Nursing Evaluation
Services and Fees
Please note that there is a five-year limit on requests for copies of any evaluation. We are currently able to issue duplicate copies of reports dated 2005 and thereafter. For evaluations issued prior to 2005, a new report and new application fees are required.
IERF reserves the right to deny a request for a duplicate copy on the basis of changes that may have taken place in:
- the educational system of the country of study
- IERF policy
- the requirements of the institution/licensing board/agency to which the report is to be sent, since the time the initial report was issued
In such a case, a new report and new application fees are required. A separate form is required for services other than duplications/revisions of Nursing Evaluations.
