When an organization — a health system, a construction firm, a law firm — needs to confirm that an international professional's degree is valid and recognizable by the receiving country's regulator, it hits three obstacles at once: it does not know which source to compare against, it has no access to the issuing universities' registries, and manual verification can exceed 3 weeks.

Booka's Verifier Agent solves all three.

What the Verifier Agent does

It is an AI agent specialized in academic credential verification. From a professional's degree and file, it determines whether that degree:

  • Was issued by an officially recognized institution in the country of origin.
  • Matches the syllabus the receiving country's regulator requires.
  • Is eligible to start a recognition or homologation process.

To decide, it queries a base of more than 1,200 issuing institutions across 30 countries, maintained by the Booka team.

How it works, step by step

  1. 1
    Document intake.

    The professional uploads degree, transcript, and syllabus as PDF or image, to Booka's portal or your organization's white-label portal.

  2. 2
    Extraction and normalization.

    The agent extracts issuing institution, year, specialty, duration, and grades, and normalizes it to Booka's standard.

  3. 3
    Eligibility check.

    It cross-references the institution against the registry of accredited institutions at origin, the receiving regulator's requirements, and the syllabus comparison map.

  4. 4
    Result.

    It returns an eligibility report with one of three statuses.

StatusMeaning
VerifiedValid degree, eligible to start recognition
Verified with notesValid degree; the syllabus has minor differences
Documentation requiredValidity not confirmed with what was provided

The Verified and Verified with notes statuses let the process continue. The third shows exactly which document is missing before filing.
