Confirm the institution’s requested records, report type and provider before ordering.
Read who decides and what to check Non-regulated workNon-regulated work in United States

A university's academic comparison, an employer's hiring requirement, an immigration document request and a regulator's permission to practise are separate decisions. Start with the purpose above, then confirm the named authority's current instructions.
