Requirements checked on November 12, 2026 from Indiana Board of Pharmacy's public pages (sources).
The Indiana Board of Pharmacy requires every graduate of a pharmacy school outside the United States or Canada to submit a certified copy of FPGEC certification, which IC 25-26-13-11 makes mandatory and the Board cannot waive, and 1,500 intern hours in a licensed pharmacy; it publishes no translation rule of its own.
Your documents 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 intern permit, sponsor affidavit and hours are between you and the Board.
Indiana Board of Pharmacy at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Indiana requires the FPGEC certificate under IC 25-26-13-11 with no alternative (Indiana licensing information), 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.

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.

Indiana Board of Pharmacy requirements in detail
Translation
The Board publishes no translation rule for foreign graduates; documents are translated for the FPGEC, under its rule (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information, FPGEC).
Who may translate
Set by the FPGEC: an official translator or a professional translation service in any country, never the applicant; each page signed and dated (FPGEC Bulletin: Documentation Requirements).
FPGEC certification
Graduates of schools outside the US or Canada, and of schools accredited by the CCPA, submit a certified copy of the FPGEC certificate; IC 25-26-13-11 requires it and it cannot be waived (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
Evaluation
Inside the FPGEC process: ECE evaluates your pharmacy education for NABP (ECE). Indiana asks for no other evaluation.
Intern permit
Foreign graduates submit FPGEC proof instead of the school's certificate, plus a Sponsor Affidavit completed in full by an Indiana-licensed pharmacist; $10 fee (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
Hours
1,500 hours in a licensed pharmacy setting, credited from the date the intern permit is issued, 4 to 60 hours a week, reported on the Affidavit of Experience; hours from another state are transferred by that state's board (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
Exam and fee
NAPLEX; no Authorization to Test until all requirements are met; pharmacist application $100 (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
Why Indiana leaves the documents to the FPGEC
For an Indiana pharmacist license, a graduate of a school outside the United States or Canada proves education with a certified copy of FPGEC certification; the page says the certificate is required by IC 25-26-13-11, has no alternative and cannot be waived (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
The school certificate on page 3 of the application is not completed for foreign graduates (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
Your transcripts, diploma and license are therefore read by ECE and NABP, under the FPGEC rule: an official word-for-word translation, seals and stamps included, signed and dated by the translator on every page, with an accuracy attestation and proof of credentials; no self-translation (FPGEC Bulletin: Documentation Requirements, FPGEC Bulletin: Submit Documentation (license and registration)).
NABP adds that certification is not issued on paper; the date shows in your e-Profile, which boards can see (FPGEC Bulletin: What is FPGEC certification?).
Order through a free quote and say the translation is for the FPGEC, so we confirm the format before you pay.
Intern permit, sponsor and hours
A graduate of a non-accredited program needs an Indiana-licensed pharmacist as employer or sponsor to complete the Sponsor Statement and Affidavit in full; without it the intern application is not processed (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
The 1,500 hours are credited only from the permit's issue date, at 4 to 60 hours a week, and each period ends with an Affidavit of Experience listing time week by week (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
Hours from another state count if they meet Indiana law and you held an intern license there, and that state's board verifies them to Indiana; experience outside a pharmacy needs the Board's approval before it starts (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
Intern permits expire September 30 each year and renew with a copy of the FPGEC (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).

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 Indiana Board of Pharmacy
Translations go with your FPGEC paperwork, by mail: education records to ECE and license documents to NABP (ECE, FPGEC). Indiana receives proof of FPGEC certification, not the translations (Indiana Board of Pharmacy: licensing information).
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.
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 Indiana that means we translate the documents you send through the FPGEC process; certification, the sponsor affidavit, the intern permit and your 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.
