The Office validates the equivalence of the applicant’s university qualifications to either the <strong>General</strong> or the (specific) field-restricted <strong>Hochschulreife</strong> (university entrance qualification) obtained in Bavaria. Certification of recognition/validation of foreign certificates is generally free of charge and is sent directly to the applicant.<br/></p> <p>You can download the form (in either English or German) at:</p> <p><a href="http://www.km.bayern.de" target="_blank">www.stmuk.bayern.de</a><br/><br/></p> <p>The following documents are to be included with the application for recognition:<br/></p> <ol> <li>The original of your university qualifying document (this may also be a combination of documents), in the language of your home country; or an officially certified copy of the original (in the language of your home country). Officially certified copies, with an official seal, can be obtained, for example, from a notary or your civic authorities (town hall). You must include a certified German translation of that qualifying document (originals in European languages need not be translated). The translation must be the original and made by a publicly appointed and sworn translator from the original document. German translations made in a country outside Germany can be given a legalization notice at an embassy or consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany.<br/><br/></li> <li>A copy of your identity card or passport with personal identification details.
