Our History

Paradigm began over 35 years ago with a mission to modernize the way academic institutions issue credentials. Originally focused on high-quality printed diplomas and certificates, Paradigm quickly became a trusted partner to colleges and universities across the country. Over time, the company expanded its offerings to include secure digital credentials, automated transcript services, and apostille processing solutions.

By combining deep industry knowledge with a commitment to innovation, Paradigm has grown into a leader in academic credentialing—helping institutions streamline operations and deliver better experiences to students and graduates alike.
