## Do I need a credential evaluation in addition to degree translation services?

The article states that translation is not evaluation: translation puts the document into English, while a credential evaluation is a separate opinion letter comparing a foreign degree with a U.S. equivalent. According to the article, published evaluation examples run from $100 to $199 and $160 to $235, separate from translation. It recommends asking a school or attorney in writing whether translation only or translation plus evaluation is required.
