01Identify the purpose of recognition
What to do
ENIC/NARIC handles school documents and professional recognition of university degrees. The receiving university handles academic recognition for further higher education. Choose the correct procedure before paying.
Where to go
Qualifications Agency or receiving university
What to prepare
- Diploma/certificate, issuing country and purpose: work or study
02Prepare the package for your education level
What to do
On ENIC/NARIC, open the primary, secondary or higher-education section and its instructions. Translate the requested documents only; copy counts, yearly transcripts and certification requirements differ.
Where to go
ENIC/NARIC and a court interpreter from the official register
What to prepare
- Completion document and required report cards/transcripts
- Certified translations, passport and name-change evidence if names differ
03Submit the official request and keep its number
What to do
Use the form/portal in the Agency's relevant section, not an informal letter instead of the prescribed application. Professional recognition of foreign higher-education documents is submitted electronically. Follow the school-document section for school qualifications.
Where to go
ENIC/NARIC; for academic recognition, the university
What to prepare
- Completed application, package scans and fee evidence under the instructions
- Contact address for requests for additional evidence
04Collect the decision and check its purpose
What to do
Respond to additional-document requests. Present originals/copies as required when collecting the decision. Check the name, qualification, recognition purpose and conditions; the decision does not guarantee admission or employment.
Where to go
The authority that processed the application
What to prepare
- Originals required by the instructions, passport and application number
- Recognition decision for the employer/education institution
Translation and filing
Translation and certification
Before translating a foreign-issued record, ask the receiving institution whether it needs a Serbian translation by a court-certified translator (sudski tumač), whether an apostille/legalization is required, and in which order. Requirements differ by country and document. An ordinary or automatic translation is not a certified translation when certification is required.
What happens next
File only through the confirmed method. Keep a copy of the submission, case/application number and proof of receipt. Ask how to check status, when to expect a reply and what to do if more information is requested.
