What Is an Online Document Verification Portal?

An online document verification portal is a web based service that connects an organization with people who need documents submitted, processed or verified.

The portal can provide selected services to students, graduates, employers, suppliers, applicants, customers, partners and other external users while internal staff continue to process documents through controlled workflows.

Why Institutions Need External Document Services

Many institutional processes involve people who are not employees. A graduate may need a certificate verified. A supplier may submit a document for processing. An employer may need to confirm a qualification.

Requiring every external user to visit a physical office can create avoidable delays and administrative workload.

External User Accounts

A portal can allow external users to create accounts that are separate from internal staff accounts. The organization can define exactly which services external users are permitted to access.

Online Document Submission

Users can submit documents electronically and provide the information needed for processing. The institution receives the request through its internal workflow rather than through uncontrolled email attachments.

Selecting the Correct Department

Large organizations may have many departments and offices. Allowing users to select the relevant service or office can improve routing and reduce submissions going to the wrong team.

Tracking Document Status

External users benefit from visibility into the progress of their requests. A status such as submitted, under review, approved, processed or completed can reduce repeated calls and emails.

Digital Stamping and Signing

Where organizational policy permits, authorized staff can process submitted documents using digital institutional stamps and electronic signatures.

QR Verification

Completed documents can include a QR code that leads to an online verification service. This provides employers and other recipients with a way to check the document reference after it has been issued.

Notifications

Notifications can keep external users informed when a submission is received, when additional action is required and when processing is complete.
