How we know · policy checked on October 21, 2026
The Idaho Board of Medicine asks physicians who do not use FCVS for a medical school verification packet mailed by the school, and if the transcripts are not in English, an original, certified and official English translation.
The Board does not say who must make the translation, so a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets it.
The verification form, the sealed diploma copy and the transcripts themselves come from your school, and the ECFMG certificate from ECFMG, not from us.
Idaho BOM at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Idaho's Medical School Verification form requires "an original, certified, and official English translation" of transcripts not in English, without naming who must prepare it (Medical School Verification), so a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets it.

Idaho BOM requirements in detail
Translation
If transcripts are not in English, an original, certified and official English translation is required (Medical or Osteopathic School Verification form).
Who may translate
Not specified by the Board (Medical or Osteopathic School Verification form).
Original or copy
The school certifies a copy of your diploma with its seal and mails it with an official copy of your transcripts; the translation must be an original (Medical or Osteopathic School Verification form).
How to submit
The dean or designated official mails the form, sealed diploma, transcripts and any other documentation to the Idaho State Board of Medicine, PO Box 83720, Boise (Medical or Osteopathic School Verification form).
FCVS
Applicants using FCVS do not complete the verification form; FCVS verifies the data (Medical or Osteopathic School Verification form).
International graduates
ECFMG certificate or equivalent, original documentation from the school, a transcript of all courses and clinical coursework, and two years of progressive postgraduate training (one year in an Idaho residency, with conditions) (IDAPA 24.33.01).
School listing
The school must be listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools; otherwise three of four alternative requirements apply (IDAPA 24.33.01, Rules for the Practice of Medicine).
How the translation fits a packet your school mails
Idaho's form puts the school in charge of the mailing: you complete Section 1 and send the form with a copy of your diploma to the dean, who certifies the diploma with the school seal and mails it, an official copy of your transcripts and the form to the Board (Medical or Osteopathic School Verification form).
The same paragraph adds that transcripts not in English need an original, certified and official translation, but it does not say who sends it.
Two practical options: send the original translation to your school so it travels in the same envelope, or ask the Board whether it accepts the translation from you referencing the school packet.
Either way, order it before you send the form to the dean. We translate the transcript line by line, including grading notes, seals and signatures, and never convert grades.
With FCVS, a different path
If you use FCVS, you skip the Medical School Verification form; FCVS verifies the data for you (Medical or Osteopathic School Verification form).
International graduates who do not meet section 54-1812 of the Idaho Code also submit the original ECFMG certificate or proof of passing an ECFMG-recognized examination (IDAPA 24.33.01, Rules for the Practice of Medicine), and ECFMG accepts word-for-word translations from a professional translation service (ECFMG).
Idaho's rules ask international graduates for a transcript showing all courses, grades and clinical coursework (IDAPA 24.33.01, Rules for the Practice of Medicine). If your clinical rotations appear on a separate certificate, translate it too.

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 Idaho BOM
The original certified translation goes with the transcripts in the packet your school mails to the Idaho State Board of Medicine, PO Box 83720, Boise, Idaho 83720-0063 (Medical or Osteopathic School Verification form), unless the Board tells you otherwise.
The application itself is online through DOPL (Apply for or Renew a License); forms are on the Medicine Resources and Forms page.
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 Idaho that means we translate your transcripts and other records; the verification form, sealed diploma copy and official transcripts come from your school, and the ECFMG certificate from ECFMG.
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.
