Overview

Primary Source Verification (PSV) is a process used by DataFlow Group to verify the authenticity of an applicant's credentials directly with the organization or authority that originally issued them.

The verification process helps regulators, employers, and other organizations confirm that submitted qualifications and professional credentials are genuine and accurate.

How Does PSV Work?

The typical verification process involves:

1. The applicant submits the required documents and information.

2. DataFlow Group contacts the relevant issuing authority.

3. The issuing authority confirms the authenticity of the submitted credentials.

4. DataFlow Group reviews and validates the information received.

5. A final DataFlow verification report is generated and shared with the relevant regulator or organization.

What Documents Can Be Verified?

Depending on the selected verification package and regulator requirements, documents may include:

• Educational degrees

• Professional qualifications

• Academic transcripts

• Employment certificates

• Professional or health licenses

• Good Standing Certificates

How Long Does Verification Take?

The standard verification timeframe is generally 15–25 working days after payment and submission of a complete set of documents.

The timeframe may increase if documents are incomplete, additional information is required, or the issuing authority takes longer to respond.

How Can I Avoid Delays?

To help avoid delays:

• Submit clear and complete documents.

• Ensure the information entered in the application is accurate.

• Provide all required documents during the application.

• Respond promptly if DataFlow requests additional information.

Important Note

Verification timelines can vary depending on the issuing authority and the completeness of the application.
