Now that you have submitted your profile to CGFNS, they will review and ask you for any additional information. Once you’ve purchased your application, you will see it listed in your dashboard as “Credentials Evaluation Service (CES) – CES Professional Report Application“. Follow that link and scroll down to “Primary Source Documents” and you will find two PDF documents:
- Nursing Education form, and
- Request for License / Registration / Diploma – Nurse
Print out both of these documents, and sign the first page of both. You must mail the first form to your school, and the second to the nursing regulatory/licensing authority in your country of origin.
Inside each envelope, you can include an addressed, stamped return envelope to go to CGFNS. This might expedite the process. Make sure the return envelope is addressed to the following location:
CGFNS International, Inc.
3600 Market Street, Suite 400
Philadelphia, PA 19104-2651
United States
And the “from” addresses should be your school and the licensing authority, respectively.
Once these organizations mail in completed the completed forms, CGFNS will then reach out to each for verification. It can take 2 or 3 months for CGFNS to complete this process and return the translated credentials. In the meantime, you should consider taking the proficiency exam.
