Requirements checked on November 12, 2026 from Georgia PE Board's public pages (sources).
The Georgia Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors Board gives educational credit for foreign education only when it is evaluated by NCEES Credentials Evaluations (Board policy 03-04, updated May 7, 2026), and you must set up an NCEES Record before applying.
Georgia publishes no translation rule of its own; NCEES accepts literal English translations by a certified translation service such as eVerbary.
We translate your records for NCEES; we do not order the evaluation or file your Georgia application.
Georgia PE Board at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Georgia says all foreign education shall be evaluated by NCEES Credentials Evaluations to receive educational credit (Board policy statements, effective May 7, 2026), and NCEES accepts literal English translations completed by a certified translation service (NCEES), so a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets the rule that applies. Policy checked on November 12, 2026.

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.

Georgia PE Board requirements in detail
Translation
The Board sets no translation rule; NCEES applies its own (Professional Engineer information).
Who may translate
For NCEES, a certified translation service; literal translations (NCEES).
Evaluation
All foreign education, through NCEES Credentials Evaluations, before applying (Board policy statements, effective May 7, 2026, PE information).
NCEES Record
Required before applying; transcripts, exam results, employment verifications and references go through it (Professional Engineer information).
Experience
Four years with an ABET engineering degree, seven with a non-ABET or related science degree, 15 on the experience-only path; under a PE licensed in the US (Professional Engineer information).
FE waiver
Possible with a foreign degree plus an acceptable NCEES evaluation, an ABET-level master's in the same discipline and 16 years of experience, eight in responsible charge (Professional Engineer information, policy 15-02).
References
Five professional references, which can be submitted through the NCEES Record (Professional Engineer information).
Why everything starts at NCEES
Georgia no longer approves exam registrations, and it asks you to build an NCEES Record before you apply: transcripts, exam results, employment verifications and references are submitted through it (Professional Engineer information).
For a degree from a school outside the US, the Board tells you to have it evaluated through NCEES Credentials Evaluations before applying, and its policy statement makes NCEES the only route to educational credit (Board policy statements, effective May 7, 2026).
NCEES needs literal English translations by a certified translation service for every native-language document, and the transcript translation is returned directly to NCEES (NCEES, NCEES Records FAQ). The evaluation then stays in your NCEES Record for Georgia and any other board.
Foreign experience and the FE waiver
Experience must be progressive and gained under the direct supervisory control of a PE licensed in the United States (Professional Engineer information), so years worked abroad under a foreign engineer may not count.
The FE waiver path is open to foreign graduates only with an acceptable NCEES evaluation plus a master's from a program accredited by ABET at the bachelor's level, and 16 years of experience (Professional Engineer information, Board policy statements, effective May 7, 2026).
Need a certified translation for Georgia PE Board?
$24.95 per page with no word cap, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- University transcripts or mark sheets, for NCEES
- Degree certificates and diplomas
- Course descriptions for every engineering course
- Employment verification letters from employers abroad
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 Georgia PE Board
Translations go to NCEES, not to the Board; the transcript translation is returned directly to NCEES and course descriptions you send are uploaded in MyNCEES (NCEES Records FAQ). Georgia receives the evaluation as part of your NCEES Record (Professional Engineer information).
eVerbary can mail the translation to NCEES in a sealed, signed envelope: choose the hard copy at checkout ($19.95 Priority or $37.95 Express in the US) and write your MyNCEES account number in the order notes.
What we do not do
eVerbary is a translation service, not a credential evaluation service or a licensing agency: we do not issue evaluations, US equivalencies or GPA conversions, we cannot send documents on behalf of the school or authority that issued them, and we do not file the license application.
For the Georgia Board that means we translate your records for NCEES; we do not order the evaluation, set up your NCEES Record or file your application.
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.
