If you need to use a Coventry University London degree certificate overseas, it is best to build the document pack in the right order from the start. Coventry University uses HEDD as its official degree verification route for third-party checks, and Coventry also provides access to the Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) for eligible students and graduates through its online portal. The university states that HEAR should be shared through a secure electronic link rather than printed, because many employers may not accept a printout. HEDD is widely used by employers, embassies, councils and agencies to verify awards, study dates and graduation details.
At Ginkgo Advisory, we help clients put the process together properly. Depending on the document and the destination country, this may include (1) HEDD verification, (2) HEAR sharing, (3) direct verification with the university where needed, (4) solicitor authentication, (5) solicitor certification, (6) UK FCDO apostille, and (7) embassy legalisation or attestation. Our approach goes beyond a basic “certified true copy presented to me” wording. Where the route allows, we build an authenticity trail based on independent verification, so the certification package is stronger and more useful for overseas authorities.
How Ginkgo Advisory can help
We help clients with:
- Verification route planning
- HEDD verification support
- HEAR-based document handling
- Direct verification with the university where appropriate
- Solicitor authentication and certification
- UK FCDO apostille
- 2 working day UK apostille option
- Embassy legalisation / attestation
Why the order matters
Many overseas authorities do not want a simple copy alone. They want a document pack that shows a clear chain: the degree is genuine, the supporting route is reliable, the solicitor certification is proper, and the document can then move on to apostille and embassy legalisation if required. That is why the wording and sequence matter.
