Legalization
Legalization is a procedure confirming the formal validity of a foreign document and the authenticity of the signatures and seals placed on it, so that the document can be used in Poland.
If your educational document was issued in a country that is not covered by the Hague Apostille Convention in its relations with Poland, it must be legalized before it can be used for admission purposes.
The legalization procedure usually consists of the following steps:
1. Authentication in the country of issuance
First, the certificate or diploma must be authenticated by the competent authorities in the country in which, or within the education system in which, the document was issued.
Depending on the country and the type of document, this may involve authentication by the relevant education authorities and/or other competent national authorities such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
2. Legalization by a Polish diplomatic mission
After the document has been authenticated by the competent authorities in the country of issuance, it must be legalized by the Consul of the Republic of Poland competent for the country in which, or the education system in which, the document was issued.
Alternative procedure
In certain cases, the document may be legalized by the diplomatic mission or consular office of the country in which, or the education system in which, the certificate or diploma was issued, provided that the mission is accredited in Poland or in another EU Member State, EFTA Member State or OECD Member State.
Please note: Depending on the country and the type of educational document, the exact legalization procedure may differ. Additional authentication by the relevant national authorities may be required before the document can be submitted to the Polish diplomatic mission.
Applicants are advised to verify the applicable procedure with the competent authorities in the country of issuance or the relevant Polish diplomatic mission before submitting their documents.
Important: Legalization confirms the authenticity of the document and the signatures and seals placed on it. It does not constitute recognition of the educational qualification or confirm that the document gives the holder the right to apply for higher education in Poland. Recognition of the qualification is a separate procedure!
If your educational document was issued in one of the countries listed below, you must have it legalized by the Polish diplomatic mission competent for the country in which, or the education system in which, the document was issued:
Afghanistan, Angola, Benin, Bhutan, Cambodia, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Congo, Cuba, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Haiti, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Palestine, Papua New Guinea, Qatar, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand (till 28.02.2027), Togo, Turkmenistan, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam (till 10.09.2026), Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
Apostille
Apostille is a form of authentication used for public documents issued in one country that are intended to be used in another country, provided that both countries are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention of 5 October 1961 and the Convention is in force between them.
Instead of traditional legalization, an Apostille certifies the origin of the public document and allows it to be used in the other country without further legalization by a diplomatic or consular mission.
Apostille is issued by the competent authority in the country where the document was issued. The list of competent authorities in the countries that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention is available here.
The Apostille must comply with the model established by the Convention. It may be affixed directly to the document or issued as a separate certificate attached to the document.
Please note: Apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature and the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted. It does not confirm the content of the document or constitute recognition of the educational qualification!
