Answers before you begin.

A credential evaluation compares academic qualifications earned outside the United States with U.S. education standards. It helps a receiving organization understand the level and content of a foreign credential.

A Summary Report provides a general U.S. equivalency. A Course-by-Course Analysis includes individual courses, credits, grades, and GPA information. Confirm the receiving organization's requirements before applying.

Most applicants provide transcripts or academic records, a diploma or degree certificate, and certified English translations when documents were not issued in English. IIC may request additional records after review.

Apply online and upload your documents, or download the fillable PDF and submit it with your documents by email or mail.

Standard processing is 21 business days. Optional rush choices range from 15 business days to 24 hours. Any processing timeline begins after IIC receives the complete application, required documents, and payment.

Requirements vary. Confirm that the school, employer, licensing board, attorney, government office, or other receiving organization accepts an IIC evaluation and ask which report type it requires.

We accept payment in U.S. dollars by money order, check, cash, or Zelle. After reviewing your application, IIC will provide the applicable total and payment instructions. Evaluation work begins after all required documents and full payment are received. If you cancel before IIC begins evaluation work, IIC will refund the amount paid, less a $35 administrative fee. Once evaluation work begins, evaluation and rush-processing fees are non-refundable.
