Professional Licensure Reports | Foreign Education

Certain professions in the U.S. may require licensure by a state board before you can practice in the field. Licensing boards often have an educational requirement for licensure.

If you have studied outside the U.S. and are trying to be licensed, a foreign credential evaluation report may help you meet the educational requirements.

We currently provide reports for all those who are seeking licensure as a dentist or pharmacist, and we provide reports for some states for cosmetology and accounting. If you are seeking professional licensure, we recommend you contact your state board to confirm what type of report may be required.

Please wait while we gather your results.

ECE® Scholar Profile (For those currently unable to obtain official documents)

With so many closures all over the world, it can be difficult or impossible for you to obtain the documents that would satisfy ECE’s usual country-specific documentation requirements. The good news is that we have a solution to help you pursue your healthcare career in the United States – an ECE^® Scholar Profile.

A Scholar Profile contains all the information that you would find in a standard ECE^® report but are based on the documents that are available to you, including photocopies and scans. And, it costs less than a standard report.

A Scholar Profile will clearly state that it is based on unauthenticated documentation. IMPORTANT: You must confirm with your chosen institution that they will accept this type of report, without the official documents. If at a later date the institution would like to have the official documents verified, ECE can upgrade the Scholar Profile to a standard report, or the institution may verify the documents in-house once they are available. The Scholar Profile is valid for five years.

The need for qualified and educated healthcare professionals like you in the United States is strong and we look forward to you bringing your talents and skills to our country.

Includes:

U.S. equivalence for each educational credential

Price:

General Scholar Profile (Price: $85)
General with Grade Average Scholar Profile (Price: $110)
Course-by-Course Scholar Profile (Price: $155)
