Alaska Board of Pharmacy: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Sample translation: a Congolese secondary school transcript

This is what an order looks like when it is delivered, with a fictitious student. The PDF starts with the signed certification page, and the translation follows the original line for line: every abbreviation is explained, stamps, seals and signatures are noted in brackets, and the grid stays the same, so an admissions officer or a credential evaluator can match it without guessing.

What to notice

• Two school years in the same grid as the original: every subject, grading period, exam and total, so each grade can be read against its maximum.
• The French rating abbreviations are translated (TB becomes VG, Very good), and every abbreviation is explained in a translator's note at the foot of the same page, including one the original never defines.
• Dates are written the US way (the original's 02/07/2015 is February 7, 2015).
• The photo, seals and signatures are noted in brackets where they appear.

Worth knowing about Alaska Board of Pharmacy

Alaska Board of Pharmacy requirements in detail

What goes to NABP and what goes to the Alaska Division

Alaska's regulation keeps the foreign-education review with NABP: 12 AAC 52.070 lists a notarized application with an English fluency statement, fees, an internship attestation, NAPLEX verification and FPGEC verification, both sent directly by NABP (Alaska pharmacy statutes and regulations, September 2026).

Staff validate the FPGEC when they screen your file (Alaska pharmacist license application and instructions, form 08-4032).

So the translations that matter are made for the FPGEC: an official word-for-word translation of transcripts, degree and license, seals and stamps included, with the translator's original signature and date on every page, an accuracy attestation and proof of credentials (FPGEC Bulletin: Documentation Requirements, ECE).

Order through a free quote and say it is for the FPGEC, so we confirm the format before you pay.

Where Alaska's form and regulation differ

The pharmacist application instructions (form 08-4032, revised November 2024) still ask foreign graduates for a certified true copy of the diploma and of the FPGEC certificate (Alaska pharmacist license application and instructions, form 08-4032), while the regulation in the September 2026 compilation only lists NABP's verification (Alaska pharmacy statutes and regulations, September 2026).

NABP adds that FPGEC certification is not issued as a paper certificate; the date appears in your e-Profile, which boards can see (FPGEC Bulletin: What is FPGEC certification?).

If you send the diploma copy, Alaska publishes no rule for a diploma that is not in English. Ask the Division whether it wants an English translation with it; if so, a certified translation of the diploma can go in the same mailing.

Documents applicants usually translate

• Pharmacy school transcripts, for the ECE report inside FPGEC
• Pharmacy diploma, for FPGEC and for the certified copy on Alaska's form
• Pharmacist license or registration from your country, for NABP
• Marriage certificate or court order, if your name changed

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 with no word cap, 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 Alaska Board of Pharmacy

• Education and license translations go with your FPGEC paperwork, by mail, to ECE and NABP (ECE). Alaska documents are mailed to the Division, not emailed, and some must come straight from their source (Alaska pharmacist license application and instructions, form 08-4032).

• eVerbary can mail the translations to you in sealed, signed envelopes: choose the hard copy at checkout with your address ($19.95 Priority or $37.95 Express in the US) and write in the order notes that they are for the FPGEC or the Alaska Board.

How to order

1. Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
2. Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
3. 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.
