Need a degree verification report for Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore?
For applicants with overseas qualifications, academic verification may be an important step between receiving an offer and completing the NTU admissions process.
The good news is that obtaining a verification report is relatively straightforward when you understand what information is required.
Here is how the process works.
What is a degree verification report?
A degree verification report provides independent confirmation that an academic qualification is genuine.
Instead of relying solely on the certificate submitted by an applicant, the verification process checks relevant information against an authoritative source.
This might confirm:
- the university that awarded the qualification;
- the degree obtained;
- whether the qualification was completed;
- relevant dates; and
- the identity of the graduate.
The objective is to provide NTU with independent evidence that the qualification being used for admission is authentic.
Where can I get degree verification for NTU?
Applicants should use a verification provider accepted for NTU admissions.
RMI is endorsed by Nanyang Technological University to verify the authenticity of certificates from applicants who wish to enrol at NTU.
You can submit your documents through RMI’s dedicated certificate verification service for NTU Singapore admissions.
RMI also conducts qualification checks for other Singapore requirements, including MOM education verification and education checks within its broader screening services.
How to complete NTU degree verification
Step 1: Check your NTU requirements
Start with the instructions provided by NTU.
Check which qualification needs to be verified and whether there are any particular requirements associated with your offer.
Doing this first reduces the risk of paying to verify a qualification that NTU has not requested.
Step 2: Prepare your certificate
You will need the academic certificate associated with the qualification being verified.
Make sure the document is complete, clear and readable.
Submitting poor-quality photographs or cropped copies can make it more difficult to verify the information efficiently.
Step 3: Prepare your academic transcript
You may also need your academic transcript.
The transcript provides further evidence about your study and can help the verification provider match your information with records held by the institution.
Step 4: Check your personal details
Before submitting your documents, compare the information on your certificate, transcript and identification.
Your name should match the information held by your institution wherever possible.
A name change after graduation, different naming conventions or transliteration differences do not necessarily prevent verification, but additional evidence may be required.

Step 5: Submit your qualification for verification
Once your documents are ready, you can submit your verification request.
RMI then works to verify the academic qualification with the relevant institution or source.
The method will depend on where you studied. Some universities provide digital verification systems, while others require direct communication with their registrar or administrative team.
Step 6: Respond to any additional requests
Sometimes a qualification cannot be verified using the initial information supplied.
The verification team may ask you for another document, additional consent or clarification of your personal details.
Responding promptly can help avoid unnecessary delays.
Step 7: Receive your verification report
Once the academic information has been successfully confirmed, the verification process can be completed and a report issued for your NTU requirements.
How long does NTU degree verification take?
Applicants should allow enough time for the process.
RMI states that its NTU verification service has an average turnaround time of approximately 15 business days, with some exceptions depending on where the educational institution is located.
There are several reasons why one qualification might take longer to verify than another.
For example:
- the university may need to retrieve older records;
- the institution might require specific consent;
- university offices may be closed for holidays;
- academic records may not be digitally accessible; or
- further documents may be required.
The verification provider cannot always control how quickly a university responds.
Starting early therefore gives you more time to deal with unexpected requests.
Is education verification only required for university admissions?
No.
Education verification is increasingly used whenever an organisation needs reliable evidence that a qualification is authentic.
For example, Singapore employers may need to verify educational qualifications when making certain work pass applications. RMI provides a dedicated MOM education verification service for this purpose.
Employers also use background screening and qualification verification to confirm candidate credentials during recruitment.
That means completing academic verification for NTU may not be the last time you encounter this type of check during your education and career.
