Requirements checked on November 12, 2026 from Utah Board's public pages (sources).
For a Utah CPA license, applicants who studied outside the United States need an evaluation report completed and sent by a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), with a copy of the international transcript; Utah exam applications go to NASBA's CPA Examination Services with transcripts and foreign evaluations.
Utah publishes no translation rule of its own, and NACES members such as World Education Services (WES) accept translations from a professional translation service, so they accept certified translations from services such as eVerbary. We translate your records; the evaluator and NASBA do the rest.
Utah Board at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Utah requires an evaluation by a NACES member (NASBA Licensing Services: Utah); WES, a NACES member (NACES), accepts translations by a professional translator, including a certified translation agency or other professional translation service (WES), so eVerbary's certified translations meet the rule. Policy checked on November 12, 2026.

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.

Utah Board requirements in detail
Translation
Utah's published instructions set no translation rule; the evaluator's applies. WES requires translations of documents not in English for US evaluations (WES).
Who may translate
For WES: a professional translator, such as a certified translation agency or other professional service; not the applicant (WES).
Evaluation
An evaluation report completed and submitted by a NACES member (NASBA Licensing Services: Utah).
How to submit
The original evaluation goes from the evaluator directly to NASBA, with a copy of the international transcript for each evaluation; photocopies are not accepted (NASBA Licensing Services: Utah). For the exam, transcripts and foreign evaluations go to CPAES (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Utah).
What is measured
For the exam, 24 semester hours of upper-division and graduate accounting covering financial accounting, auditing, taxation, managerial or cost accounting and accounting information systems or data analytics, plus 12 hours of business coursework (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Utah).
Fees
$96 education evaluation application and $96 exam application (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Utah); $65 for the initial license application through NASBA (NASBA Licensing Services: Utah).
Professional training
Coursework from a Chartered Accountant or similar program is professional training and is not accepted (NASBA Licensing Services: Utah).
Exam and license, two NASBA offices
Utah uses NASBA twice.
CPA Examination Services takes the exam application, with transcripts and foreign evaluations (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Utah); NASBA Licensing takes the license application, where the rule for international candidates is written out: a NACES member completes and submits the evaluation (NASBA Licensing Services: Utah).
The exam page does not name an evaluator; NIES, which is not on the NACES list (NACES), lists Utah among the jurisdictions it evaluates for (NIES).
A single NACES evaluation, sent to both offices if needed, avoids paying twice. Ask the evaluator for a course-by-course report, since Utah counts accounting hours by subject (NASBA CPA Examination Services: Utah).
Translation for a NACES evaluator
WES wants word-for-word translations in the same order as the original, made by a professional translator, and does not accept translations made by applicants (WES). If you use NIES instead, it accepts any ATA member, your university or the ministry (NIES).
The Division of Professional Licensing's own pages did not load for us on November 12, 2026, so this page relies on NASBA's Utah pages (NASBA Licensing Services: Utah, NASBA CPA Examination Services: Utah).
Need a certified translation for Utah 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
- Records of accounting courses by subject (financial, audit, tax, cost, systems)
- Course descriptions, if the evaluator 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 Utah Board
The translation goes to the NACES evaluator you choose, under its instructions; WES takes translations uploaded to your WES account (WES). The evaluator sends the original report to NASBA with a copy of your international transcript (NASBA Licensing Services: Utah).
eVerbary delivers a signed PDF you can upload, and can also mail a hard copy in a sealed, signed envelope: choose it at checkout ($19.95 Priority or $37.95 Express in the US) and write in the order notes that it is for the Utah 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 Utah that means we translate your records for the evaluator; we do not order the evaluation or file your NASBA applications, and NASBA and the Division decide eligibility.
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.
