How to check the authenticity of a diploma

While hiring, some employers check the authenticity of potential employees. This is not surprising - there are many fraudulent organizations on the market that are engaged in the creation of fake documents. It is very sad, but many of them even have special equipment for the manufacture of diplomas or agree with public services.

Any university maintains a register of issued diplomas. You can send a request addressed to the rector to the educational institution that issued the document to the applicant. In most cases, universities refuse to provide any information. If you are refused, make an official appeal on the company's company form. Be sure to indicate the purpose of this appeal. Ask the applicant to put your signature on the form. Thus, it will be clear that it does not interfere with the decision to check the document for originality.

If your company has a security department, ask the boss to check the originality of the diploma. He must have his own connections in law enforcement and other state bodies. You can also write a statement to the prosecutor’s office yourself. Professional examination using special equipment will help to conduct a competent check. After that, experts will give you their opinion.

If you are very interested in a candidate or you need to urgently find a professional, contact a detective agency. You will have to pay for these services, but as you know, time is more valuable than money. Try to call the dean’s office yourself, the department or the university secretariat. Try to find out if the graduate studied there. If you can’t provide information, ask exactly where it can be clarified. Another good option is social networks. Find graduates of the university and the corresponding group. Ask them if they are familiar with the applicant.

Carefully consider the document. The diploma is made of special paper - stamp. Its manufacture is quite expensive. Fit the material. It should be tough enough, but pleasant to the touch. It should also be attended by watermarks, print, signature. Take the magnifying glass and look at the crosses on the crowns and power, the eye of the horse on the shield and other small details. There should be thirteen beads on the power. All these icons and figures should be very clear. A poor fake will be visible immediately-due to a certain blurred image.

Each form of this diploma has a marking. According to it, a specialist can determine where the original was issued, what type of documents the documents belongs, etc. This sign is located immediately under the word "diploma". You may need it for a call to the university. Make a photocopy of the document. If the original is real, the word “copy” will be clearly visible on the copy.

If you have an ultraviolet lamp, bring a diploma to it. The original should shimmer with green figures. There are no watermarks, since there are applied by the print method that deformed the paper. In most cases, fake watermarks are applied with transparent paint, so they will glow. Silk threads, interspersed into the original diploma, should glow very brightly, since they are saturated with a special composition.

It is very difficult to distinguish an original diploma from a fake. In addition, some students buy diplomas directly in universities, so the presence of a document on the education acquired does not yet guarantee the presence of relevant knowledge. If you still want to check the diploma for authenticity, without fail, check for the knowledge of the applicant.
