Find Out Your U.S. Degree Equivalent<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhile credential evaluation determines how your education compares to U.S. academic standards, verification of documents addresses a different but equally important question: Are your documents real? Increasingly, universities, employers, and licensing boards require verification to protect against fraud and ensure fairness in decision-making. They rely on professional verification services to confirm that academic records are accurate, legitimate, and issued by the appropriate authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The demand for verified documents has grown significantly over the years. With increased global mobility and a more complex educational landscape, institutions must be able to trust that the records they receive reflect genuine academic achievement. This is where verified credentials become especially important. When your documents are verified through a trusted provider like The Evaluation Company, they gain an added level of assurance\u2014demonstrating that your academic history aligns with official standards in your country of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Individuals pursue document verification for a variety of reasons. Some are applying to graduate programs with strict admissions criteria. Others are professionals in regulated fields like teaching, engineering, or healthcare who need to meet licensure requirements. Undergraduate applicants may need to prove they graduated high school. In each case, verification bridges the gap between international education and U.S. expectations, ensuring your credentials are recognized and respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At The Evaluation Company (TEC), formerly known as SpanTran, we\u2019ve developed a streamlined process to make verification as efficient and transparent as possible. Once your application is submitted through our secure online portal, our team reviews your documents to determine what requires verification. From there, you\u2019ll have two options: You can arrange the verification yourself by requesting that your academic institution send official documents directly to us\u2014either by email or mail\u2014or you can opt into our Document Verification Service (DVS). With DVS, we take the lead, contacting your institution directly to obtain official confirmation on your behalf. Once the documents are confirmed, they are marked as verified and this status is reflected in your evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turnaround time can vary based on the responsiveness of your institution and the processes in place in your country. Some cases require additional follow-up or communication. However, our team is experienced in navigating diverse academic systems worldwide, and makes use of a network of verification services to ensure transparency and minimize delays. Our goal is to complete every verification thoroughly and efficiently while meeting all institutional requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s also important to distinguish document verification from certified translation. If your academic records are not in English, a certified translation is required before we can begin the verification process. These two steps\u2014translation and verification\u2014work hand in hand to ensure your documents are accepted and clearly understood by U.S. organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
