CAV Requirements for Deped, CHED, TESDA - Certification Authentication

CAV Requirements for Deped, CHED and TESDA – Certification Authentication Verification procedures. What is CAV? Why do we need it for our diploma, TOR and other certificates? Do we need it for DFA Red Ribbon too? In this page, I have listed the requirements for Certification, Authentication and Verification (also known as CAV) for Deped, Ched and Tesda processing.

CAV is usually a requirement for Filipinos who are applying to work or study abroad. Usually TOR (Transcript of Records), diploma and certificates are requested for CAV. Thus the authorized government agencies for these are the:

Deped – if you need your documents and school records such as TOR and Diploma from your high school have CAV or Red Ribbon

CHED – if you need your documents from your college or graduate school to have certification, authentication and verification or pass thru Red Ribbon purposes

TESDA – if your training and technical course certificates need to have CAV

You need the following if you are undergraduate or if you don’t have a college degree:

Certification of Enrollment

For High school graduates:

Original and certified true copies of TOR and Diploma

Second step is go to the authorized government agency (CHED, DepEd or TESDA) and submit the listed CAV requirements above. The regional offices of those agencies will serve your CAV applications.

Keep your receipts, claim stubs, reference number and everything they issued you.

Claim your Red Ribbon documents (a.k.a. authenticated documents) at the DFA if you are working or studying abroad. Claim your documents at the CHED Regional Office if you are on local purpose.

That’s all. You’re done. Easy right? By the way, for employment abroad purposes, you also have the option to receive your DFA authentication or Red Ribbon documents via DHL or courier. You will then have to pay delivery and other charges.
