WHen applying to grad school, do students need to prove that they actually had research experience instead of making something up?

I know that typically, students will ask the prof they worked for to write an LOR and that could be proof, but what about those who don’t?

This is not general, but a lot of the people I’ve talked to seem to be somewhat dishonest with their applications. I don’t want to go into details, but I feel this is unfair for people who are truthful?
