The Mississippi Board of Pharmacy requires foreign pharmacy graduates to obtain FPGEC certification, including a TOEFL score of at least 550, and to complete 1,600 extern or intern hours before the NAPLEX and MPJE, under Miss.
Code section 73-21-85; it publishes no translation rule of its own.
Your foreign-language documents 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 or register you as an intern.
Mississippi Board of Pharmacy at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Mississippi law requires FPGEC certification of foreign pharmacy graduates (Miss. Code 73-21-85), 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.

Mississippi 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 (Foreign graduates, 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
Required by Miss. Code section 73-21-85(2), including the FPGEE and a TOEFL total of at least 550; the degree must come from a school recognized by the FPGEC (Miss. Code section 73-21-85: qualifications of license candidates).
Degree length
The FPGEC exam requires a pharmacy program of at least four years leading to licensure, or its equivalent (Foreign graduates).
Internship
1,600 extern or intern hours, registered with the Board for hours earned in Mississippi, under the direct supervision of a Mississippi pharmacist; no more than 50 hours a week are credited outside rotations (Title 30, Part 3001, Articles I and III, Mississippi Pharmacy Practice Regulations, Title 30, Part 3001).
Spoken English
The Board may require you to appear and demonstrate adequate spoken English (Mississippi Pharmacy Practice Regulations, Title 30, Part 3001).
Exams
NAPLEX, then the MPJE, after the hours are complete (Foreign graduates).
Fees
Initial pharmacist license by NAPLEX: $100 license fee, $40 background check, plus $50 for a controlled substance registration if applicable (Applications and fees).
Why the translation happens before Mississippi sees anything
The Board's foreign graduate page sends you to NABP first: eligibility rests on the FPGEC certificate, and NABP decides whether your degree qualifies for the exam (Foreign graduates). Your transcripts, degree and license are read by ECE and NABP during certification, not by the Board.
Those documents follow the FPGEC rule: an official word-for-word translation, seals and stamps included, by an official translator or a professional translation service in any country, with the translator's original signature and date on every page, an accuracy attestation and proof of credentials (FPGEC Bulletin: Documentation Requirements, FPGEC Bulletin: Submit Documentation (license and registration)). Order through a free quote and say the translation is for the FPGEC.
Hours earned outside Mississippi
Mississippi credits hours from another state only when you follow that state's internship rules, file your affidavits with that state's board, and have that board send the Mississippi Board copies with a statement that the hours are acceptable there (Mississippi Pharmacy Practice Regulations, Title 30, Part 3001).
Hours earned in Mississippi expire two years after graduation, and none count unless you were registered as an extern or intern (Mississippi Pharmacy Practice Regulations, Title 30, Part 3001).
The Board's pages do not describe credit for pharmacy practice abroad, so experience letters from your home country are not part of the Mississippi count and need no translation for it.

$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.

- Pharmacy school transcripts, for the ECE report inside FPGEC

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 Mississippi Board of Pharmacy
FPGEC translations go by mail with your documents: education records to ECE and license documents to NABP (ECE, FPGEC). Mississippi applications are filed through the Board's Licensure Gateway (Applications and fees).
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 Mississippi that means we translate the documents you send through the FPGEC process; certification, the intern registration and the hour affidavits 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.
