Verify Academic Credentials with Confidence
Validate academic degrees, certifications, and education credentials
through direct institutional verification that confirms degree type, major,
graduation date, and credential authenticity.
WHY IT'S BETTER
Education and degree verification confirms degree authenticity and prevents credential fraud that allows unqualified candidates to reach positions requiring specific academic qualifications.
Credentials are verified directly with issuing institutions including colleges, universities, certification bodies, and professional licensing boards.
License status is monitored continuously after hire with alerts detecting expirations, suspensions, and disciplinary actions as licensing boards publish updates.
Automated checks accelerate verification for standard cases while manual follow up applies human persistence to complex situations requiring additional investigation.
Standardized reporting presents education verification results in consistent formats that enable uniform adjudication across all candidates and reviewers.
Verification follows FERPA institutional release policies and applicable regulations. Documentation supports defensible hiring practices.
A Structured Education and Degree Verification Workflow
Accurate credential verification from submission through institutional confirmation in four steps:
Submit Candidate Information
Candidate provided education details are submitted including institution name, degree type, major, graduation date, and any professional certifications.
Institution and Board Outreach
Registrar offices, certification bodies, or licensing boards are contacted through secure verification portals, direct phone contact, and approved credential verification services.
Verification and Review
Credentials are validated directly with issuing institutions to confirm degree authenticity, major accuracy, and graduation date verification.
Receive Standardized Results
A clear report summarizes verified credentials with institution confirmation, degree details, and any limitations or discrepancies that require attention.
Reliable Credential Insight with Compliance for Good™
Education and degree verification supports informed hiring decisions through direct institutional confirmation, standardized reporting, and compliance aligned workflows.
Trust & Compliance
Education and degree verification workflows follow institutional privacy rules and regulatory requirements. Audit trails and secure handling support defensible hiring outcomes.
Degrees, professional certifications, trade school completions, continuing education credits, and professional licenses can be verified through registrar offices, certification bodies, and licensing boards. Verification scope depends on what institutions and boards release and what authorization candidates provide. GCheck verifies all credential types that roles require, ensuring complete academic and professional credential validation rather than partial checking that leaves gaps where fraud hides.
Registrar offices are contacted through secure verification portals, direct phone contact with verification departments, and approved third-party credential verification services. International institutions are contacted through established networks and ministry of education channels. GCheck’s multi-channel approach ensures successful institutional contact regardless of verification method preferences, preventing the communication failures that cause verification delays and incomplete results.
Yes, professional license status, issuance date, expiration date, license class, practice authority, and disciplinary history are verified directly with state licensing boards and professional regulatory agencies. Verification includes confirmation that licenses are current, unrestricted, and free from disqualifying disciplinary actions. GCheck’s license verification ensures candidates hold valid, unrestricted professional licenses before hire, preventing the unlicensed practice that creates legal liability and regulatory violations.
Alternative verification methods including transcript review, diploma validation, and approved credential evaluation services are used when institutions don’t respond to direct inquiries. Unresponsive institutions don’t prevent verification but may extend timelines. GCheck’s alternative verification methods ensure education claims are verified even when institutions are difficult to reach, preventing verification failures from forcing hiring delays or credential uncertainty.
Most domestic education verification completes within 2-5 business days through registrar office response, though summer breaks, semester transitions, and high-volume periods may extend timelines. International verification typically requires 5-10 business days due to time zones and international communication processes. GCheck provides realistic timing expectations that help you plan hiring timelines, preventing the unrealistic expectations that create candidate frustration when verification takes longer than anticipated.
International education challenges include varying academic systems and degree structures, language barriers requiring translation, credential evaluation for equivalency determination, and fraudulent institutions that don’t exist or operate as diploma mills. Some countries lack centralized education databases while others restrict foreign verification access. GCheck’s international expertise navigates these challenges through established evaluation networks, ensuring foreign education receives the same thorough verification that domestic degrees undergo.
