Education Verification Services

Standard education verification averages 72 hours (3 business days) from authorization to report delivery. Turnaround time varies based on institution responsiveness, with 85% of verifications completed within this timeframe. International credentials may require 5-7 business days due to time zones and communication methods. Rush services are available for urgent needs with 24-48 hour completion.

We verify degree or diploma earned, major/field of study, dates of attendance, graduation date and status, honors or distinctions received, and institutional accreditation status. For international credentials, we also provide U.S. equivalency determination. All verifications are conducted through direct institutional contact with registrar offices, not through candidate-provided documents.

Our AI-powered system cross-references institutions against databases of 2,500+ known degree mills, verifies accreditation with 200+ recognized bodies, analyzes institutional characteristics for red flags, and validates physical campus existence and operational history. We maintain real-time updates from government education agencies and international watchlists to identify new fraudulent institutions immediately.

Yes, we verify credentials from 195 countries with expertise in diverse education systems. Our services include direct institutional verification, U.S. equivalency determination, accreditation validation in country of origin, and comprehensive evaluation reports. We have native-speaking specialists and partnerships with international clearinghouses for accurate verification across language and cultural barriers.

We maintain relationships with state education departments and national archives that hold records for closed institutions. We access alternative verification sources including state repositories, accreditation body archives, and successor institution records. If verification is impossible through traditional means, we provide detailed documentation of our attempts and alternative validation methods used.

We obtain proper candidate authorization with FCRA-compliant disclosure forms, maintain complete audit trails of all verification activities, follow strict adverse action procedures when necessary, and provide candidates with dispute resolution rights. All processes are regularly audited for compliance, and we maintain comprehensive documentation for regulatory review.

We make multiple contact attempts through various channels (phone, email, portal), escalate to department heads or alternative contacts, document all verification attempts thoroughly, and provide detailed explanation of verification obstacles. We never report unverified information and clearly indicate when verification could not be completed, along with reasons and recommendations for next steps.

While our primary focus is academic credentials, we can verify professional certifications and licenses as part of comprehensive background checks. This includes medical licenses, bar admissions, professional certifications (CPA, PE, etc.), and industry-specific credentials. These verifications are conducted through direct contact with issuing bodies and licensing boards.
