One Earth International Credential Evaluators, in Madison, Wisconsin, asks for every document in its original language, with a word-for-word English translation for any document not officially issued in English.
In most cases you may prepare the translation yourself if it is literal and follows the original's format, and One Earth also accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary.
One Earth does not accept plain photocopies of the records themselves; the evaluation comes from One Earth.

One Earth requirements in detail
Translation
Documents go in their original language; those not officially issued in English need word-for-word English translations (One Earth: FAQ).
Who may translate
Not limited: in most cases you may prepare the translation yourself; a professional translation is equally accepted (One Earth: FAQ).
Self-translation
Allowed in most cases, if literal, word-for-word and in the same general format as the original (One Earth: FAQ).
Original or copy
Records sent by the institution, official copies in a sealed envelope, scans that can be verified online, or originals by mail; plain photocopies and notary copies are not accepted (One Earth: application instructions).
Own translation service
None mentioned.
How to submit
Apply online; institutions may email PDFs to One Earth from a verifiable address, and originals go by tracked mail to Madison (One Earth: application instructions, One Earth: required documentation).
Notarization
Not required. Notary copies of records are not accepted (One Earth: application instructions).
When to use a professional translation anyway
One Earth lets applicants translate their own documents, "in most cases," if the translation is literal and laid out like the original for ease of comparison (One Earth: FAQ). The words "in most cases" leave room for One Earth to ask for more.
The report usually goes to a university or licensing board with its own rule. A university that names One Earth may still ask, under its own rule, for a translation by a professional or certified translator; one certified translation can serve both the evaluation and the school.
How records reach One Earth
One Earth lists four routes: records sent by your institution, ministry or exam board, by post or from a verifiable email; official copies attested by the registrar in a sealed envelope; scans that One Earth can verify through a results portal or ministry database; or your original documents, which it returns (One Earth: application instructions).
It also accepts platforms such as ETX, Digitary, TrueCopy, My eQuals and CSSD (One Earth: required documentation).
A general evaluation costs $90 for one credential and a course detail evaluation $180, with rush service from $80; reports take 5 to 7 business days once everything is in (One Earth: services). One Earth is a member of TAICEP, NAFSA and AACRAO (One Earth: about).

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 One Earth
Submit the translations with your application and the original-language records as One Earth's instructions say; documents sent directly by institutions become One Earth's property (One Earth: application instructions).
We deliver the translation as a PDF with a signed certificate of translation accuracy, ready to upload or email.
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 One Earth that means we translate your records; getting the institution's documents or verifiable scans to One Earth and the evaluation are handled with One Earth.
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.
