In order to enter Ukrainian vocational, professional pre-higher, and higher education institutions based on a foreign educational document, it is necessary to undergo a validation procedure. Validation is carried out during the admission campaign.

The validation procedure involves the analysis of the documents’ correctness and compliance with the admission requirements and the educational program. The verification is carried out based on the following criteria:

• the document does not originate from states and territories with limited recognition that are not recognized by Ukraine;
• the document is not issued based on study periods completed in states not recognized by Ukraine and/or in territories with limited recognition;
• the document certifies the completion of education at the level sufficient for enrollment in the relevant educational program;
• the document complies with the official standard for the design of a document certifying the attainment of a certain education level;
• the education document’s supplement contains the necessary information;
• the document contains the necessary signatures of authorized persons, including electronic signatures, seals, etc., provided by the document’s form;
• the document does not contain any unauthorized corrections, erasures or additions, the text of the document is legible and undamaged;
• the document does not contain information about negative results of mandatory exams;
• the document certified by consular legalization or affixing an apostille (for the countries that are parties to the Convention abolishing the requirement for the foreign official documents’ legalization) (if necessary).

Validation is carried out by the Center for a separate applicant or a group of holders of foreign educational documents at the higher education institution’s request or the educational institution’s admission (selection) committee. The institution that carried out the validation procedure prepares a report on its results.

The report on the results of the validation of documents of foreigners and stateless persons is entered into the Unified Interdepartmental Information System of Ukraine for foreigners and stateless persons who wish to study at institutions of vocational, professional pre-higher, and higher education of Ukraine.

The report issued by the educational institution’s admission (selection) committee is valid only for this educational institution. The report issued by the Center is valid for all educational institutions in Ukraine.

The validation report does not exempt the holder from the need to submit documents for the procedure for a foreign educational document recognition within 1 month of study.
