How we know · policy checked on October 21, 2026
The Georgia Board of Pharmacy asks foreign graduates to submit an FPGEC certificate with the pharmacist application and to earn their intern hours in a pharmacy in the United States; its rule also lets the Board review verified academic records and evaluate English proficiency, but it publishes no translation rule of its own.
Documents in another language are translated for the FPGEC, which accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary, but not your own.
We translate your pharmacy records and license for the FPGEC process; the certificate, the intern license and the US hours are yours to obtain.
Georgia Board of Pharmacy at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Georgia's pharmacist application asks foreign graduates for an FPGEC certificate (pharmacist application), and the FPGEC accepts an official translation from "a professional translation service in any country" (FPGEC Bulletin), so a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets the rule that applies.

Georgia Board of Pharmacy requirements in detail
Translation
The Board publishes no translation rule for foreign graduates; documents in another language are translated for the FPGEC, under its rule (Pharmacist application, FPGEC).
Who may translate
Set by the FPGEC: an official translator or a professional translation service in any country, never the applicant; every page signed and dated (FPGEC Bulletin: Documentation Requirements).
FPGEC certification
Foreign graduates submit an FPGEC certificate with the pharmacist application (Pharmacist application, online supplement).
Board review
Under Board Rule 480-2-.02, a foreign graduate qualifies only if the Board, after reviewing verified academic records, finds the graduate qualified (Pharmacy and pharmacist FAQs).
Intern license
A foreign graduate may be an intern after completing the FPGEC program, including the certificate and a Board evaluation of English proficiency (Pharmacy and pharmacist FAQs).
Intern hours
1,500 hours in retail and hospital settings; foreign graduate hours must be from a pharmacy in the US (Pharmacy and pharmacist FAQs, application).
Identity documents
A foreign passport counts as a secure and verifiable document only with a DHS Form I-94 or other federal proof of lawful presence (Pharmacist application).
What Georgia reads, and what FPGEC reads
The pharmacist application's instruction for foreign graduates is two lines: submit the FPGEC certificate, and earn your intern hours in a US pharmacy (Pharmacist application).
The Board's rule keeps the right to review your verified academic records (Pharmacy and pharmacist FAQs), but the documents that need translation in practice are the ones the FPGEC process collects: pharmacy transcripts and degree for ECE, and your license for NABP.
The FPGEC wants an official word-for-word translation, seals and stamps included, with the translator's original signature and date on every page, an accuracy attestation and proof of credentials; no self-translation and no photocopies (FPGEC Bulletin: Documentation Requirements).
Order through a free quote and say it is for the FPGEC, so we confirm the format before you pay. If the Georgia Board later asks for your academic records directly, ask it whether the FPGEC translations can be reused.
Where the Board's pages differ
The FAQ quotes Rule 480-2-.02, which names the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination, the Test of Spoken English and the TOEFL (Pharmacy and pharmacist FAQs); the current application asks only for the FPGEC certificate (Pharmacist application).
FPGEC certification itself requires a passing English proficiency score report sent by the testing vendor (FPGEC Bulletin). We read the application as current; confirm with the Board if you are unsure.
Need a certified translation for Georgia Board of Pharmacy?
$24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- Pharmacy school transcripts, for the ECE report inside FPGEC
- Pharmacy degree certificate
- 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 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 Georgia Board of Pharmacy
Translations go with your FPGEC paperwork, by mail: education records to ECE and license documents to NABP (ECE, FPGEC). Georgia receives the FPGEC certificate with your application (Pharmacist application).
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, $49.95 or $78.95 to other countries) and write in the order notes that they are for the FPGEC.
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 Georgia that means we translate the documents you send through the FPGEC process; the FPGEC certificate, the intern license and the US hours are between you, NABP and the Board.
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.
