Translations and Proof That Papers Are Real

Which Stamp Do Your Papers Need?

India and Pakistan are both in the Apostille Convention, so your study papers need an apostille (an official stamp from your own government that shows a paper is real). Countries outside this treaty use a longer process instead.

Translations

Every study paper from outside the European Union (EU) needs a translation signed and stamped by an approved translator, into Romanian, English or French.

Apostille

An apostille is a stamp that proves a paper is real.
You get the apostille from your own government.
Countries outside this treaty use a longer process instead.

Recognition

The National Centre for Recognition and Equivalence of Diplomas (CNRED) checks diplomas from abroad.
Your university checks your papers. Then the Ministry of Education sends you the Letter of Acceptance to Studies (LoA), which you need for the visa.
