Translation of a school graduation certificate for admission to foreign universities (for study abroad):

Admission to Polish universities:

To enroll in Polish universities, one must provide:

• an apostilled school graduation certificate* and its supplement (For documents issued in Ukraine and submitted in Poland, apostille is not required. However, recently, it has become a prerequisite for admission);
• a sworn translation into Polish of a school graduation certificate and its supplement (for admission to a bachelor degree program, it is also necessary to provide a Polish sworn translation of a medical certificate; for admission to a master degree program, a Polish sworn translation of a bachelor’s diploma, its supplement (transcript with marks), and a medical certificate is needed).

Admission to Canadian universities:

To enroll in Canadian universities, the procedure is a little more troublesome:

• it is necessary to legalize documents (a double circle of legalization is needed; in this case, one need first to legalize copies of a school graduation certificate and its supplement and then to legalize their notarized translations at the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine);
• one must undergo document verification in the WES Canada.

A school graduation certificate (including a certificate with an apostille) belongs to the category of standard documents and has a fixed cost of translation. However, the translation of its supplement (including a certificate supplement with an apostille) is calculated according to the number of so called standard translation pages (1 translation page = 1800 translation symbols with spaces and punctuation marks). The cost of notarization of the translated school graduation certificate is UAH 150 per one document, notarization of the translated certificate supplement is UAH 150 per one document.

*The Ukrainian school graduation certificates and their supplements are certified with an apostille exclusively by the Ministry of Education of Ukraine and only if the original documents are submitted.
