Important Information

Before you review the list of documents to send to WES, please read this important information about specific requirements that may apply to you depending on the credentials you hold and the country or institution where you studied. This information will ensure that you send the right documents, which may help to expedite your evaluation.

 

WES reserves the right to verify all documents submitted for evaluation. If it is determined that verification is required, WES will contact your institution or other authorized source to authenticate your documents. Once a response is received, WES will proceed with your evaluation.

Do not send original documents. WES does not require any original documents to process a credential evaluation report. Documents that you submit for evaluation will not be returned and will be destroyed by WES at its sole discretion.

Your Requirements Checklist

Please review this list of required documents and how to send them. (Note to applicants: The checklist of required documents is based on the initial information you submit as part of your WES application. If the information is incorrect, we may need to request additional documents.)

 

1. Academic Transcript

This is an official document issued by the institution you attended. It must list all subjects taken and grades earned for each year of study.

For completed programs, a European Diploma Supplement in English is preferred if issued by your institution.

What you need to do:

Option 1

Please ask the institution you attended to send your document electronically to WES. If your institution does not have a digital arrangement with WES yet, please ask them to contact us to explore possible electronic delivery methods.

Option 2

If your institution is unable to send documents electronically, please ask them to send your document directly to WES in a sealed envelope that is signed or stamped across the back flap by the appropriate official at the institution.

Option 3

If the institution gives you the document to send to WES, it must be in a sealed envelope. If the envelope is opened or there is no stamp or signature across the back flap, WES cannot accept the document.

Do Not Send Original Documents. WES does not require any original documents. Documents that you submit will not be returned and will be destroyed by WES at its sole discretion.

Ask About Sending Digital Documents. Sending your academic documents digitally can expedite the completion of your report. Find out if your institution has a digital partnership with WES. Encourage them to get started today.

Pay the shipping charges. If you or your institution are sending your documents through a courier service, you must pay the shipping charges. WES is not responsible for unpaid shipping charges or any customs fees.
