Case: Restoration and legalization of educational documents for employment abroad

Reading time: 2 min.

Client: a citizen of Ukraine who lost her educational documents and is now in Turkey.

Desired result: to obtain a duplicate diploma for employment abroad.

Responsible lawyer: Marina Osadchuk

Restoration and legalization of educational documents for employment abroad Circumstances of the case

A client, a 2018 graduate of Kyiv Medical College, contacted us. While living abroad, she lost all her original diplomas, leaving only an electronic document in the Diia app. This wasn’t enough to officially secure employment abroad—she needed a duplicate diploma with all the necessary marks and legalization.

Legislation

To achieve a successful result, we relied on:

  1. The Law of Ukraine “On Education,” which guarantees graduates’ right to receive a duplicate copy of a document in the event of its loss;
  2. Order of the Ministry of Education and Science № 811 on the procedure for producing duplicates;
  3. The 1961 Hague Convention (for affixing an apostille) or consular regulations (if the country is not a party to the Convention).

Actions of a lawyer

Our lawyer took over the entire document restoration process:

  • prepared an application to the educational institution and the Ministry of Education and Science;
  • organized the production of a duplicate diploma;
  • provided a notarized translation;
  • legalized the document in accordance with the requirements of the client’s country of residence.

Since the diploma was intended for use abroad, we took care of its official recognition, namely, we affixed an apostille to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (for countries participating in the Convention).

The client received a duplicate diploma with all the necessary stamps and legalization. This enabled her to officially confirm her education and successfully complete the paperwork for employment abroad.

This case demonstrates that turning to competent specialists who know their business frees the client from unnecessary hassle and, most importantly, achieves the desired result.
