Hello,
We had asked an employee to resign because some qualifications were misrepresented. Now, should we tell the background verifiers the reason why he was terminated, or should we provide the same information as we do for regular employees that leave on their own.

Hi Alka,
This is a serious issue, and the company should take action against those employees who have misrepresented their qualifications. This behavior also leads to misconduct.
Firstly, you can get their documents and certificates verified by the issuing authority to ensure that the certificates are authentic, issued by your office, and signed by a duly authorized officer. If they have obtained the certificate through misrepresentation, you can take action against them based on the verification report.
Thanks,

Alka,
I feel you have to tell the others the true reason as to why the concerned person was terminated. Else, it might lead to more complications and throw a bad light on your company's ethics if the other company finds out on their own that you had not revealed the truth when you were given a chance. Anytime you find such gross misrepresentation by any employee, you can take very strict action, and in some cases, if the company so feels, can take legal action against the concerned person.
