Important Information

One Earth evaluates original* or official copies** of academic documents. We will not accept photocopies, faxed, scanned or notarized copies of academic documents except when the authenticity of the credentials can be directly verified by the issuing institution, examination board or ministry.

*Original documents refer to first-issue credentials in your possession issued by the awarding institution, examination board or ministry on official letterhead and bearing original ink stamp(s) / signature(s) of the appropriate official(s). Original documents can be returned to students upon completion of the evaluation report. Original credentials must be submitted with our certification of authenticity.

**Official copies refer to credentials attested (copied/stamped) by the awarding institution, examination board or ministry and placed in a sealed envelope with a seal, stamp or signature across the seal. Official copies can be mailed to One Earth directly by the issuing body or given to you to submit to us, but the envelope must remain sealed. One Earth does not return sealed envelope documents.

One Earth does not evaluate non-academic occupational or trade qualifications.

One Earth reserves the right to contact your institution, examining board or educational authorities to verify the authenticity of your documents.  If your documents are found to be altered, fabricated or otherwise inauthentic, they will not be returned, no evaluation report will be issued, no refund given and all appropriate authorities will be notified.
