Our Mission
We believe credentials matter in the lifelong journey of a learner, from applying to college to advancing a career – and everything in between.
For schools and universities, credentials play a leading role in supporting enrollment pathways, from admissions to transfer.
For employers, credentials help assess and develop the human capital of their workforce and support compliance processes.
Parchment credentials go beyond transcripts and diplomas to share a learner’s holistic story within a digital, dynamic, and comprehensive platform.
“One of the greatest things about implementing the Parchment Award solution, is now I get to see students celebrating the accomplishment of completing their studies by linking their digital credential on LinkedIn.”

Provost, Ivy Tech Community College, Indiana
Our History
Parchment (then, Docufide) pioneers electronic transcript delivery from high schools to college admissions offices.
We begin our first statewide eTranscript exchange with the Indiana Commission for Higher Education.
We launch Parchment Receive to help admissions offices more efficiently collect and process eTranscripts and other admissions documents.
We partner with Naviance to open our exchange network for delivery of electronic admissions documents to colleges. We expand our eTranscript services to colleges and expand our receiver network to graduate schools, licensing boards, & professional organizations.
We launch the Parchment Learner Profile, which provides learners with College Tools to research and compare colleges.
We introduce Parchment Award, a single platform to issue transcripts, diplomas, certificates & badges.
We launch Credential Builder, the ability to create and issue Comprehensive Learner Records. We expand internationally with Digitary, serving Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK & Ireland.
We expand into Pathways solutions, offering course and credit solutions for dual enrollment, course sharing and transfer articulation.
Instructure, the leading learning ecosystem and maker of Canvas, acquires Parchment, taking us one step closer to delivering on the promise of a lifelong learner record and removing barriers to learner mobility pathways within and across K-12, higher education, and the workforce.
