Digital Diploma. Ideal solution for your institution
Our solution, fully adapted to the new regulations, allows HEIs to implement the process of issuing and registering digital diplomas for degree courses.
The Ministry of Education (MEC) established the obligation of the digital Diploma of higher graduation course: document, which is 100% digital in its generation, storage and existence and the signature, is carried out with digital certification and time stamp in the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure – ICP – Brazil, according to the parameters of the Brazilian Standard of Digital Signatures – PBAD. As a result, all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Brazil no longer issued the traditional paper diploma and adopted the digital format.
The objective of the Digital Diploma project is: to promote the modernization of academic documentation; allow for the reduction of bureaucracy in the process of generating and issuing the diploma and the consequent savings in time and cost of the service; and fight fraud and irregularities in the issuance of this document.
