Requirements checked on November 12, 2026 from Maryland Board of Pharmacy's public pages (sources).
The Maryland Board of Pharmacy requires foreign pharmacy graduates to be FPGEC certified and to send a copy of the certificate with the $150 application and with the intern registration; it publishes no translation rule for documents you submit yourself.
Your foreign-language records are translated for the FPGEC, which accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary, but not your own translations.
We translate your pharmacy records and license for that process; we do not apply for certification, register you as an intern or send documents on behalf of a school or testing body.
Maryland Board of Pharmacy at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Maryland requires FPGEC certification of foreign graduates (Board 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. 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.

Maryland Board of Pharmacy requirements in detail
Translation
The Board publishes no translation rule for documents you send it; foreign education and license records are translated for the FPGEC, under its rule (Initial pharmacist license application, rev. 05/01/2025, 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 by the translator (FPGEC Bulletin: Documentation Requirements).
FPGEC certification
Foreign graduates must be FPGEC certified with NABP and give the Board a copy of the certificate (Initial pharmacist license application, rev. 05/01/2025).
Evaluation
Inside the FPGEC process: ECE evaluates your pharmacy education for NABP (ECE). Maryland asks for no separate credential evaluation.
Internship
1,560 hours of full-time training as a registered pharmacy intern under the direct supervision of Board-approved pharmacists, shown on a notarized Pharmacy Experience Affidavit (COMAR 10.34.02.04-.05, COMAR 10.34.02: Examination for licensure and professional experience programs, application).
Exams
NAPLEX and MPJE, each with a grade of 75 or better; scores are good for one year (Initial pharmacist license application, rev. 05/01/2025).
Fees and mailing
$150 nonrefundable, by check or money order to the Maryland Board of Pharmacy, P.O. Box 1991, Baltimore, MD 21203-1991; intern registration $45 (Initial pharmacist license application, rev. 05/01/2025, intern application).
Other documents
A certified copy of your birth certificate or other proof of birth date (Initial pharmacist license application, rev. 05/01/2025).
Where the translations go
Maryland does not review foreign transcripts itself: the FPGEC certificate documents the equivalency of your education and license, and Maryland treats it as partial fulfillment of eligibility (Board FAQ).
The translations therefore go with your FPGEC paperwork: pharmacy transcripts and degree to ECE, and your license or registration to NABP, each with an official word-for-word translation signed and dated on every page, an accuracy attestation and proof of the translator's credentials (FPGEC Bulletin: Documentation Requirements, FPGEC Bulletin: Submit Documentation (license and registration)).
Order that translation through a free quote and write in the notes that it is for the FPGEC, so we confirm the page-by-page format before you pay.
Where Maryland's pages differ
The Board's undated foreign-graduate FAQ says candidates may earn intern hours before completing the FPGEE (FAQ), while the 2025 intern registration form asks foreign graduates for a copy of the FPGEC certificate (intern application).
Read the 2025 forms as current and confirm the timing with the Board before you plan your internship.
COMAR 10.34.02.03 adds a narrow rule: certificates and verifications under that regulation go directly from the certifying or verifying authority to the Board, and if they are not in English that authority submits a certified translation, at the applicant's cost (COMAR 10.34.02: Examination for licensure and professional experience programs). We cannot send documents on behalf of a school or testing body.
Need a certified translation for Maryland Board of Pharmacy?
$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
- 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 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 Maryland Board of Pharmacy
Translations go with your FPGEC documents, by mail: education records to ECE and license documents to NABP (ECE, FPGEC). Maryland receives your FPGEC certificate copy with the application, not the translations.
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 Maryland that means we translate the documents you send through the FPGEC process; certification, the intern registration and the experience affidavits are between you, NABP, your preceptors 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.
