Case: Obtaining duplicate educational diplomas and preparing documents for apostillization
Problem and Desired Outcome
The client needed to restore educational documents, the originals of which were lost, obtain duplicate diplomas, and prepare them for subsequent apostillisation for use abroad.
A client named Yelyzaveta contacted the law firm “Prikhodko & Partners” regarding the restoration of her educational documents. The client studied at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NULES of Ukraine); however, due to the loss of original documents, it became necessary to issue duplicates.
The main difficulty lay in the need to confirm the client’s studies in the relevant specialty and undergo the prescribed procedure for restoring documents. For this, it was necessary to obtain official confirmation of enrollment information, prepare necessary applications, and properly execute documents to obtain duplicates.
In view of this, lawyers at “Prikhodko & Partners” provided legal support for the procedure of restoring educational documents — from obtaining confirmation of studies to issuing duplicates and submitting them for apostillisation.
In particular, the following steps were taken:
- Prepared and sent an attorney request to the relevant educational institution to obtain information about the client’s studies.
- Obtained an official certificate confirming the client’s enrollment in the relevant specialty.
- Based on the received certificate, prepared the necessary applications for issuing duplicates of educational documents.
- Compiled and submitted the package of documents required for manufacturing duplicate diplomas.
- Provided legal support for the document processing procedure until the final duplicate documents were received.
Approximately one month after submitting the documents, the duplicate diplomas were issued and retrieved. Following this, lawyers at “Prikhodko & Partners” submitted the documents for further apostillisation required for their use abroad.
As a result, the client received:
- An official certificate confirming studies in the relevant specialty.
- Duplicates of lost educational documents.
- Documents prepared for subsequent apostillisation.
- Full legal support throughout the document restoration process without the need to independently navigate all procedural stages.
Restoring lost educational documents requires proper identification of the procurement procedure, official confirmation of enrollment, and preparation of the relevant document package.
The comprehensive approach of the lawyers at “Prikhodko & Partners” allowed the client to restore her diplomas and proceed to the next stage of their legalisation for use abroad.
