The Institute of Foreign Credential Services (IFCS) provides academic credential evaluations, document authentication, research and professional translations to colleges, universities, immigration attorneys, employers, private agencies, and other corporate clients. We do all of this to help our clients economize on the time they may otherwise spend in trying to manage admissions and transfers from international universities.
IFCS is unique among evaluation services by virtue of the personal attention applied to each and every account and through the partnerships we have built among individual institutions and organizations. Another major distinguishing factor is experience of the IFCS evaluators themselves. Our senior staff members are recognized experts and opinion leaders in foreign credential evaluations. They are regular contributors to publications, and conferences organized by organizations such as NAFSA , AACRAO, and International Association of Universities.

- Tailored evaluations in accordance with your admissions and transfer policies
- 15% discount over our standard prices and the convenience of paying on monthly bases
- Direct access to our senior evaluators
- Electronic Evaluation reports sent directly to the person who handles international admission
