Wrexham Glyndŵr University Degree Verification and Apostille

Wrexham Glyndŵr University awarded qualifications under that name between 2008 and 2023. The institution became Wrexham University in September 2023, which now verifies its former qualifications.

Ginkgo Advisory can arrange HEDD verification, enhanced solicitor certification, FCDO apostille and embassy legalisation. A 2 working day express FCDO apostille option is available after verification and certification are complete.

Quick answer

Wrexham Glyndŵr University qualifications can be verified through HEDD.

The usual process is:

HEDD verification → enhanced solicitor certification → FCDO apostille → embassy legalisation where required

Wrexham University is an exclusive HEDD partner. The current degree enquiry fee is £14.

HEDD verification requirements

HEDD can check:

• current or former student status;
• the qualification awarded;
• grade or classification; and
• attendance dates.

The candidate must provide a consent form that is:

• signed by hand;
• dated within the previous three months; and
• uploaded as a PDF, JPG, PNG or TIF.

This service is intended for third-party enquirers.

Wrexham Glyndŵr University and Wrexham University

The University changed its public name from Wrexham Glyndŵr University to Wrexham University in September 2023.

Qualifications issued under the former name remain valid. Academic documents may therefore show:

• Wrexham Glyndŵr University;
• Glyndŵr University;
• Prifysgol Glyndŵr Wrecsam; or
• Wrexham University.

Transcripts and official letters

Former students can order:

• academic transcripts;
• confirmation-of-studies letters;
• replacement certificates; and
• verified academic documents.

A transcript currently costs £20. An additional electronic letter also costs £20, while the verified-document service costs £30.

Replacement certificates

Wrexham University can issue a replacement certificate where the original has been lost, stolen or damaged.

The current replacement fee is £50. The new certificate is marked as a duplicate or second issue and uses the graduate’s name recorded at the time of the award.

Wrexham Glyndŵr University awards from 2008 to 2023 should normally follow the University’s replacement-certificate route.

Different arrangements may apply where the certificate names:

• the University of Wales;
• Edexcel or Pearson;
• another validating university; or
• a professional awarding body.

University of Wales awards must normally be replaced by the University of Wales. Pre-2005 HNC or HND certificates may require Pearson.

Qualifications awarded before 1996

Wrexham University cannot verify qualifications awarded before 1996 through HEDD.

This restriction should not normally affect Wrexham Glyndŵr University awards, which date from 2008 to 2023. It may matter where the applicant presents a qualification from an earlier predecessor institution.

Solicitor verification and certification

A basic solicitor-certified copy confirms that the copy matches the document presented to the solicitor.

It does not independently prove that the graduate obtained the qualification.

Our enhanced service reviews the document against reliable evidence, such as:

• a HEDD verification;
• an official transcript;
• a confirmation letter;
• a verified university document; or
• a replacement certificate.

Where the evidence supports it, our solicitor can provide certification with authenticity confirmation.

FCDO apostille

After verification and solicitor certification, the document can proceed to the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

An apostille authenticates the relevant UK signature, stamp or seal. It does not independently verify the academic qualification.

The recommended process is:

academic verification → enhanced solicitor certification → FCDO apostille

Our 2 working day express FCDO apostille option covers the apostille stage only.

It excludes:

• HEDD processing;
• transcript or letter production;
• replacement certificates;
• courier delivery; and
• embassy legalisation.

Embassy legalisation

Documents intended for a destination outside the Hague Apostille Convention may require further embassy or consular legalisation.

A typical process is:

solicitor certification → FCDO legalisation → embassy legalisation

The receiving authority may also request an official transcript, university letter, certified translation or supporting identity document.

What to send us

Please provide:

• a clear certificate scan;
• the transcript, if available;
• the candidate’s name during study;
• course and qualification;
• attendance dates;
• award year and classification;
• student number, if known;
• destination country; and
• the receiving authority’s requirements.

We will confirm the correct verification, certification and legalisation route.
