PURQ is a centralised database of verified higher education
qualification data. TPN clients have direct access to this information on
RentCheck / SmartCheck enquiries at no extra cost. The PURQ central database is
linked by ID number which aggregates all the person's qualifications
into a single view.
The PURQ enquiry covers 70% of all tertiary intuitions in South Africa.
The full list of institutions included can be found here: https://purcosa.co.za/memberlist

Data Reciprocity Reminder: Submit your

Important note: If a degree was received on an old
South African identity number (before 1986) and the institution that granted
the degree did not update it to the new identity number on their system, the
degree may not show up in the PURQ enquiry as all 13 digits of an identity
number are matched.
