Skip to content NARIC (National Academic Recognition Information Centre) is the designated authority responsible for evaluating international qualifications and assessing their comparability to UK academic standards. It plays a crucial role in education, employment, and visa applications, providing Statements of Comparability for individuals with overseas qualifications.
Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, UK NARIC was rebranded as UK ENIC, now operated by Ecctis. However, the function remains the same—helping individuals verify their qualifications to meet immigration, employment, and academic requirements.
One of the most common questions applicants ask is: Does a NARIC certificate expire? The short answer is no. A NARIC or ENIC Statement of Comparability does not have an official expiration date. Once issued, it remains valid indefinitely. However, certain situations may require you to obtain an updated statement:
