Requirements checked on November 12, 2026 from New Jersey Engineering Board's public pages (sources).
The New Jersey State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors requires every undergraduate degree that is not ABET-accredited, foreign degrees included, to be evaluated by one of its recommended providers, and for an engineering degree that provider is NCEES.
The Board publishes no translation rule of its own; NCEES accepts literal English translations by a certified translation service such as eVerbary.
We translate your records for NCEES; we do not order the evaluation or file your New Jersey application.
New Jersey Engineering Board at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
The New Jersey Board says all non-ABET undergraduate degrees must be evaluated by one of its recommended providers, NCEES for engineering degrees (Evaluation of non-ABET accredited education credentials), and NCEES accepts literal English translations completed by a certified translation service (NCEES), so a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets the rule that applies.

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.

New Jersey Engineering Board requirements in detail
Translation
The Board sets no translation rule; the evaluation service applies its own (Evaluation of non-ABET accredited education credentials).
Who may translate
For NCEES, a certified translation service; literal translations (NCEES).
Evaluation
Every non-ABET undergraduate degree, foreign ones included; ask for a "Subject Analysis Evaluation" (Board FAQ, evaluation sheet).
Recommended evaluators
Engineering degree: NCEES. Engineering technology degree: Josef Silny & Associates or Educational Perspectives (Evaluation of non-ABET accredited education credentials).
Graduate degrees
Have all degrees, undergraduate and graduate, evaluated at the same time, so graduate work may offset undergraduate deficiencies (Evaluation of non-ABET accredited education credentials).
Experience
Four years, two of them gained in the US and two in original design, all under a licensed PE (Board FAQ).
References
Five, three of them US-licensed PEs who supervised you; references from relatives are refused and are valid one year (Board FAQ).
Fees
$75 PE application; the evaluation's actual cost is paid by certified check or money order under N.J.A.C. 13:40-6.1 (Fee schedule, N.J.A.C. 13:40-6.1).
Which evaluator New Jersey wants
The Board's FAQ answers "yes" to whether a foreign undergraduate degree must be evaluated, and tells you to request a Subject Analysis Evaluation from one of its recommended evaluators (Board FAQ).
Its evaluation sheet splits them by degree type: NCEES for a non-ABET engineering degree; Josef Silny & Associates or Educational Perspectives for a non-ABET engineering technology degree (Evaluation of non-ABET accredited education credentials).
For the NCEES evaluation, native-language documents need literal English translations by a certified translation service, and the transcript translation is returned directly to NCEES (NCEES, NCEES Records FAQ).
If yours is a technology degree and you choose Josef Silny, check that evaluator's own translation rule before ordering.
No reciprocity, and experience in the US
New Jersey's law has no reciprocity with any state, territory or country, so a license from abroad does not carry over (Board FAQ).
Of the four years of experience needed for the PE exam, two must be in the United States, and all of it under the regular supervision of a licensed professional engineer (Board FAQ).
Citizenship and a Social Security number are not required (Board FAQ).

$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.

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 New Jersey Engineering Board
Translations for the evaluation go to the evaluator, not to the Board; the transcript translation is returned directly to NCEES (NCEES Records FAQ). Applications themselves are filed online from the Board's applications page (Applications).
eVerbary can mail the translation to NCEES in a sealed, signed envelope: choose the hard copy at checkout ($19.95 Priority or $37.95 Express in the US) and write your MyNCEES account number in the order notes.
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 the New Jersey Board that means we translate your records for the evaluator; we do not order the Subject Analysis Evaluation, supply references or file your application.
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.
