Employers, professional licensing boards, and academic institutions use credential assessments to evaluate foreign degrees. A certified translation is always the first step.
Certified Translation for Credential Assessment and Professional Recognition
Foreign professionals seeking to have their academic and professional credentials recognized in the U.S. must submit certified English translations of their degrees, transcripts, and professional certificates to credential assessment organizations and state licensing boards. Official Translations provides certified translations accepted by all major credential assessment services and state regulatory bodies. Order your credential translation today.
Engineers, architects, nurses, pharmacists, and other licensed professionals commonly need credential assessments before they can be licensed in a U.S. state. The assessment process starts with a certified translation of all academic and professional documents. For transcript-specific translation and evaluation, see our transcript evaluation translation page. For specific professional license applications, see our professional license translation page.
