What is an Umalusi Verification Letter?
An Umalusi Verification Letter is an official document issued by Umalusi – the Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training in South Africa. It confirms the authenticity of qualifications such as the National Senior Certificate (NSC) or Senior Certificate (SC). This letter is often required to verify that your certificate is genuine and issued by a recognized South African education authority.
Why is an Umalusi Verification Letter Needed?
Many institutions, employers, and foreign authorities require this verification before accepting South African qualifications for study, work, or immigration purposes. Common reasons include:
-
Overseas study applications (universities abroad need proof of authenticity)
-
Employment verification (local or international employers)
-
Immigration processes (to prove educational qualifications in visa applications)
-
Document legalisation or apostille (for use in foreign countries)
