EDUCATION VERIFICATION

Degrees Confirmed With the Institution, Not the Candidate

Degree, diploma, and certificate verification confirmed directly with the issuing institution, not just checked against a copy the candidate provided.

Why Education Verification

A degree certificate can be genuine, altered, or entirely fabricated — and a photocopy can't tell you which. Education verification confirms the record directly with the school, college or university that issued it.

This matters most in regulated professions and leadership roles, where a fabricated credential carries the highest cost if it's discovered after the hire, not before.

Why People Diligence

Global providers know the world. Regional players know one market. People Diligence was built to know both — pairing international reach with the local compliance depth that catches what a generic check misses.

110+ on-the-ground partners across 22+ countries mean every check is verified locally, under local regulatory requirements — not run through a subcontractor with no real specialization in that market.

Compliance & Data Protection

Every report is produced under strict confidentiality, with candidate consent, and in line with applicable data-protection, AML, KYC, and regulatory obligations in each jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

It varies by country and institution — some respond within days, others take longer depending on how digitized their records are. Your account team will give you a realistic timeline upfront.
We trace the current record-holder — often a merged institution or a national education authority — and verify through them instead.
