If you graduated from a university in China and are applying for professional licensing, employment, or credential verification through DataFlow, you may be asked to provide verifiable academic documents from China.
For many graduates, this is where the process becomes complicated. Obtaining the correct CHSI/CSSD degree or academic transcript verification report, dealing with older graduation records, account problems, Chinese-language systems, or communicating with a former university can take considerable time.
Chinese ECA provides professional assistance to Chinese university graduates who need academic verification documents for their DataFlow process.
Whether you are currently living in China or have already moved abroad, our team can review your situation and help you understand the appropriate verification route.
What Is DataFlow Verification?
The DataFlow Group provides Primary Source Verification (PSV) services used by various organizations and regulatory authorities to verify educational qualifications, professional licenses, employment history, and other credentials.
For professionals who obtained their degree in China, academic verification can sometimes involve Chinese higher-education verification systems and/or direct verification of credentials.
The exact documents and verification requirements can vary depending on the authority, profession, country, and individual case. Applicants should always check the current requirements for their specific DataFlow application.
Why Do Chinese Graduates Need CHSI Verification?
CHSI (China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center) provides official online verification services for Chinese higher-education records.
Depending on your qualification and verification requirements, you may need documents such as:
Online Verification Report of Higher Education Degree Certificate
and/or
Verification Report of China Higher Education Student’s Academic Transcript
These reports can provide independently verifiable information concerning your Chinese academic credentials.
For graduates applying internationally, obtaining the correct report can therefore be an important part of preparing academic documents for credential-verification purposes.
Common Problems Faced by International Graduates
Getting a Chinese degree verification report is not always straightforward, particularly for international graduates who left China several years ago.
At Chinese ECA, we frequently encounter applicants facing issues such as:
- No longer having a Chinese mobile phone number
- Difficulty registering or accessing an account
- Graduating from China many years ago
- Passport information having changed since graduation
- Differences in English and Chinese names
- Difficulty locating old student or academic information
- Problems obtaining or verifying transcripts
- Missing documents
- Living outside China
- Difficulty communicating with a former university
- Chinese-language application procedures
- Uncertainty about which verification report is required
Some cases are relatively straightforward, while others require additional documents or cooperation from the university.

How Long Does CHSI Verification for DataFlow Take?
The processing time depends heavily on which report is required and the individual applicant’s circumstances.
Some eligible degree-verification cases may be completed within approximately one week or less. However, applicants should not assume that every type of verification can be completed that quickly.
In particular, academic transcript verification may take approximately 5–6 weeks, and complicated cases can take longer.
Processing time may depend on factors including the university, graduation year, document availability, additional verification requirements and whether the university needs to provide or confirm information.
For this reason, we strongly recommend:
Don’t Wait Until the Last Moment
If you know that you will need Chinese academic verification for DataFlow, employment, professional licensing, immigration, WES, ECE or further education, start preparing your documents as early as possible.
Waiting until an application deadline can create unnecessary pressure, particularly when a university or verification authority needs additional time.
Who Can Use Our Service?
Our verification assistance is designed primarily for international graduates of Chinese universities, including Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD graduates.
You may contact us whether you graduated recently or more than a decade ago.
We can first review your case and determine what type of assistance may be possible before you proceed.
How the Process Works
The process generally begins with sending us copies of your available academic documents and explaining what verification you require.
We review your case, identify the likely verification route, explain the required documents and assist with the relevant Chinese verification process.
Once the official verification report is issued, it can be used according to the requirements of your DataFlow case or receiving organization.
Requirements vary, so issuance of a CHSI report does not itself guarantee acceptance or completion of a DataFlow application. The relevant authority makes the final determination.
