Where your documents go

Courier address (verified from ecfmg.org):

Intealth / ECFMG Certification Program 3624 Market Street, 1st Floor Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA

ECFMG (now a division of Intealth) explicitly recommends trackable courier delivery for physical documents. Note their standing instruction: do NOT send original documents unless a specific ECFMG notice asks for them — most credentials move digitally via the ECFMG portal / EMSWP, and physical shipments are usually school verification letters or specifically-requested forms.

Reference number & envelope rules

Reference: USMLE/ECFMG identification number (8 digits) — on every document, the envelope and our courier label
Envelope: Ship exactly what ECFMG requested in your notice — typically medical-school verification letters in the school's sealed envelope, or notarized forms. Photocopies stay with you; ECFMG advises against unsolicited originals.

How we ship it (our workflow)

You share your USMLE/ECFMG ID and the ECFMG notice or checklist naming the documents.
We check the document set against the notice and put your ID on the label and envelope.
Same-day dispatch from Delhi before the 1:30 PM cutoff — Philadelphia delivery is door-tracked.
You confirm receipt in your ECFMG on-line services account once processed.

Charges & timing — two clocks, kept separate

Worked example: 0.5 kg document envelope ≈ ₹2,703 (UPS), excl. 18% GST. Documents carry no commodity premium.

Express courier transit (our clock)

2-3 Working Days from Delhi dispatch, door-tracked. Same-day dispatch before the 1:30 PM cutoff.

ECFMG processing after delivery (their clock)

ECFMG typically reflects received documents in your on-line services account within about a week of delivery (varies by season and document type). Track our AWB to the Philadelphia door, then your ECFMG account for status.

Deadline guidance

The calendar is unforgiving: ERAS residency applications open in September, and exam-eligibility windows close on fixed dates. In August-September, send with at least two weeks of buffer over the courier transit — a missed ECFMG document deadline usually means waiting for the next cycle.

ECFMG courier — FAQs

Does ECFMG accept documents from the applicant, or only from my medical school?

Depends on the document: credential verifications generally must come from the medical school (often via EMSWP digitally), while specifically-requested forms can come from you. Follow your ECFMG notice exactly — we check the parcel against it at booking.

Should I courier my original MBBS degree to ECFMG?

No — ECFMG's standing guidance is not to send original documents unless explicitly instructed. Most verification is digital now; physical shipments are usually sealed school letters or notarized copies. If your notice does demand an original, we flag the parcel priority.

What does a document courier to ECFMG Philadelphia cost?

For example: 0.5 kg document envelope ≈ ₹2,703 (UPS), excl. 18% GST. No commodity premium on documents; 18% GST applies.

How fast can documents reach ECFMG before an ERAS deadline?

Courier transit is 2-3 Working Days from Delhi dispatch (book before the 1:30 PM cutoff for same-day). Add ECFMG's own processing time of roughly a week — so for a September ERAS deadline, dispatch by mid-August is the comfortable window.
