To be valid in Ukraine (for employment or continuing education purposes), a foreign educational document you need make recognition procedure. This means establishing the compliance of the academic and professional rights, as well as the educational and qualification levels indicated in foreign educational documents (qualifications) with the national education standards of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian procedure for the recognition of educational documents issued by educational institutions in other countries consists of the following steps:

1. Authenticity verification of any foreign educational documents submitted for recognition; that is, verification of the fact of completed education and issue of the educational document.

If your documents bear Apostille stamps or proof of their consular legalization, this is considered sufficient for confirming their authenticity. In this case, your documents do not require the verification of the fact of their issue, which makes the recognition procedure significantly faster. But you have a choice: you may either certify your documents in accordance with international law or entrust their verification to the staff of our Center.

2. Verification of the official recognition of the educational institution that issued the education-confirming document; that is, checking for the certificate of state accreditation issued to this educational institution and its license effective as of the moment of issue of this educational document to you.

3. Establishment of the equivalency of the qualifications indicated in the foreign educational document in accordance with the requirements for educational and qualification levels in the education system of Ukraine (carried out with the involvement of appropriate expert commissions for respective qualifications).

The expert examination means collating the curricula in terms of content and scope. This work is performed by a Ukrainian educational institution accredited for the same qualification as that indicated in the applicant’s diploma. If there is no such qualification in Ukraine, the one that is most similar is selected in this case.

Thus, the result of the recognition procedure may be:

Recognition, based on which a Certificate of recognition of foreign educational documents are issued.

If the additional conditions are defined for recognition the owner's educational documents qualification (i.e. additional study, competency testing or other actions, non-completion of which prevents further education or employment in the specialization area in Ukraine) the applicant is sent appropriate reply.

In the event of provisional recognition, the holder of the submitted educational documents is required to pass examinations in the subjects specified by the experts. You are free to choose an institution of higher learning for your tests. Once you have done this, the Center will help you arrange for the examination at the chosen educational institution. The time of the document recognition procedure in this case is prolonged accordingly pending the Center’s receipt of the positive test results.

Refusal to recognize the qualification level indicated in the document, with the qualification level possible for recognition specified.

As a result of the recognition procedure, the holder of foreign educational documents receives a certificate confirming the right to continue his/her education or work in his/her specialization area in Ukraine.

The Apostille is a legal regime of recognition of the legal validity of documents to be used abroad. The Apostille came as an alternative and universal certification procedure for documents, issued in one country, but beyond its borders. In contrast to the consular legalization, the Apostille certification requires less time and an apostilized document may be used in more than one country.

If you are going to another country for study, work, or permanent residence, you may need to take with you the documents certifying the education that you have obtained in Ukraine. To make your documents valid abroad, they are required to undergo the procedure of consular legalization or apostilization, unless our countries are in an agreement abolishing or simplifying the document legalization procedure. For details see the section List of Countries recognizing the Apostille certification.

Which bodies in Ukraine are authorized to issue Apostilles?

In Ukraine, the bodies authorized to issue Apostilles are the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine is authorized to affix an Apostille to public documents related to the areas of science and education.

The Apostille certifies the authenticity of the signature of the person who singed the document, as well as the authenticity of the seal and stamp complimenting the signature.

The Apostille is a stamp measuring at least 10х10 cm, affixed either to the document or a separate special page bound to the document.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine affixes Apostilles to documents confirming education and academic degrees awarded by educational establishments, government bodies, enterprises, institutions, and organizations. Such documents are high school certificates, diplomas and appendices to them, academic statements and curricula, professional advancement program completion certificates and statements, academic degree diplomas and certificates and the like. For details see the List approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

Please note that such documents are required to meet the state specimens valid in Ukraine at the time of document issue.

Apostilles can be issued for original education confirming documents only. Copies will not be accepted for apostilization.

In addition, a document will not be accepted for processing if:

• this document is intended for use in a country that has not joined the Hague Convention or is a Convention member which voted against Ukraine’s accession to the Convention in accordance with Article 12 of the Convention;
• the text of the document is illegible due to document mutilation;
• the document is written or signed in pencil or is a fax copy;
• the document contains unspecified corrections or text additions;
• the apostilization of the given document is not within the powers of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine;
• the document, specifically the archive statement, curriculum, academic statement does not have the signature of the principal or vice principal of the educational establishment and not certified with the official seal;
• the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has failed to obtain the specimens of the corresponding signatures, seals and/or stamps to be able to confirm the fact of issue of the education confirming document;
• the signature in the document differs from the specified position, surname, given name and patronymic of the head of the educational establishment or institution.

What does «apostille with request / without request» mean?

Request means obtaining additional information from the institution that issued the specific document. The need for a request is determined only by specialists during the direct acquaintance with the documents.

Am I required to submit for apostilization my high school certificate and its supplement (diploma, qualification certificate etc)?

The graduation document and the supplement to it are two different documents. You may submit for apostilization your high school certificate (diploma, qualification certificate) alone or together with its supplement. The need for you to apostilize the supplement depends on the specific country and the purpose of your visit. You are advised to find out this information at the embassy of this country or contact the educational institution where you are going to study for this purpose. Please note that you will not be able to apostilize the supplement to a document without apostilizing the document itself.

I have already had the Apostille stamp from the Ministry of Education and Science, Youth and Sports of Ukraine on my diploma (high school or qualification certificate etc). Now I need to apostillize the supplement to it. Is it possible?

Yes, the supplement to an education confirming document is a separate document, and you may submit it separately. But you are advised to bring along the education confirming document to have it when submitting the supplement for apostilization. In some cases this may shorten the time to be taken to consider and process your documents.
