Where it gets filed

A career, crossing a border on paper.

Nurses, engineers, teachers, physicians, electricians — every regulated profession re-verifies its members at the border. The license translation is where that process starts, and boards read it with the skepticism of people whose job is gatekeeping.

US licensing boards

Endorsement and examination pathways both begin with proof of the foreign license. Boards check scope, standing, and dates — and their checklists specify certified translation.

Employers and credentialing

Hospitals, districts, and firms credential foreign-licensed hires before start dates. A certified translation moves the file through credentialing without a verification detour.

Immigration petitions

Employment-based petitions for licensed professionals lean on the license as evidence of qualification. Officers match it against the degree and the job offer.

Credential evaluators

Profession-specific evaluations read the license alongside transcripts and course content. Consistent renderings across all three keep the evaluation clean.

What gets translated

Scope and standing, stated without inflation.

A license is a definition of what you may do. Translating it demands the same discipline as the degree: state exactly what was granted, and let the board decide what it maps to.

  • Title and scope, as granted

    Your professional title and permitted scope rendered as your regulator defines them — never upgraded to the nearest US title, which is the board’s call.

  • Registration numbers

    License and registry numbers reproduced exactly — the fields boards use for source verification.

  • Validity and standing

    Issue, renewal, and expiry dates, plus any standing or status lines, carried across precisely.

  • Conditions and annotations

    Restrictions, specializations, and disciplinary annotations translated in place — omitting one is falsification, and boards verify at the source.

  • Regulator’s marks

    Seals, signatures, and verification features of the issuing authority described where they appear.

  • Good-standing letters

    The companion letter boards often require, translated certified alongside the license itself.

What you receive

  • A signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy meeting USCIS requirements.
  • Formatting that mirrors the original: stamps, seals, tables and signatures.
  • One PDF, ready to file, kept in your dashboard for re-download.
  • The exact total shows before you pay. We count words instead of rounding up to pages, so a short document costs less than a dense one.

Every file and session is covered by an NDA and sent over an encrypted connection. Clinical matters are handled in line with HIPAA.

Before you order

What boards check before they call you licensed.

The license rarely travels alone

Board checklists typically want the license, a good-standing or verification letter from your regulator, and the transcripts behind the qualification. Order what the checklist names as one package — the consistency is part of what gets approved.

Titles are false friends

The same word names different professions in different systems — a “technician” there may be an “engineer” here, or the reverse. We translate the title your regulator granted and gloss it literally, so the board maps it deliberately instead of by accident.

Expired can still be useful

Some pathways credit past licensure even when the license has lapsed. The translation states dates and standing exactly as issued; whether history counts is the board’s rule, so check the pathway before deciding what to translate.

FAQ

The questions that actually come up.

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01Will a US licensing board accept your translation?

Yes. Boards receive a complete certified translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, with scope and standing rendered exactly as the regulator issued them. If your board publishes its own translation requirements, tell us and we match the format.

02Can you translate my title as its US equivalent so the board understands it?

We render the title as granted and add a literal gloss — not a US equivalency, which only the board can assign. This is the same discipline evaluators demand on degrees, and it is why board reviewers trust the document instead of re-verifying every line.

03My license has a disciplinary note I would rather not include.

The translation must be complete — an omitted annotation is a falsified document, and boards verify with the issuing regulator anyway. What we can do is render the note precisely, so the board reads exactly what happened rather than something worse-sounding.

04The board wants a verification letter sent directly from my regulator. Can you still help?

Yes — direct-verification pathways still need your own copies translated for the application file, and if your regulator’s letter is in another language, the board will want it certified in English too. We translate both ends of that exchange.

05How is the price calculated?

By word count. Upload the license and any letters, we count the words, and the exact total shows before you pay — starting at $24.95. License documents are short; most orders stay near the starting price.

06How fast can I get it for a credentialing deadline?

Rush delivery is available when a start date or board meeting is close. The quote commits to the delivery time before you pay.
