Student certificate translation

A student certificate shows that a person is enrolled at an educational institution. It is requested for visa applications, student discounts, scholarship files and family benefit procedures.

The document has a short validity period; institutions generally request a copy issued within the past month. Arranging translation close to the application date prevents it from being regarded as out of date.

Which institutions request this document?

  • Consulates — for student visa applications
  • Foreign universities — for exchange program enrollment
  • Scholarship and support organizations
  • Social security institutions — for family benefit procedures

Certification requirements

Is notarisation required?

Notarization is frequently required for visa applications; a sworn translation may be sufficient for internal institutional procedures.

Is an apostille required?

It is treated as an administrative document; if needed, its apostille is obtained from the provincial or district governor's office.

There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.

Preparing your document

  • Obtain the document close to the application date
  • Confirm whether the institution accepts a barcoded e-Devlet printout
  • Make sure the student number and enrollment year are legible
