What is the difference between Umalusi verification and a matric reprint?
Verification confirms that an existing certificate is authentic. A reprint replaces a certificate that has been lost or damaged.
Is Umalusi verification the same as SAQA verification?
They serve different purposes. Umalusi verification confirms a matric certificate. SAQA verification covers other South African qualifications, such as degrees and diplomas registered on the National Qualifications Framework. See SAQA qualification verification.
