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.
