You can contact the school and they should verify whether or not someone by his name graduated from the school.. \n\nI don't believe they'd do much more than that.. As someone who works at a major university I can almost guarantee you they WILL NOT offer you his grades without his permission in advance.  Many university's require students approval to release academic information to parents even while in school (most do, some will waive if student is still listed as a dependent).  I think that would apply just as much if not more so after he has graduated and left the school.  \n\nHowever, it is possible.. employers, etc will want to verify GPA and courses at time but I'm sure there is a waiver that must be provided.. \n\nYou might want to check the source below which is the Academic Policies and Procedures for that school.. if it doesn't answer your questions you can call the school and I'm sure they'd advise you..

you can google their name, or any info they give. \ncheck out "Anywho" website, that will give addresses for people and you can check that too. One guy I chatted with told me he went to a university, so I checked out their website, and the info he was giving was legit. If you want to pay money, you can get reports on people from various websites, but I don't know if they are scams or not.

If you know the name of the school the person graduated from, call the Registrar/Records office and ask.\n\nSchools are allowed to release the following information about students:  Name, telephone number, e-mail address, major, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and enrollment status (full- or part-time).\n\nYou may not be able to get this information if the person has requested that it not be released.

The school system where you graduated from. They have a records department. You may not be able to get an actual diploma copy, but can get your transcript which would show that you graduated.

Degrees can be created on your computer.  So can transcripts.\n\nTemple University, my alma mater, requires a release form.  There may be a fee for the inquirer as well.  I don't have a problem doing this since I did graduate.\n\nYou may be able to verify graduation at some universities without the release form, if you have their social.  I just looked on Temple's website and I didn't find anything.

Contact that college and ask for their registrar's department or transcripts.\n\nTypically, all colleges offer in-person requests and write-in/mail-in requests.  Make sure to follow all details and don't forget to pay them.

Well if it is an official college transcript you cannot lie becuase it is sent from the school.  Do you mean you sent it without verifying an official?  You may get away with this but if they double check you wont.  I work at a school and know this.

I wouldn't know much more than the obvious.  First, check with the corporation and confirm that he was employed by them, the dates and his position or title.  They are allowed to give that out to perspective new employers.  The university in Switzerland may be somewhat restricted as to how they release information, but again, if he is seeking employment with you, they should be able to verify his degree.  If these circumstances are different, then I'd say that you could probably check his criminal history in the US with an independant source that does background checks for hire.  Many of those are only a few mouse clicks away and charge areasonable rate for a light to moderate background check.  Look for a firm with references that they are willing to give out and let you contact.
