<p>saints,
For college admissions, much like the US census, if you say you’re Hispanic, then you are considered Hispanic, there is no verification process. The only verification I have heard of is for NA tribal membership (race, not ethnicity).</p>
<p>The point is that you shouldn’t lie about anything on your application, it just isn’t worth it. While schools may not require written verification, you might, for instance, make a slip up during the interview. And this pertains to anything on your application, not just ethnicity or race.</p>
<p>Do you qualify for NHRP? That’s one way of reinforcing your Hispanic heritage for college admissions.</p>
