4 Steps to Appeal Your 'Unable To Verify' Report
<p>When you’ve organized all of your documents and are ready for that new job, an ‘Unable to Verify’&#8217; (UTV) report may come as a great shock. It&#8217;s important to understand though, that an ‘Unable to Verify’ result from your DataFlow report will not neccessarily cut short your dream to work abroad. You can appeal your ‘Unable to Verify’ report or provide additional documentation to verify your credentials and documents.</p> <h2>How The DataFlow Group Verifies Your Documents&nbsp;</h2> <p>The DataFlow Group provides document verification services to employers who wish to confirm and verify a potential employee’s academic, professional and legal credentials. Applicants can verify their documents and data through TrueProfile.io, a secure platform to store TrueProofs, verified documents, as portable credentials.&nbsp;</p> <p>Applicants using TrueProfile.io can own their verified documents and present them to regulatory bodies of their choice. DataFlow applies a combination of tactics to verify whether this request comes from the employer or the applicant. </p> <p><strong>Some of the verification steps include:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Online research. DataFlow works with a team of online researchers experienced in extracting critical information from online databases across the world.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>DataFlow also uses <a href="https://www.trueprofile.io/member/resources/the-trueprofile-io-verification-process-explained" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Primary Source Verification</a> (PSV)&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Another tactic the company uses is cross-checking, where the company compares data from more than 60,000 issuing authorities in more than 200 countries.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p></p> <p>Through their rigorous verification systems, <a href="https://www.trueprofile.io/member/resources/unable-verify-negative-dataflow-reports" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DataFlow assigns a report as &#8216;positive&#8217;, &#8216;negative&#8217; or &#8216;Unable to Verify&#8217;</a>.&nbsp;</p> <h2>Understanding an ‘Unable to Verify’ Report</h2> <p>When applying for a job abroad, the company you are applying to often runs background and verification checks to ensure you present authentic information. However, this process usually relies on computer systems, which are sometimes prone to failure.&nbsp;</p> <p>Primary Source Verification (PSV) is a reliable way for employers and immigration services to examine the validity of a document that you provide. For PSV, the verifying party will contact the issuing organization to verify the documents or, in the case of overseas employers, use a verified online database, such as the DataFlow Group for PSV.&nbsp;Sometimes, Primary Source Verification may result in an &#8216;Unable to Verify&#8217; report. </p> <p><strong>Some of the common causes of a UTV report include:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The issuing organization no longer exists</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The records of the issuing organizations were destroyed in a disaster</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Expired documentation (such as licensing)&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The issuing organization contradicted the details on your documents (a negative result)</li> </ul> <p></p> <p>A <a href="https://www.trueprofile.io/member/resources/what-can-i-do-if-background-check-comes-back-negative" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">negative</a> result or a discrepancy occurs when you present falsified documents, the issuing organization cannot be verified, or you falsified information on your application.&nbsp;</p> <p>An &#8216;Unable to Verify&#8217; report may come as a disappointment but it shouldn’t be. It just means that TrueProfile.io was unable to authenticate the document(s) you submitted. However, you can appeal your DataFlow report when a verification discrepancy occurs.&nbsp;</p> <h2>How to Appeal an &#8216;Unable to Verify&#8217; Report</h2> <p>An &#8216;Unable to Verify&#8217; report is not the end of the world.

A UTV report may indicate that you have not provided sufficient documentation or verification was difficult due to warfare. You can appeal the verification process as long as the documentation you provide is original and unaltered. Start by identifying the cause of the result, provide more information, and open a ticket. Alternatively, you can begin a new application for verification through your TrueProfile.io account.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <h4>Want to get a job abroad?
