# Why verification is important

## Why organisations verify qualifications during admissions or onboarding.

Verification helps organisations make confident, evidence-based decisions during admissions, onboarding or membership processes.

## Key reasons to verify

- **Authenticity:** confirm that a qualification was genuinely awarded by the authority claimed.
- **Compliance:** support legal, regulatory or accreditation requirements where verified qualifications are needed.
- **Risk mitigation:** reduce the risk of appointing or admitting individuals with falsified or misrepresented credentials.
- **Trust and integrity:** reinforce confidence in high-stakes decisions.

**Need support?**
