How we know · policy checked on October 21, 2026
InCred, the credential evaluation service of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), asks for accurate, word-for-word English translations of records not in English, and says anyone proficient in both languages may make them; a certified translation company is not required.
InCred accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary, and may require a certified translation if a translation it receives proves inaccurate.
You upload scans of your records and the translations when you register; the evaluation and the NAIA eligibility decision come from InCred and the NAIA.
InCred at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
InCred requires accurate, word-for-word translations and accepts them from anyone proficient in both languages, adding that it may require a certified translation if one is inaccurate (InCred student FAQ), so a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets it.

InCred requirements in detail
Translation
Accurate, word-for-word English translations of records not in English (InCred: students).
Who may translate
Anyone proficient in both the original language and English; InCred says translations need not come from certified translation companies (InCred: students).
Self-translation
Allowed: anyone proficient may translate. If InCred finds a translation inaccurate, it may require a certified one (InCred: students).
Original or copy
Clear scanned copies of paper records, uploaded to the application; electronic records must be verified or delivered directly by the institution (InCred: students).
Own translation service
None mentioned.
How to submit
Upload when you register with InCred, ideally after registering at PlayNAIA.org and with your ECID number; later records go by email to InCred (InCred: students).
Timing
Expedited service: 2 business days for $150 or 5 for $75, counted from the day all records are accepted (InCred: students).
When a certified translation is worth it
InCred's rule is permissive: a relative or coach who reads both languages may translate, as long as the translation is accurate and word-for-word (InCred: students).
The catch is the next sentence: if InCred finds a translation inaccurate, it may require a certified one, and the clock for an expedited report restarts when records are incomplete or need verification.
A certified translation also serves twice. The college that admits you usually has its own translation rule, often stricter than InCred's, and the same translation of your transcripts can go to both.
InCred, PlayNAIA and the eligibility decision
InCred belongs to the NAIA.
Every student who plans to compete in the NAIA must receive an eligibility decision through PlayNAIA.org and submit international transcripts through InCred; records sent to InCred can also be used by the NAIA Eligibility Center (InCred: students).
The InCred report can reach your school before the eligibility decision, which gives the school an early view of your record.
InCred is listed today as an endorsed member of the Association of International Credential Evaluators, endorsed to evaluate credentials for student-athletes applying to the NAIA and the NJCAA (AICE).

What an eVerbary translation includes
- A complete English translation of every page, stamps, seals and handwritten notes included, laid out like the original so each line can be matched.
- Grades, hours and credits exactly as recorded, with the grading scale the document prints. We never convert marks to a US GPA or equivalency.
- A signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead, with our contact details, delivered as a PDF you can upload or print.
- $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included; 24 hours for one to three pages as standard. Regular clients who need it can get delivery in as little as 30 minutes, on request.
- Notarization added at checkout ($34.90 per order) when the office asks for a notarized translation.
Submitting the translation to InCred
Upload the translations with the scans of your records when you register with InCred; if you already registered, send additional records by email as InCred instructs (InCred: students).
We deliver the translation as a PDF with a signed certificate of translation accuracy, ready to upload.
What we do not do
eVerbary is a translation service, not a credential evaluation service: we do not issue evaluations, US equivalencies or GPA conversions, we do not order the evaluation for you, and we cannot send documents on behalf of the school that issued them.
For InCred that means we translate your records; the InCred report and the NAIA eligibility decision come from InCred and the NAIA.
How to order
- Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
- Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
- Receive the PDF, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages, and submit it with the copy of the original wherever the office asks for it.
