We introduce the concept of interval-valued fuzzy congruences on a semigroup S and we obtain some important results: First, for any interval-valued fuzzy congruence $R_e$ on a group G, the interval-valued congruence class Re is an interval-valued fuzzy normal subgroup of G. Second, for any interval-valued fuzzy congruence R on a groupoid S, we show that a binary operation * an S=R is well-defined and also we obtain some results related to additional conditions for S. Also we improve that for any two interval-valued fuzzy congruences R and Q on a semigroup S such that $R{subset}Q$, there exists a unique semigroup homomorphism g : S/R${ ightarrow}$S/G.
