Nostrification / Recognition statement of secondary school leaving certificate

According to new legislation in Slovakia, applicants from the EU countries, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, United Kingdom, Ukraine, Russia and China do not need nostrification if their finished secondary level education is listed in an online registry (link below).

However, in order to study in Slovakia, it is necessarry to provide a Recognition statement along with a notarized proof of completion of secondary education (diploma) translated to Slovak language.

  • You can make a notarized copy of your diploma in your country; it does not need to be notarized by a Slovak notary. After making this copy, contact a certified translator from the registry (link below).

Choose the correct target language (language in which the diploma is written). The registry is available only in Slovak language, you will need to use google translate function of your internet browser to translate the webpage into your language.

Please be aware that the Recognition statement (acquired through the link below) is NOT VALID without providing your notarized and translated high school diploma.

Following this link, you can download a Recognition statement:

(If you are unsure how to proceed in obtaining the recognition statement, please follow the INSTRUCTIONS.)

 

Nostrification is a legal process of recognition of a foreign diploma. A foreign applicant who obtained their education in countries other than ones mentioned above can only study at Slovak university if their diploma/certificate is recognized as equal to a complete secondary school education in Slovakia. It is necessary to provide it latest at the enrolment day.

Requests for nostrification are being handled by Regional School Administration Office.
