Receiving Documents Directly from Institutions
• Documents must be sent directly to WES, or its partners (licensing bodies and academic institutions), by the institution for credentials from countries where this is common practice• At present this is required for 162 countries (from Anguilla to
Zimbabwe)
• Documents from countries where it is not common practice to send directly, are submitted for verification to the institution that issued them• Requests are sent via mail, fax and e-mail• E-Mail and Fax responses are accepted only in instances where it
is known common practice
