Frequently Asked Questions
Equivalency Assistance Questions
Can SchoolDocs guarantee equivalency approval?
No. Final decisions are made by the relevant authority. SchoolDocs supports document preparation and the application journey.
Which qualifications can be reviewed?
We can initially review school and higher-education qualifications and confirm whether our support is relevant.
Will my certificates need attestation?
They may. The requirement depends on the qualification, issuing country and authority process.
Can you help with missing documents?
We can identify apparent gaps and explain what may need to be obtained from the institution or applicant.
Can translation be included?
Where relevant and available, translation can be included with other document-preparation services.
How long does the process take?
Authority processing times vary. The expected timing for SchoolDocs services is confirmed separately from authority review.
