Foreign diplomas

All higher education diplomas obtained outside of Poland need to be certified with an apostille or legalised in their country of issue.

Apostille is a stamp or a printed form that allows diplomas issued in one country to be legally recognised in another ountry.  Apostille is issued in the same country that has issued the document. The list of institutions issuing apostille: https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/authorities1/?cid=41 .

Legalisation confirms that a diploma is original and valid in the country of issuance. The diploma must be legalised if it is not possible to obtain an apostille as the country where the document was issued has not signed the Hague Convention.  The diploma can be legalised by the Polish consul in the country of the document’s issuance.
