Whether your goal is university admission, employment, or professional licensure, one question often comes up early in the process: <em>Does the evaluation need to be completed by a NACES member?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases, the answer is yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding what NACES is, how its members operate, and why institutions rely on them provides important context for anyone navigating the evaluation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/evalcompany.com\/online-application\/\"><strong>Find Out Your U.S. Degree Equivalent<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Are NACES Members?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) is an organization that sets standards for credential evaluation in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NACES does not perform evaluations itself. Instead, it reviews and approves independent credential evaluation services that meet its guidelines for accuracy, consistency, and professional practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of this, many universities, licensing boards, and employers require applicants to use a <strong>NACES member evaluation service<\/strong> when submitting international academic credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like a more detailed explanation of how NACES works, you can read our <a href=\"https:\/\/evalcompany.com\/what-is-naces\/\">full guide to NACES<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NACES Members List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NACES includes a group of independent credential evaluation providers. While each organization operates separately, all members follow the same general framework for evaluating international academic credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current NACES members include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Academic Evaluation Services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Center for Applied Research, Evaluation and Education<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Educational Perspectives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Educational Records Evaluation Service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foreign Academic Credentials Service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foundation for International Services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Global Credential Evaluators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Globe Language Services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Institute of Foreign Credential Services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International Consultants of Delaware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International Education Evaluations (IEE)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International Education Research Foundation (IERF)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Josef Silny and Associates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Evaluation Company (TEC), formerly known as SpanTran<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transcript Research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>World Education Services (WES)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of these credential evaluation services is approved by NACES and provides evaluations used for admissions, employment, licensing, and immigration purposes in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the most up-to-date list, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/naces.org\/members\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official NACES members directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Choose the Right NACES Member<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since most institutions accept evaluations from any NACES member, the decision comes down to choosing the provider that best fits your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While all NACES members meet baseline standards, differences in turnaround time, pricing, and application experience can significantly impact your timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turnaround Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Processing times vary by provider. If you are working with an admissions, licensing, or immigration deadline, selecting a service with a faster turnaround can help you avoid delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing and Transparency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Costs depend on the type of evaluation, number of credentials, and whether translations are required. Look for a provider that offers clear, upfront pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluation Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure the service offers the correct evaluation type, such as course-by-course or document-by-document reports, depending on your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Application Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A streamlined application process with clear instructions and secure document upload can make the process faster and easier to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support and Communication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access to responsive support is important if you have questions about document requirements or need updates during the evaluation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Evaluation Company Within the NACES Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Evaluation Company has been a NACES member since 1996 and has decades of experience evaluating international academic credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our services include course-by-course evaluations, document-by-document reports, certified translations, and document verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process is designed to be straightforward, with an online application, secure document upload, and status tracking throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/evalcompany.com\/online-application\/\"><strong>Find Out Your U.S. Degree Equivalent<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display:none;\">\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"Article\",\n  \"headline\": \"NACES Members List and Credential Evaluation Services Guide\",\n  \"description\": \"A guide to NACES \u2014 the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services \u2014 including a full list of current NACES members, how to choose the right credential evaluation service, and how The Evaluation Company fits within the NACES network.\",\n  \"image\": \"https:\/\/evalcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/5.png\",\n  \"datePublished\": \"2026-03-27T00:00:00-05:00\",\n  \"dateModified\": \"2026-03-27T00:00:00-05:00\",\n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"The Evaluation Company\",\n    \"url\": \"https:\/\/evalcompany.com\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/evalcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tec.svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https:\/\/evalcompany.com\/naces-members\/\"\n  }\n}\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is the best NACES-approved credential evaluation service for US university admissions?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"The Evaluation Company (TEC) is a NACES member since 1996 that provides credential evaluations widely accepted by US universities for admissions purposes.
