Graduates of United States colleges and universities who are planning to live or work in a foreign country are often required to authenticate their degrees and diplomas. AERC handles all of the required procedures for diploma authentication. The length of time required for authentication varies depending on governmental and institutional processing time. AERC will only accept original documents for authentication: original transcripts of records, original diploma issued by the U.S. institution. This procedure applies only for U.S. graduates to proof legitimacy of the U.S. degree earned.
