How to Verify Digital Documents (Spot Fakes & Check Authenticity)
QR checks, reference numbers, and red flags for edited marksheets and certificates.
By DigitalNepal · Updated 2026-10-04
For employers and colleges: verify through issuing authorities and reference numbers, never through the document's own QR alone without cross-checks.
Steps
1Use official verification
Boards, universities and departments publish verification portals or counters. Use them.
2Cross-check references
Registration numbers, dates and seals must be internally consistent. One mismatch triggers deeper checks.
3Inspect the file
Mismatched fonts, warped seals, inconsistent shadows and fresh-paper-everywhere signal edits.
4Confirm directly for big decisions
Jobs and admissions: email the issuer from their official domain for final confirmation.
Good to know: Using or submitting forged documents is a criminal matter in Nepal - verify before hiring or admitting.
