Verify education and degree records.
Confirms degree, major, and dates through U.S. clearinghouses or direct registrar contact. Diploma mills, closed schools, and foreign universities take longer; partner CRAs know the difference.
Also called degree verification, diploma check, NSC verification.

What it covers
Degree earned, institution, and dates confirmed by registry or school- Attendance-only when ordered and the school will confirm it
Verify the degree only if the role requires it — otherwise it just adds cost and turnaround. Method matters: National Student Clearinghouse vs registrar vs a candidate-uploaded scan, and international education is a separate product.
What it covers
- Degree earned, institution, and dates confirmed by registry or school
- Attendance-only when ordered and the school will confirm it
What it doesn’t cover
Judge institutional quality or accreditation unless added as a separate question- Prove competence
- Cover foreign schools via U.S. clearinghouses — see international verifications
Where the data comes from.
Degree clearinghouses
Fast for participating U.S. institutions.
Registrar contact
Everything else, including schools that never joined a clearinghouse.
Why identity comes first.
A slightly wrong DOB makes a real degree fail to verify — or someone else's succeed. vID's document identity is the input the registrar should get.
How the network fulfills it.
Partners in the network already handle closed schools and diploma mills. A self-serve portal that only hits one clearinghouse does not.
This is the wrong search if…
The job posting said “degree preferred” and you do not actually care
Then do not verify it. Verifying claims you will not use is how candidates wait.
