Professional License Translation services
Your credentials carry over

You earned the right to practice. Don't lose it in translation.

Your professional license is the proof of everything you worked for, the years of study and the legal right to practice medicine, law, teaching, or accounting. When you move abroad, file for immigration, or submit your credentials to a licensing board, that license has to be translated and certified before anyone will recognize it.

Get the translation wrong, or submit one that is not certified, and the doors do not open. Applications get delayed. Boards reject the file. In the worst case, your professional standing goes unrecognized in the place where you want to build your career, and you wait months to try again.

Credentials recognized

Certified translation that gets your credentials recognized

For professional licenses, a certified translation runs $24.10 per page and reaches you inside 48 hours. You get as many revisions as the document needs, plus a 100% acceptance guarantee standing behind it. That guarantee is your safety net: if a receiving authority needs a change, we make it.

Immigration authorities, courts, and licensing boards accept our certified work. That list includes the American Bar Association (ABA); ECFMG, which reviews foreign-trained medical graduates; FSMB, the body for state medical boards; and NASBA, which serves state accountancy boards. That certification is what allows these bodies to act on your license rather than return it. The certification is what lets these bodies act on your license instead of returning it.

More than 255K people have come to us, leaving 25K verified five-star reviews along the way, and clients around the globe count on us for certified work that is quick and exact. We work in 120+ languages, securely online, with pricing shown upfront.

I purchased a translation on Friday and expected a 24-hour turnaround but also ordered a notary not knowing it wasn't part of the estimated time. Unsurprisingly I needed it immediately. I emailed support and within a few hours, it was completely signed and notarized! Hats off to y'all!

Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear answers to the questions people most often ask about working with us. See how the workflow runs, what it costs, how long it takes, where documents are accepted, which notarization choices exist, and the way finished files reach you.

Do I need a certified translation of my foreign professional license for license reciprocity or a work visa?

Yes. A license issued in another language has to be translated and certified for license reciprocity, employment verification, work visa applications, and immigration. The board or employer needs to verify your credentials, and certified translation is the standard way to document foreign professional qualifications.

Our certified translation comes with a signed statement of accuracy, which is the part credentialing bodies and USCIS look for.

Will boards like the ABA, ECFMG, FSMB, or NASBA accept your license translation?

Yes. Yes. License translations we certify hold up with courts, immigration officials, and licensing boards alike, the ABA and ECFMG among them, along with the FSMB and the NASBA.

The same certification format works across professions and states, from medical and nursing boards to engineering, accounting, teaching, and bar admission, and it is backed by our 100% acceptance guarantee.

What happens if a board sends my translated license back for a correction?

Every order includes unlimited revisions, so if a board or authority asks for an adjustment, we make it at no extra cost under the acceptance guarantee.

That means a request for a change does not cost you another fee or restart your timeline.

Can you also translate my continuing education certificates and specialty credentials with my license?

Yes. Along with your license, we translate continuing education certificates, professional development records, and specialty certifications that go with your qualifications.

If your application needs several credentials translated, we can handle the complete package together so the terminology stays consistent across them.

How do I send my license, and do I have to mail the original?

No mailing needed. Scan or photograph your professional license and upload the image when you place the order, making sure every line of text is clear and readable.

We accept PDF, JPG, PNG, and most common formats, so a clear digital copy is all we need. Your original license stays with you.

What does professional license translation cost and how fast is it?

Certified professional license translation is $24.10 per page. Most licenses are one or two pages, and any extra credentials are priced separately, with no hidden or setup fees and the price shown up front.

Standard turnaround is 48 hours, with rush service available when you are facing a license application deadline or a job start date.
