ACREVS Pros and Cons

Pros

• Affordable compared to other credential evaluation services.

Cons

• Credit card payments are not accepted (the company only accepts debit payments, checks, and money orders).
• Original documents required.
• An online application tracking system is not available, but applicants can always call or visit their office to find out the status of their evaluation.

Submission Details

• Original documents required. ACREVS sends back these documents to applicants together with the evaluation report.
• If the documents are in any other language other than English, an official English translation should be included.

Note from ACREVS

Regarding transcripts from India, the applicants can send us their mark sheets which we “Return” back to them after we have had a chance to verify them for authenticity. They get these back with their evaluation.

With the internet and advanced copying/printing technologies the issue of fraudulent documents is something we all have to try and weed out.
