International Education - Evaluation

If you received your education from a college or university outside the United States, you must have your education evaluated by a Board recognized evaluation service to determine equivalency with Washington State requirements.

You must do this before applying for the CPA exam or for the CPA license. This process can take longer than 60 days to complete. 

Please note, beginning April 1, 2012, a copy of the international transcript(s) must be included with the report sent to the Board for each individual evaluation from the evaluation service. The application will be considered incomplete without these documents and the processing of the application will not move forward until transcripts are provided.

Ask the service to:

  1. Provide you with a 'course-by-course' evaluation and
  2. Send the evaluation to:
