- If no verification with the customer's university/board/school is needed:
- Documents are stamped and ready for collection three working days after submission by 4:00 PM on the third business day, or any time during working hours after that.
- If verification is needed:
- Amideast's Certification Team contacts the education institution, accrediting body, or related entities.
- Service duration depends on response time from the contacted entity.
Important Notes:
