A letter of graduation — what should you know about primary-source verification?

The subject of this page is “A letter of graduation”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The condition most often overlooked is that name spelling must match across every document in the set. Before starting, count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page. The specifics here are document type: Graduation, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are letter · graduation · know · primary-source. Degree titles, field names and grading scales follow the issuing institution's official wording rather than a fresh interpretation. Prepare at least one spare certified set, since applications usually go to several institutions at once. Verification of a medical qualification for overseas use is performed by the destination regulator — ECFMG and its EPIC primary-source verification in the United States, the General Medical Council in the United Kingdom, and the Australian Medical Council together with Ahpra in Australia — all of which verify directly with the issuing school, so a translation must match the original exactly. Many credential-evaluation bodies require the institution itself to send documents in a sealed envelope or through the institution's own electronic channel; an applicant or translator copy is not accepted as a substitute, so the body's own handbook must be read before translation is ordered. ILC handles document work only — translation, certification of the translation, notarial signature certification and the legalisation run at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies. ILC is not an educational institution or a credential-evaluation body and cannot guarantee recognition or admission. Cost and lead time depend on page count, language pair and the certification steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
