Requirements checked on November 12, 2026 from Oregon Board's public pages (sources).
Under Oregon Administrative Rule 801-010-0050, every foreign academic credential used for CPA exam eligibility must be evaluated by NASBA International Evaluation Services (NIES), and NASBA's CPA Examination Services processes Oregon applications.
The Board has no translation rule of its own; NIES accepts certified translations from any member of the American Translators Association, so it accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary, an ATA corporate member translating in the US.
We translate your records; NIES evaluates them and CPAES decides eligibility for the Board.
Oregon Board at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
OAR 801-010-0050 requires NIES for all foreign academic credentials (OAR 801-010-0050, CPA examination (Oregon Secretary of State)), and NIES accepts certified translations from any ATA member, refusing only private providers outside the US (NIES requirements), so eVerbary's certified translations meet the rule.

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.

Oregon Board requirements in detail
Translation
No Board translation rule; NIES requires records not in English to be translated before it processes them (NIES).
Who may translate
For NIES: any ATA member, your university or the ministry of education; private providers outside the US are not accepted (NIES).
Evaluation
All foreign academic credentials offered for exam eligibility must be evaluated by NIES (OAR 801-010-0050, CPA examination (Oregon Secretary of State)); NIES lists Oregon among jurisdictions where it is the only approved provider (NASBA International Evaluation Services).
Report contents
An equivalency summary, a credential analysis, a course-by-course listing and a credit analysis with total, accounting and business credits (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Oregon).
How to submit
The original evaluation goes from NIES directly to CPAES, with a copy of the international transcript; photocopies are not accepted (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Oregon).
Deadline
The application must be complete within 3 months of receipt, or the candidate is found ineligible and the file closed (OAR 801-010-0050, CPA examination (Oregon Secretary of State)).
Fees
$96 education evaluation application and $96 exam application, paid to CPAES (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Oregon).
Professional training
Coursework from a Chartered Accountant or similar program counts as professional training and is not accepted (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Oregon).
Who does what in Oregon
Since February 13, 2023, the Board has outsourced exam application processing and eligibility decisions to NASBA (Oregon Board of Accountancy: CPA exam information).
So three bodies touch your file: NIES evaluates the foreign records, CPA Examination Services checks eligibility for the Board, and the Board licenses (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Oregon).
The rule ties them together: an application is not reviewed until the fee and all supporting documents, including the NIES evaluation of foreign credentials, are in (OAR 801-010-0050, CPA examination (Oregon Secretary of State)).
Oregon's exam needs a baccalaureate, 24 semester hours of upper-division core accounting and 24 hours of accounting or related subjects (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Oregon).
Translation for NIES
NIES's standards for outside translations: verbatim, same format as the original, no interpretation, typed, signed and dated by the translator, with full translator contact details (NIES). We translate subject titles, credits and marks as printed, without converting grades.
Plan the timing: NIES needs everything within 90 days of the date you apply (NIES), and Oregon closes an exam application that is not complete within three months (OAR 801-010-0050, CPA examination (Oregon Secretary of State)).
Holders of a foreign accounting license seeking an Oregon license under OAR 801-010-0085 take the IQEX instead (Oregon Board of Accountancy: license application requirements).
Need a certified translation for Oregon Board?
$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
- University transcripts or mark sheets from every institution attended
- Degree certificates and diplomas
- Yearly examination results, when the school issues no consolidated transcript
- Course descriptions for upper-division accounting subjects, if NIES asks for them
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 Oregon Board
The translation goes to NIES with your records; mail goes to NASBA International Evaluation Services, 150 Fourth Ave. N., Suite 850, Nashville, TN 37219 (NIES). NIES then sends the original report to CPAES with a copy of your international transcript (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Oregon).
eVerbary can mail the translation to NIES in a sealed, signed envelope: choose the hard copy at checkout with NIES's address ($19.95 Priority or $37.95 Express in the US) and write in the order notes that it is for the Oregon CPA evaluation.
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 Oregon that means we translate your records for NIES; we do not order the evaluation or file your CPAES application, and CPAES decides eligibility for 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.
