Apostille.com has over 27 years of experience in providing services to college graduates wishing to simplify the use of college degrees abroad, by supporting credentials and documentation with a Hague Convention Apostille.


An Inter-governmental Certificate of Degree Equivalence (ICDE) is a groundbreaking move to promote global education and equality. This new initiative aims to address the growing need for a unified, internationally recognized framework to evaluate academic degrees from all around the world.


The primary mission of EDU has always been to advance education and foster international cooperation. The introduction of the ICDE builds on this mission by providing an equitable, transparent, and universally accepted method for verifying the equivalence of academic credentials, regardless of a graduate’s country of origin.


The ICDE is issued under the full authority of EDU, a respected intergovernmental organization with independent juridical personality under international law. This provides an additional layer of confidence in the integrity of the certification. The verification process, requiring degrees to be accompanied by official transcripts and supported by an Apostille, further ensures the credibility and authenticity of each degree evaluated.


For graduates worldwide, the ICDE is a powerful tool that promotes fairness, enhances educational mobility, and fosters greater global collaboration. With EDU’s rigorous standards and transparent verification process, the ICDE sets a new benchmark for credential evaluation, ensuring that all degrees are recognized and valued equally, no matter where they are earned. The ICDE is also broadly consistent with the assessment values of the Lisbon Recognition Convention and the Bologna Process.
