Overview
Letters of recommendation play a critical role in admissions, hiring, and professional advancement. Yet, in a digital-first world, their authenticity is increasingly questioned. VerifyDoc enabled institutions and professionals to transform traditional recommendation letters into instantly verifiable documents, eliminating doubt and removing the need for manual confirmation.
The Challenge
Manual verification delays
Universities and employers frequently need to email referees, wait for confirmation, and follow up multiple times. This slows down decisions and creates friction.
Lack of ownership proof
Once a recommendation letter is shared, there is no embedded proof linking it back to the issuer.
The Solution
VerifyDoc introduced a verification layer for recommendation letters, ensuring each document carries its own proof.
- A unique QR code
- A live verification record
- Issuer-backed authentication
- A hosted certificate of authenticity
How It Works
- The referee, whether a professor, manager, or supervisor, creates the document as usual in Word or PDF.
- VerifyDoc attaches a secure verification record to the recommendation letter.
- A QR code is embedded directly into the letter.
- The recipient scans to instantly confirm issuer identity, document authenticity, and the original issuance record.
