Applicants who require a student visa are required to submit details of their academic documents for verification through the Qualification Check portal at King's Qualification Check website

Here, your awarding institution will verify your qualification, and confirmation will be shared with both you and King’s.

You will be contacted via King’s Apply regarding next steps in your application once your verified qualifications have been reviewed.

Each institution has its own verification procedures; the information and documents required to complete a verification will be listed when you select the relevant institution on your Qualification Check portal.

Notes:

1. Applicants must use the following url: kcl.qualificationcheck.com to register as a King’s College London applicant, not Qualification Check's standard website. Not using the URL provided means that King’s College London will not automatically receive the results and will slow down your application process.
   
   
2. While King’s College London understands that applications are urgent and we make every effort to accommodate clients’ needs and expedite processes, we have no control over the response time and requirements of institutions.
   
   
3. This is the verification stage. Any further actions that you need to complete will be detailed to you via your King’s Apply portal.

Once logged in, please complete your Application Details.

Please note that your ‘Unique ID Number’ is your King’s Student Number which can be found on the Applicant Overview page of your King’s Apply account, and on the top of your offer letter.

Once completed, you will then need to choose the level of qualification you need to verify. Select “Education” if you are applying for a Postgraduate course, and “High School” for Undergraduate.

Submission queries

How do I submit my qualifications to be verified?

To submit a verification request, you must first create an online account at kcl.qualificationcheck.com. Once you have completed the two-step registration process, you will have access to your online account.

Search for the name of the institution at which you obtained your qualification(s) and follow the steps to enter the required information for submission of a verification request. Your details will then be sent to the institution at which you studied to be authenticated by the appropriate department.

What if I can’t find my institution?

If you are unable to find your institution in the system, please refine your search by adding filters such as the country in which it is located. The search bar uses key words to locate the institution, so perhaps try entering different parts of the university name to find it e.g. for King’s College London, you may search for “King’s” or “London”. If you are still unable to find your institution, please email the Qualification Check team through the application support email address

My verification is still pending, what do I do?

We understand that applications are urgent and make every effort to expedite processes as quickly as we can. Continue to check the online platform for updates on your verifications to track its progress. Please note some institutions may take longer than others, but rest assured that Qualification Check is working hard to complete your verification.

You may use the live chat function for further details on the status of the verification or contact the Qualification Check team through the application support email address

Have you contacted my institution?

Qualification Check’s standard procedure is to contact the primary source of the information, this is the institution at which you studied. We understand that applications are urgent and we make every effort to accommodate your needs and expedite processes. Some institutions may take longer than others, but rest assured that Qualification Check is working hard to complete your verification.

How do I know if King’s College London can see my application?

If you have registered using the link provided by King’s, the initial verification submission(s) will be automatically and permanently shared with us. Please use the unique URL kcl.qualificationcheck.com to register correctly.

In the Sharing Centre of your I’m Verified Wallet, it should also state the name of the organisation with whom the credentials are automatically shared.

If you have registered an account not using the unique URL, please contact applicantsupport@qualificationcheck.com for assistance as you will not be able to automatically share your verifications with King’s. If you cannot see King’s College London in your Sharing Centre then it is likely that you have registered with the incorrect URL.

How do I obtain verification for more than one qualification?

When you sign up, an open application is created for you. You must complete any application questions, and then create a single submission of one or more verifications. All verifications to be included in the application must be submitted at once. Once the first submission of verifications is completed after the application questions, the application will close, and no further verifications can be added.

If you have not uploaded all necessary qualifications to be checked, please contact the Qualification Check team through the application support email address in order to re-open the application so further verifications can be added.

Email and log in queries

I can’t log in; it says username or password invalid

If the password and username are both correct, please contact the Qualification Check team through the application support email address for assistance. You can also reset passwords by selecting “Forgot your password?” on the login page.

I can’t reset my password

If you cannot reset the password please contact the Qualification Check team through the application support email address for assistance.

I can’t register, it says username taken

Make sure that there is no existing account already registered in the system with the same email address. If you cannot find or remember the login details, please contact the Qualification Check team through the application support email address for assistance.

Why don’t I get email notifications?

Notification emails are sent to you when a check is resolved. This email is by default sent to the person/email address who submits the verification.

Can I change my username or email address?

All applicants register with an email address, which is used as the username. All verifications submitted and credit bought are linked to their account by username, i.e., email address. Users cannot change their username/email address and would instead have to register again with the new email address.
