Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

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.

Worth knowing about Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy

Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy requirements in detail

Pick an evaluator that covers both steps

The exam list is open to any NACES member (Nebraska CPA exam requirements, CPA Examination Services), but the licensing list names only NIES and CED (Nebraska licensure, NASBA Licensing Services).

A WES report may get you into the exam and still leave you ordering a second evaluation for the certificate. NIES appears on both lists, which is why this page follows its translation rule.

NIES gives you 90 days from the date you apply to send everything (NIES), and its translation service is suspended until further notice (NIES credential language translation), so have the translation ready before applying.

What Nebraska counts

To sit, you need a bachelor's degree or higher, 24 semester hours of accounting beyond principles and 24 hours of general business; coverage of all six accounting areas is not required to sit (CPA exam eligibility requirements).

The CPAES page lists economics, business law, marketing, management, finance and data analytics among business subjects, with both macro and microeconomics required (Nebraska CPA exam requirements, CPA Examination Services).

You must also live, work regularly or have a place of business in Nebraska (Nebraska CPA exam requirements, CPA Examination Services).

Documents applicants usually translate

• University transcripts or mark sheets from every institution attended
• Degree certificates and diplomas
• Course descriptions showing macro and microeconomics coverage
• Syllabi for accounting courses, if the evaluator asks

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 Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy

• For NIES, the translation goes to NASBA International Evaluation Services, 150 Fourth Ave. N., Suite 850, Nashville, TN 37219, and your university sends official transcripts directly (NIES).

  The evaluator sends its report to CPAES (Nebraska CPA exam requirements, CPA Examination Services) or NASBA Licensing Services (Nebraska licensure, NASBA Licensing Services).

• eVerbary can mail the translation to the agency in a sealed, signed envelope: choose the hard copy at checkout with the agency's address ($19.95 Priority or $37.95 Express in the US) and write in the order notes that it is for the Nebraska CPA evaluation.

If you need a translator certified by ATA

Some offices accept only a translator who is personally certified by the American Translators Association (ATA). eVerbary assigns one on request, for the languages ATA certifies into English:

To order it, ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy, what it is for, and that you need a translator individually certified by ATA, plus anything else the office asks for (notarization, delivery by email to the office).

We confirm the price and the translator before you pay. ATA does not certify other languages into English, so no translator anywhere holds ATA certification for them.

For those languages we provide a notarized certified translation instead, at $44.95 per page plus notarization ($34.90 per order); ask the office to confirm it accepts that, and write its answer in the quote notes.

How to order

1. Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
2. Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
3. 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.
