The Brazil verification problem

US companies hiring Brazilian developers face a broken verification process.

🕑

Weeks of waiting

Traditional background check providers take 2–4 weeks for international education checks — and often return no result at all.

💰

$100–$200 per check

WES, ECE, and major background check companies charge $100+ for credential evaluations designed for immigration, not hiring.

🌐

"Unable to verify"

No one on the ground in Brazil. No Portuguese speakers. No understanding of the education system. The report comes back empty.

🇧🇷

Brazil is not just another country

Brazil has its own accreditation system (e-MEC) and its own digital diploma standard. Generic international checks aren't tailored to handle the bureaucracy of navigating this. We do. It's all we do.

How it works

Three products. Pick the one that fits your need.
