Means of authentication of the signatures and stamps occurring on the original of the diploma
- A – Authentication of an university diploma by a so-called Apostille in compliance with the Hague Convention (The authenticity of signatures and stamps on a diploma verified by a competent authority of the state which is the seat of the higher education institution that has issued the document).
- B – Authentication of an university diploma is not required (because of existence of a bilateral agreement, concerning mutual legal assistance).
- L – Authentication of an university diploma by a so-called super-legalization (The authenticity of signatures and stamps on a diploma verified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the state which is the seat of the higher education institution that has issued the document (or its authorized foreign body), followed by the verification of the respective Czech representative office (embassy) based in the foreign country).
- P – Diploma verification is not required if the diploma is submitted together with a certificate of diploma issuance from the foreign HEI.
- This simplified method of original diploma signatures and stamps authentication applies only to foreign diplomas submitted in within the process of recognition of foreign higher education and qualifications pursuant to the Section 89-90b of Act No. 111/1998 Coll., Higher Education Act.
- The confirmation of diploma issuance by the foreign HEI must be provided according to one of the following options:
- Upon the request of the applicant, the foreign HEI confirms the issuance of the diploma directly to Masaryk University via e-mail sent to nostrifikace@rect.muni.cz. The confirmation must be sent in English only.
- The applicant submits the original or an officially certified copy of the certificate of diploma issuance from the foreign HEI with a certified translation to Masaryk University (translations are not required for documents issued in English).
- Masaryk University can verify the issuance of the diploma directly through the official website of the foreign HEI. The applicant informs Masaryk University of this fact when submitting the application.
Note: The above methods of signatures and stamps authentication are also applicable for documents of foreign secondary education, if required by Masaryk University.
