Authentication serves as official recognition of your credentials by governments worldwide, including all United Nations member states. With the increasing circulation of fraudulent documents, it is essential that credentials are authenticated by the appropriate government agencies.
In the United States, the authentication process involves:
- County Registrars
- The Secretary of State of each state
- The U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
Most countries require this authentication before accepting foreign credentials as valid.
The Importance of the University of California FCE, Inc. Credential Evaluation Report
The U.S. Board of Examiners does not permit graduates from unaccredited U.S. colleges and universities to sit for board examinations. However, graduates from institutions authorized by State Private Postsecondary Education or State Higher Education Coordinating Boards must obtain a valid credential evaluation before being eligible for these exams.
The University of California FCE, Inc. is one of the few credential evaluators in the U.S. entrusted with assessing academic credits from both domestic and international institutions.
Individuals who have completed sufficient academic credits for a degree, even without officially earning one, may qualify for professional board examinations. They must present a valid experiential credit conversion conducted by an authorized credential evaluator. The U.S. Department of Education recognizes Experiential Credit Conversion for this purpose.
Additionally, various U.S. government jobs require a baccalaureate degree or an equivalency degree with sufficient experiential credits. Applicants for these positions must undergo a credential evaluation to verify their qualifications.
