Introduction
If your credential evaluation application with WES, IQAS, ICAS, NASBA, or ECCTIS (UK NARIC) is currently on hold, you may be facing a transcript re-verification request – a secondary verification process initiated by the evaluation agency after your official transcripts have already been submitted. This can happen even if you used a professional transcript procurement service like Edvantage Transcript Procurement or arranged for your university to send documents through official channels.
What Is Transcript Re-Verification in the Credential Evaluation Process?
Transcript re-verification (also called secondary verification or document authentication) is a step in which the credential evaluation agency independently contacts your university or institution to confirm the authenticity of the academic documents you submitted. This is separate from the initial submission process and can put your WES evaluation, IQAS assessment, or ECCTIS document verification on hold while awaiting a response.
Why Do Credential Evaluation Agencies Request Secondary Verification?
There are several common reasons why agencies like WES, IQAS, ICAS, NASBA, and ECCTIS initiate re-verification:
- Document fraud patterns – When multiple fraudulent or forged transcripts are detected from a particular institution, the agency may flag all applications from that university for secondary verification – including legitimate graduates.
- Non-compliance with submission guidelines – Each evaluation agency has strict document submission protocols. If the sending university does not follow the required format or process (e.g., WES document submission guidelines), the documents may be flagged for follow-up.
- Routine spot-check verification – Some agencies conduct random secondary verification as part of their standard quality assurance process.
- ECCTIS-specific cases – For UK ECCTIS applications, this often occurs when a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter or supporting document cannot be independently confirmed.
How to Clear a Transcript or MoI Re-Verification Request
Resolving a secondary verification hold requires coordinated action between you, your university, and the evaluation agency.
Step 1 – Understand the hold notice. Read the exact language in your evaluation agency’s hold notice to identify which institution and document is under verification.
Step 2 – Contact your university’s verification/examination department. Most Indian universities do not respond to secondary verification emails automatically. You typically need to visit or formally request the university to respond to the agency’s confidential inquiry – a fee is usually involved.
Step 3 – Follow the agency’s prescribed process. Make sure your university follows the specific verification response format required by WES, IQAS, ICAS, NASBA, or ECCTIS.Step 4 – Use a professional service if needed. If your university is unresponsive or unfamiliar with the process, a credential support service like Edvantage Solutions can assist in coordinating the re-verification response on your behalf.
