How we know · policy checked on October 27, 2026
Ensign College publishes no translation rule of its own: international applicants send their secondary or college transcripts to an approved evaluation agency, IERF (preferred, detail report) or TEC, and Ensign discards international transcripts that arrive without an evaluation.
Ensign's evaluation agency IERF accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. You order the translation first and send it to the agency; the agency writes the evaluation, which we do not provide.

Ensign requirements in detail
Translation
Ensign states no translation rule; records from abroad reach it through an evaluation. The translation is what the agency needs before it can evaluate a document not in English.
Who may translate
Set by the evaluation agency (see below).
Agencies
International Education Research Foundation (IERF), preferred, with the detail report; or TEC (formerly SpanTran), with a course analysis (Ensign College: international admissions).
First-year
Secondary school completed outside the US: the official secondary transcript goes to IERF or TEC (Ensign College: international admissions).
Transfer
24 or more college credits: college transcripts only; fewer than 24: secondary records for grades 9 to 12 and college transcripts, all to the agency (Ensign College: international admissions).
Deadlines
International applicants: November 15, 2026 for winter 2027, March 1, 2027 for spring, July 1, 2027 for fall (Ensign College: international admissions).
What each evaluation agency asks for the translation
IERF, Ensign's preferred agency, asks for typed, line-by-line, word-for-word translations in the same format as the original, does not require certified or notarized ones, and reserves the right to ask for a professional translation; its glossary calls one required.
Select Ensign College as the recipient and choose the detail report (international admissions).
TEC asks for an outside translator certified by the American Translators Association, or translates through its own team. If you choose TEC, eVerbary can assign an ATA-certified translator through a free quote, for the languages ATA certifies.
Send records to the agency, not to Ensign
Ensign asks applicants not to send international transcripts directly, and discards any that are not properly evaluated (Ensign College: international admissions).
Plan the agency time into the deadline: Ensign suggests getting documents to IERF or TEC four to six weeks before the application deadline.
Transcripts from US colleges go a different way, through Parchment, the National Student Clearinghouse, collegetranscript@byu.edu or CES Central Processing in Provo, using one method only.
Need a certified translation for Ensign?
$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.
Documents applicants usually translate
- Secondary school transcripts, grades 9 to 12
- Secondary diploma or leaving certificate
- College transcripts, for transfer applicants
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 exactly as recorded, with the grading scale the document prints. We never convert marks to a US GPA.
- A signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead, with our contact details, delivered as a PDF you can upload.
- $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.
Uploading the translation to Ensign
The translation goes to IERF or TEC with your records, never to Ensign directly; the agency sends the evaluation to Ensign College (Ensign College: international admissions).
What we do not do
eVerbary is a translation service, not a credential evaluation service: we do not issue evaluations, US equivalencies or GPA conversions, and we cannot send documents on behalf of the school that issued them.
For Ensign that means we translate your records for IERF or TEC; the evaluation is ordered by you from the agency.
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 upload it with the copy of the original wherever the institution asks for it.
