<p>If you are from India and want to work abroad, many countries require that international applicants provide verified documents as part of their job application. Primary source verification (PSV) has become a standard way to meet these regulatory requirements for immigration or working abroad. To clarify, PSV is an authentication process involving contacting the institution that awarded the credential to determine its genuineness. Therefore, if you are <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.trueprofile.io/member/jobs" target="_blank">applying for a job</a> overseas, you will need to verify your degree from India. </p>

<h2>The Benefits of Degree Verification</h2>
<p>In short, verifying your education is a critical part of background checks. Most importantly, it determines whether potential candidates have the background and skills they claim. In addition, it makes it easier for employers to hire you and shows employers that you are prepared and equipped to join their organization. </p>
<p>Above all, showing initiative to verify your degree is a wise move. Employers who conduct authentication checks and receive a negative result or a discrepancy are likely to discard those job applications without further consideration.</p>
<p>If you received an <a href="https://blog.trueprofile.io/4-steps-appeal-unable-to-verify-report/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Unable to Verify</a> or <a href="https://blog.trueprofile.io/how-to-appeal-a-negative-or-unable-to-verify-result/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Negative</a> result on your verification, you could appeal your result by providing additional documents or information to prove your degree’s authenticity. </p>
<p>Taking the initiative to verify your degree also means you are taking charge of your career by taking steps to prepare for any eventualities that might delay your career progression. Proving the genuineness of your degree or education credentials in advance lets you <a href="https://blog.trueprofile.io/trueproof-how-to-share-your-verified-credentials/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">share your TrueProof</a> with potential employers as and when you want.</p>
