You are a Non-EU-national and want your foreign qualification to be recognised in Germany so that you can more easily find a job in your field of work, for example as an engineer? Or you already have a job offer in Germany and the new employer wants to see your recognised diploma?
In that case you should know that this process is very bureaucratic, is in German language and can take between 2-9 weeks if you already have a job offer. It is important that all forms are filled in correctly and the necessary documents are attached. For this process, you will need notary verification, translation of your diploma and other documents.
All documents must be sent in original to the relevant office in Germany. It is also important to know that many offices are still understaffed due to COVID-19, which also contributes to a longer processing time. If you don’t have a job offer yet, the processing time can be drastically longer, up to 4 months.
Therefore, it is very important to go through this process as early as possible and in the right way. Therefore, find a relocation consultant on our Relobay platform and make this recognition process easier for yourself.
