Education & License Verification

Education verification

We confirm the degree, diploma, or certificate a candidate claims directly with the issuing institution or its authorized verification service — colleges, universities, junior and community colleges, and trade schools.

• Institution attended and that enrollment occurred
• Degree, diploma, or certificate awarded and the field of study
• Dates attended and date of graduation
• Diploma-mill screening — flagging "institutions" that sell credentials without accredited coursework

Professional license verification

For licensed roles, we verify the credential with the issuing board or authority and confirm it is real, current, and clean.

• License or certification type and number
• Current status — active, expired, suspended, or revoked
• Issue and expiration dates
• Public disciplinary actions or restrictions on record with the board

Why it matters

A fabricated degree or a lapsed, suspended, or revoked license is a direct liability — in regulated fields it can void insurance, breach a contract, or expose you to a negligent-hiring claim. Verifying at the source, rather than trusting a copy of a certificate, is the only way to be sure.

How to order it

Education and degree verification is included in our Professional and Professional Plus reports and available as an add-on on any package. Professional license checks are scoped to the specific credential and board. Turnaround depends on the responsiveness of the institution or board.
