Education & Admissions

A forged transcript wastes committee time — and compromises your institution.

Fraudulent academic documents are a global problem. From altered transcripts to fabricated admission letters and fake enrolment certificates, bad actors exploit the high volume of applications that admissions teams process. Automated verification protects institutional integrity without slowing down your process.

The problem

What fraud looks like in education & admissions

Forged transcripts with edited grades

Grade entries, GPA calculations, and course names are altered on otherwise genuine transcripts. Table row alignment and cumulative credit total consistency checks expose the edits.

Fabricated degree certificates

Certificates from non-existent or misrepresented institutions, complete with convincing seals and signatures. Embossed seal analysis, font consistency, and institutional identifier checks flag the forgeries.

Fraudulent enrolment and admission letters

Letters claiming current enrolment or acceptance at prestigious institutions, used to obtain visas or scholarships. Letterhead plausibility, domain authenticity, and signatory title analysis catch inconsistencies.
