Legitimate degree or fake? Let Validata verify for you!
Exam fraud is not only unethical, but it can also be harmful. In the medical profession, it can lead to incorrect treatments and dangerous situations for patients. In the security sector, it can mean an increased risk to public safety. And in many other professions, it can result in lost time, money and resources for employers who rely on genuine qualifications.
Mishires are both costly and can damage your organisation’s reputation. Minimise risks and start reviewing candidates’ CVs and diplomas today.
Education and diplomas are checked directly at source
With Validata as your partner, you can be sure that you are making informed hiring decisions and building a strong and competent team. We are specialists in helping and facilitating organisations’ hiring process when it comes to background checks of candidates. We look beyond the surface and carefully scrutinise each diploma to ensure its authenticity. If there is no diploma registered in the official register, we contact the relevant institution to verify the information.
Verification on international diplomas
NUFFIC
International diplomas can also be checked. Validata therefore works closely with Nuffic and Qualification Check. Nuffic is a Dutch independent non-profit organisation focused on internationalisation in education, Nuffic analyses the authenticity and validity of the relevant diplomas. They also check whether the educational institution is accredited in the country of origin.
Professional and reliable data providers
Finally, Nuffic values the international diploma at the system level. Consider, for example, a Swedish bachelor’s or master’s degree. Nuffic does not make a factual comparison, nor does it distinguish between higher vocational education and training and university education.
There is an additional fee for checking an international diploma and foreign diplomas. You will receive this invoice as soon as Validata has requested verification from Nuffic. The average processing time at Nuffic can take up to 10 working days.

Unfortunately, the answer is yes, you can fake diplomas. There are individuals who cheat for employment with fake diplomas and educational documents.

How can I verify the authenticity of a diploma?
The best way to verify the authenticity of a diploma is to contact the institution directly. Or check with Ladok to see if the candidate in question is registered in their system. Falsified diplomas can also be carelessly made, which makes them detectable. To verify the actual existence of the institution, you can use UKÄ (University Chancellor’s Office) Högskolkolllen.

We verify the candidate’s diploma directly from the source through directly with the specified university. For international diplomas, we work with trusted data providers, such as Nuffic and Qualification check.
