Verification Letters, Forms and Third Party Requests
About Verification Letters
Formal verification letters for an employer, Educational Institution, Embassy or other third-party organisation can be purchased from our online shop. A verification letter or form completion costs £15 and may take up to 4 working weeks to be produced.
This includes:
- All verification letter requests from former students
- Any forms confirming an award for third-parties whether requested by the student or third party directly
- All third-party letter requests and forms (with consent from the student)
Exceptions:
- An Embassy requesting the information directly can do so by emailing verifications@northampton.ac.uk with consent from the student
- World Education Services (WES) Requests, please see further information below
- Reference letter requests: if you require a reference letter confirming student status (i.e. course title, start and end dates) please complete the general letter request form. Please note that this will not confirm if an award was conferred as this can only be confirmed by the above verification process. If you have any queries regarding reference letters, please contact the Student Information Desk SID@northampton.ac.uk
- Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) Evaluation requests should contact studentrecordsehhs@northampton.ac.uk prior to purchasing a verification or certified copies
We use electronic stamps/signatures to authenticate documents. If you request for your certified copies or verification letter to be sent via post as well as email, this will be actioned the next time we are in the office.
If you require your documents to be sent to a third party, we recommend you provide us with their email address. This means that we can send them the completed verification directly so that it is sent from a university email address which will add to the authenticity of the verification.
We have an agreement with World Education Services (WES) to process requests electronically. Please note that any changes in requirements by WES, may result in a delay to our processes.
If you have any queries, please email verifications@northampton.ac.uk.
