Requirements checked on November 12, 2026 from New Mexico Board of Pharmacy's public pages (sources).
The New Mexico Board of Pharmacy lets graduates of pharmacy schools not accredited by ACPE take the licensing exams once they complete the NABP FPGEE certification program and the 1,500-hour internship, under 16.19.2.8 NMAC, and it may accept pharmacist work abroad in place of internship on petition; 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, license and experience letters; we do not apply for certification or file your petition.
New Mexico Board of Pharmacy at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
New Mexico requires foreign graduates to complete the NABP FPGEE certification program (16.19.2.8 NMAC), 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.

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 Mexico 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 (16.19.2 NMAC: examinations, 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).
Eligibility
Graduates of schools not accredited by ACPE may take the licensing exams after submitting the Board's application, completing the internship under 16.19.5 NMAC and completing the NABP FPGEE certification program (16.19.2.8(B) NMAC, 16.19.2 NMAC: examinations).
Work experience abroad
You may petition the Board to accept work experience as a pharmacist in another country in place of the internship; the Board may accept all, part or none of it (16.19.2.8(C) NMAC, 16.19.2 NMAC: examinations).
Internship
A 1,500-hour training period under a Board- or college-approved preceptor, counted at no more than 48 hours a week (16.19.5 NMAC, 16.19.5 NMAC: internship training program).
Exams
NAPLEX and MPJE, passing scores as set by NABP; no more than four consecutive attempts at either, within three years of the first (16.19.2 NMAC: examinations).
Applications
Pharmacist, intern and preceptor applications are on the Board's forms page; new pharmacist applications are filed online (New Mexico Board of Pharmacy: applications and forms).
Why most translations happen before New Mexico sees anything
New Mexico's rule ties a foreign graduate's eligibility to the NABP FPGEE certification program (16.19.2 NMAC: examinations), so your transcripts, degree and license are read by ECE and NABP during certification.
The FPGEC rule applies to them: 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)).
Petitioning to count pharmacist work abroad
New Mexico's rule lets you ask for credit for practice abroad: an applicant with work experience as a pharmacist in another country may petition the Board to accept it in lieu of the internship, and the Board decides how much to accept (16.19.2 NMAC: examinations).
The rule does not list the evidence to send, and the Board publishes no translation rule for it.
If the employment letters, service certificates or license records you send with a petition are not in English, a certified translation sent with each one lets the Board read them; write in the order notes that they are for a New Mexico Board of Pharmacy petition.

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 Mexico Board of Pharmacy
FPGEC translations go by mail with your documents: education records to ECE and license documents to NABP (ECE, FPGEC). Translations for a petition go to the New Mexico Board of Pharmacy, 5500 San Antonio Drive NE, Suite C, Albuquerque, NM 87109, or pharmacy.board@rld.nm.gov.
eVerbary delivers the certified translation as a PDF, usually within a few hours, and can mail sealed, signed hard copies ($19.95 Priority or $37.95 Express in the US) for the FPGEC, which does not accept electronic documents.
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 New Mexico that means we translate your pharmacy records and experience letters; FPGEC certification, the internship and the Board's decision on any petition 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.
