For the Credentials Verification Service for New York State service, what happens after CGFNS receives all the information from schools and licensing authorities?

After receiving documents from your schools and/or licensing bodies, CGFNS must verify their authenticity and ensure that all provided information is consistent. If there is a problem with the documentation, CGFNS will take steps with you and/or the school or licensing body to resolve the matter. CGFNS sends a report to the New York State Education Department, which then evaluates the documents.

The application for CGFNS’ Credentials Verification Service for New York State is a separate process from the application to the New York State Education Department for licensure.
