Vitnemål / EMREX (candidate transcript verification)

Vouch supports verified academic transcript import for candidates via the EMREX standard. This appears on the candidate application form — not in recruiter settings.

A PDF of a transcript is easy to edit and hard to trust. EMREX solves that: the candidate pulls their results directly from the source — their national academic registry — and the data arrives at Vouch already verified. For roles where credentials matter, that's the difference between taking a document at face value and knowing it's genuine.

Where it shows up. This is a candidate-facing feature, so there's nothing for a recruiter to switch on per application. When a job has Transcript enabled in its application flow, candidates see the choice below as they apply.

When a job has Transcript enabled in its application flow, candidates see:

"How would you like to provide your transcript?"

Two options:

• Verified import (preferred) — the candidate selects their country and is redirected to their national EMREX portal (e.g. Vitnemålsportalen in Norway). They log in with their national identity provider, select which academic results to share, and the verified data is sent back to Vouch automatically. "The most secure and verified way to import your transcript."

• Manual upload — the candidate uploads a PDF of their transcript. "Tip: companies often prefer verified import when available."

What the candidate does (verified import). After choosing a country, "A popup will open where you can log in with your national identity provider and choose which academic results to share." The candidate stays in control — they pick exactly which results to send, log in with their own national ID, and Vouch never sees their credentials, only the verified result they chose to share.

Result shown to the recruiter: "Verified transcript received — [portal/country]" with a summary of courses, qualifications, and institutions.

EMREX covers Norway (Vitnemålsportalen), and other countries with national EMREX portals. The available countries are loaded live from the EMREG registry.

Good to know. Verified import depends on the candidate's country having a national EMREX portal. The country picker is populated live from the EMREG registry, so if a candidate's country isn't listed, that country isn't connected to EMREX yet — Manual upload is the fallback, and it's always available.

Good to know. "Preferred" is a nudge, not a wall. Candidates can always choose Manual upload — for example if they studied somewhere EMREX doesn't reach. A verified import simply arrives with that "verified" stamp; a manual PDF doesn't, but it still attaches to the application.

Troubleshooting — the verified import didn't come back. The exchange happens in a popup on the candidate's national portal. If a candidate says they finished but nothing shows, a blocked popup, a cancelled login, or not selecting any results to share are the usual culprits — they can retry the import, or fall back to Manual upload to keep their application moving.
