Internet Diplomas Not Fake Degrees

By Leonor Rivera


Higher degrees are highly sought after, especially in today's tough job market. It isn't pleasant to not be able to part of the application process just because job applicants don't possess such degrees. For those that need higher education, but don't have the time or money to invest in it, a lifetime experience degree might solve that problem. They can be purchased online and are reportedly not fake degrees.

There are, however, different types of diplomas that can be purchased online. Some are authentic, and others are not. Some make diplomas as novelty items and have been around nearly as long as education. They exploded with the advent of the Internet and electronic services.

With such things as employment, economic and banking losses, this type of business is thriving. Some reports suggest the industry as a whole is worth $500 million a year. As an internet company it is even more lucrative than ever before.

Some are finding the service of buying online diplomas useful. Many, however, advise consumers that their products are novelty items and should not be used for anything but entertainment. They make clear their service is not meant to replace originals and they do not claim to be able to do so. These are not legal documents. As novelty products the outcome may look like a novelty as well.

Those purchasing such diplomas specify the degree and the school. Everything from associates to doctorate degrees may be ordered, complete with transcripts, with a list of classes the purchaser designates. Many sites explain that it is not necessary to provide school stamps since they already have proofs of seals.

Another type of diploma is the lifetime experience. Accredited schools through verification services offer this type of diploma for sale. Testing is not required. There is also no documentation to turn in.

A consumer simply selects the type of diploma needed. These websites do instruct that those ordering such documentation should have prior work or educational experience in the field of study. The diplomas are issued by an institution or university. These schools are generally distance education, and they aren't always schools that offer classroom instruction. They also apply official seals from the school to the diploma.

These are also accredited universities, schools or colleges. Because the schools are accredited, consumers should inquire about how to go about getting an apostille stamp on documentation. With this apostille stamp the diploma is verified as legal for use in any country. This will be needed and is essential if the intention is to use it for job promotions, more education, or the like.

The sites do not guarantee documents will be issued in the same country as the consumer's residence. For this reason, inquiring about an apostille is a good idea. Fake degrees are not eligible for an apostille. Students receive the diploma, a university cover letter, copy of school's official accreditation certificate and a copy of the university's postal prospectus. When inquiring about the apostille make sure to ask if all three need a separate apostille stamp.
