Qualification verification
Verify qualifications through
one accountable workflow.
GovFin helps South African organisations submit qualification verification requests, protect supporting evidence and follow progress without relying on exposed email chains.
A controlled request
From stated credential to reviewed outcome
The workflow records the verification purpose, consent, submitted qualification and required evidence before authorised processing begins.
- Purpose and consent captured with the request
- Supporting documents kept in private storage
- Clarifications coordinated in the secure portal
- Status history retained for accountability
