How we know · policy checked on October 21, 2026
The Nebraska Board of Medicine and Surgery requires any document not in English to be translated into English, sent with a copy of the original, as an original translation carrying the translator's notarized or equivalent signature; applicants may not translate their own documents.
A certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary, notarized, meets that rule.
Foreign graduates also need permanent ECFMG certification and a school verification sent by the dean or registrar, which we cannot send for you.
Nebraska Board of Medicine at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
The physician application says documents not in English must be translated, with a copy of the original, the translation an original with the translator's notarized or equivalent signature, and no self-translation (application instructions), so a certified, notarized translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets it.

Nebraska Board of Medicine requirements in detail
Translation
Any document in a language other than English must be translated into English (Application for a license to practice medicine).
Who may translate
Anyone except the applicant (Application for a license to practice medicine).
Original or copy
A copy of the original document goes with the translation; the translation itself must be an original document (Application for a license to practice medicine).
Notarization
Required: the translation must contain the notarized or equivalent signature of the translator (Application for a license to practice medicine). eVerbary adds it at checkout for $34.90 per order.
Foreign graduates
Permanent ECFMG certification, with the status report sent directly by ECFMG, and two years of ACGME or Board-approved postgraduate training (Application for a license to practice medicine).
School verification
The Verification of Foreign Medical College form is completed by the dean or registrar, with the school seal on your photo, and sent directly to Nebraska; forms returned to you are refused (Application for a license to practice medicine).
FCVS
An FCVS profile may be submitted; the office reviews it, and it is not automatically accepted (Application for a license to practice medicine).
What the notarized-translation rule covers
The rule sits at the top of Nebraska's application instructions and applies to any document you submit that is not in English (Application for a license to practice medicine): typically a marriage certificate for a name change, a foreign license or good-standing letter, or court records you must disclose.
Each one goes with a copy of the original and an original translation signed by the translator before a notary or with an equivalent signature.
Credentials sent by others follow their own path.
The foreign school completes the verification form and mails it to the State; ECFMG sends its certification status report; training programs send their forms (Application for a license to practice medicine).
For ECFMG itself, translations must be word for word, by a professional translation service or an official, with a certification statement (ECFMG).
Paper file, sent by mail
The application is mailed to the DHHS Licensure Unit with the license fee; missing items are requested by email, and a complete file ends with the wall credential in the mail (Application for a license to practice medicine).
Because the translation must be an original, a paper translation with the notarized signature is the safe format for Nebraska. Exam and licensing details are summarized on the Board's Medicine and Surgery page.

$24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.

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 of up to 250 words, 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 Medicine
Put the copy of the original and the notarized translation in the application packet you mail to the DHHS Licensure Unit, Attn: Medical, PO Box 94986, Lincoln NE (Application for a license to practice medicine).
eVerbary can mail the translation to you in a sealed, signed envelope: choose the hard copy and notarization at checkout with your address ($19.95 Priority or $37.95 Express in the US, $49.95 or $78.95 to other countries) and write in the order notes that it is for the Nebraska Board of Medicine.
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 Nebraska that means we translate and notarize your documents; the medical college verification comes from your school, and ECFMG certification from ECFMG.
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.
