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${\rightarrow}$S/G.

We discuss the relationship between interval-valued fuzzy ideals and interval-valued fuzzy congruence on a distributive lattice L and show that for a generalized Boolean algebra the lattice of interval-valued fuzzy ideals is isomorphic to the lattice of interval-valued fuzzy congruences. Finally we consider the products of interval-valued fuzzy ideals and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an interval-valued fuzzy ideal on the direct sum of lattices to be representable as a direct sum of interval-valued fuzzy ideals on each lattice.

We introduce the concepts of interval-valued fuzzy complete inner-unitary subsemigroups and interval-valued fuzzy group congruences on a semigroup. And we investigate some of their properties. Also, we prove that there is a one to one correspondence between the interval-valued fuzzy complete inner-unitary subsemigroups and the interval-valued fuzzy group congruences on a regular semigroups.
