How to Get CSSD Verification Report for Your China Degree Certificate

This blog will show you how to apply for a CSSD verification report for your China degree certificate. The degree verification report is officially titled Online Verification Report of Higher Education Degree Certificate. Note that China higher education awards 2 types of credentials: degree certificates and graduation certificates. We also have a guide on How to Get CSSD Verification Report for Your China Graduation Certificate.

Center for Student Services and Development (CSSD), an institution under China’s Ministry of Education (MOE), is responsible for issuing verification reports for degree certificates, graduation certificates and transcripts issued by all China universities. CSSD receives verification applications through China Higher Education Student Information (CHSI) which is a website owned by CSSD.

On Aug. 15, 2022, CSSD replaced China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center (CDGDC) as the authority in charge of issuing verification reports for China degree certificates. Applicants can no longer apply for degree verification with CDGDC. Click here to view the official announcement.
