Faster Documents, Faster Evaluations at FACS

When you need an educational credential evaluation, every day matters. Whether you are applying to a university, obtaining a CPA evaluation for examination or licensure, pursuing other professional licensure, meeting military recruitment requirements, or preparing for your next career opportunity, waiting for academic records can be one of the most time-consuming parts of the process.

At Foreign Academic Credentials Service (FACS), electronic records from universities and secondary schools are helping shorten that wait. Documents sent through accepted electronic methods reach us without international mailing delays, allowing complete applications to move into evaluation sooner.

Combined with our standard processing time of three to five business days, faster document delivery is reducing the time between the initial application and the issued report.

When Does Processing Begin?

Our three to five business day processing period begins once your application is complete and all required documents have been received. Your institution’s preparation and delivery time is separate, and additional verification or clarification may affect an individual file’s timeline.

Electronic documents must come directly from the issuing institution or an authorized agent through an accepted delivery method. Applicant uploads and forwarded emails do not replace required official records.

Help Your Application Move Faster

Submit your FACS application promptly, request all required records early, and ask your university or secondary school about official electronic delivery. Following our document instructions from the start helps prevent avoidable delays.

As a Charter Member of NACES, FACS combines decades of evaluation experience with faster document delivery and processing to help you move forward sooner.
