations?

Typically, a degree certificate and academic transcripts are required, along with any additional documents specified by the institution.

How long does an evaluation take?

Turnaround times vary based on document type and provider, but we will provide a clear timeline upfront.

What must a certified translation include?

A certified translation must include a full translation of all visible text, a signed Certificate of Accuracy, and the translator’s full name, contact details, signature, and date. This is the standard required by USCIS, the UK Home Office, courts, and most official bodies.

Can I send a phone photo instead of a scanned PDF?

Yes. A clear photo is fine. We’ll confirm if it’s readable and advise if a better image is needed for any page before we start.

How much does a certified translation cost?

Pricing depends on document length, language pair, and turnaround. Short standard documents are typically priced per page; multi-page packs are quoted as a set. Send your file for a free quote.

Is my document kept confidential?

Yes. Your documents are handled securely and only shared with the linguists and reviewers needed to complete your translation project.
