Getting your qualifications evaluated by Ecctis (UK NARIC) is a critical step for international students and professionals aiming to study, work, or immigrate to the UK. This evaluation validates your foreign academic credentials and determines how they compare to UK education standards. However, the process is not always straightforward. Many applicants encounter roadblocks that delay or even derail their evaluations.
This is where FACTS Transcripts plays a vital role. With years of experience handling international documentation, they simplify the process, remove the burden from applicants, and ensure applications are accepted without issues.
Below is a detailed look at the most common challenges in the Ecctis evaluation process—and how FACTS Transcripts effectively solves each one.
1. Difficulty Collecting Official Documents from Universities
The Challenge:
Many applicants are unable to collect official transcripts, mark sheets, and degree certificates from their universities, especially if they are currently living abroad. Universities often require in-person visits or follow strict protocols that can be hard to navigate remotely.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS acts as your authorized representative and directly coordinates with your university’s registrar or examination department.
-
They handle the entire request, including form submissions, fee payments, and follow-ups.
-
They collect your official transcripts, mark sheets, and certificates directly from the source, ensuring they are accepted by Ecctis (UK NARIC) without questions.
This removes the biggest initial barrier—getting your documents in the correct format from your university.
2. Lack of Proper Attestation and Verification
The Challenge:
Ecctis requires all documents to be officially attested and sealed by the issuing institution. Many applicants unknowingly send photocopies or unsealed documents, which are immediately rejected.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS ensures every document is attested and signed by the university’s authorized official.
-
They verify that seals, stamps, and signatures are present on each document.
-
They package documents in sealed university envelopes, exactly as required by Ecctis.
This guarantees your documents are considered valid and authentic by the evaluators.
3. Submitting Incomplete or Mismatched Documentation
The Challenge:
Applicants often miss submitting essential supporting documents, or their personal details on documents don’t match their current legal identity (for example, after a name change). Such inconsistencies lead to delays and additional document requests.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS reviews all your documents for consistency before submission.
-
They ensure your ID, academic records, and supporting documents (like name change or marriage certificates) match perfectly.
-
They compile a complete, organized, and error-free application package for Ecctis (UK NARIC).
This eliminates the risk of back-and-forth requests for missing or corrected documents.
4. Confusion About Ecctis Application Requirements
The Challenge:
Many applicants are unsure about which evaluation service to choose or which documents are mandatory. This confusion often leads to submitting incorrect applications or selecting the wrong service category.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS provides clear guidance about the Ecctis evaluation categories and helps you select the correct one based on your purpose (employment, higher education, immigration, or licensing).
-
They explain exactly what documents are required for that category.
-
Their expertise ensures you submit the correct type of application the first time.
This saves time and prevents costly mistakes or reapplications.
5. Formatting and Submission Errors
The Challenge:
Ecctis follows strict formatting requirements for document submissions. Incorrectly formatted or scanned documents are often rejected or delayed.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS prepares your documents in the exact format Ecctis requires, whether digital or sealed hard copies.
-
They label and organize your documents properly, ensuring nothing is missed.
-
They prepare covering letters and supporting forms as required by Ecctis.
This precision ensures your documents are accepted on the first attempt.
6. Secure Dispatch and Tracking Issues
The Challenge:
Sending documents internationally can be risky, with concerns about delays, loss, or tampering during transit.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS uses secure and reliable courier partners to send your documents directly to Ecctis (UK NARIC).
-
They provide real-time tracking details so you know the exact status of your shipment.
-
They confirm safe delivery and receipt with Ecctis.
This gives you peace of mind that your sensitive academic documents are handled safely.
7. Lack of Status Updates and Communication
The Challenge:
Applicants often feel lost once their documents are submitted, not knowing the status of their evaluation or how long it will take.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS monitors the status of your application and provides you with regular updates.
-
They promptly inform you of any additional requirements or clarifications requested by Ecctis.
-
They notify you as soon as the evaluation decision is issued.
This transparency keeps you informed and reduces the stress of waiting.
8. Delays Caused by Applicant Errors
The Challenge:
Minor errors like incorrect document names, missing pages, or mismatched spellings can cause significant delays.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS thoroughly checks all documents for accuracy before submission.
-
They correct issues proactively, preventing them from reaching Ecctis.
-
Their quality control ensures your application moves quickly without unnecessary hold-ups.
This attention to detail significantly shortens your processing time.
9. Handling Special Requirements (MOI, Consolidated Sheets)
The Challenge:
Some universities require special documentation like Medium of Instruction (MOI) letters or consolidated mark sheets, which many applicants don’t realize until late in the process.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS identifies these requirements upfront.
-
They collect and prepare additional documents like MOI letters, consolidated mark sheets, or syllabus copies as needed.
-
They ensure your package meets every Ecctis requirement.
This foresight avoids unexpected delays caused by missing documents.
10. Overwhelming Paperwork and Stress
The Challenge:
Managing multiple forms, requirements, timelines, and university communications can overwhelm applicants, especially while juggling jobs, studies, or relocation plans.
How FACTS Transcripts Solves It:
-
FACTS takes complete responsibility for your documentation process.
-
They handle all university communication, paperwork, attestation, dispatch, and tracking.
-
You only need to provide basic details and authorization; they manage everything else.
This lets you focus on your career or immigration plans while they handle the complexity for you.
