Requirements checked on November 12, 2026 from Montana Board of Pharmacy's public pages (sources).
The Montana Board of Pharmacy licenses foreign pharmacy graduates who hold FPGEC certification, complete 1,500 internship hours in the United States and interview before the Board, under ARM 24.174.401 and 24.174.501; 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, register you as an intern or prepare you for the Board interview.
Montana Board of Pharmacy at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Montana requires FPGEC certification of foreign graduates (Board checklist), 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.

Montana 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 (Pharmacist licensing requirements and application checklist, 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).
Foreign graduate route
Interview before the Board, 1,500 internship hours in the United States, FPGEC certification (FPGEE, Test of Spoken English and TOEFL) and NABP minimum scores on all tests (ARM 24.174.401, 24.174.501, Pharmacist licensing requirements and application checklist).
Intern registration
Graduates of non-accredited programs abroad register as interns once FPGEC certified (ARM 24.174.602); $50 fee; experience affidavits are filed at the end of each site or after 500 hours (Registered intern pharmacist application, intern page).
License verification
Official verification from every state and jurisdiction where you hold or have held a professional license of any type (Pharmacist licensing requirements and application checklist).
Exams
NAPLEX and the MPJE; the Board makes you eligible, and you register and pay through NABP (Pharmacist licensing requirements and application checklist).
Fees
$70 application fee, plus $35 NAPLEX and $25 MPJE fees to the Board, separate from NABP's own fees; all nonrefundable (Pharmacist licensing requirements and application checklist, Board page).
Why the translation happens before Montana sees anything
Montana's foreign graduate route starts with FPGEC certification, which covers the FPGEE, the Test of Spoken English and the TOEFL (Pharmacist licensing requirements and application checklist).
Your foreign transcripts, degree and license are read by ECE and NABP during certification, not by the Board.
The FPGEC rule applies to those documents: 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.
License verifications sent to Montana
The checklist asks for official verification from every state and jurisdiction where you hold or have ever held a professional license, and says some documents must come to the Board directly from the source (Pharmacist licensing requirements and application checklist).
It does not say whether a foreign pharmacist license counts, or how a verification in another language should be handled.
Ask the Board before you order one from your home country; if it arrives in another language, the issuing body sends it, and we cannot send documents on its behalf.
The checklist (updated January 2020) still lists the Test of Spoken English inside FPGEC (Pharmacist licensing requirements and application checklist); NABP's current FPGEC rules decide which English test you take.

$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

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 Montana Board of Pharmacy
FPGEC translations go by mail with your documents: education records to ECE and license documents to NABP (ECE, FPGEC). Montana receives proof of FPGEC certification with your pharmacist application, not the translations (Pharmacist licensing requirements and application checklist).
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 Montana that means we translate the documents you send through the FPGEC process; certification, the intern registration, license verifications and the Board interview are between you, NABP, licensing bodies 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.
