Practical guidance for checking Brazilian credentials

Hiring in Brazil should not require your recruiter to learn the university records process in Portuguese. These guides explain the documents, choices, and common questions behind a verification, and show how VerifyBR helps you get clear answers in English.

Start with the question on your desk: is this an accredited institution, did the candidate earn the degree, or which screening package fits the hire? Research schools with our free Institution Lookup, use Credential Check to spot questions in the documents, and bring us in for Full Verification when you are ready to confirm the candidate’s education and identity.
