High-risk countries and surcharges
Why some countries carry an additional verification surcharge.
A country may be deemed high risk for verification because additional work is commonly required to complete checks from that country.
Why a country may be classed as high risk
- Qualifications from that country often take several attempts to verify.
- The average surcharge or third-party cost may be higher.
- Additional due diligence and quality assurance is often required to ensure responses are from trusted sources.
