How to put an apostille on a school certificate?

Upon graduation, each student receives a certificate of secondary education. This document allows a person to continue their studies or get a job in Ukraine. Before entering foreign universities or finding employment in another country, you should prepare your certificate – legalize it.

How to legalize a school certificate?
In order to use your school certificate abroad, you need to legalize it using one of the following methods: apostille or consular legalization. The first method is suitable if you are preparing a document for one of the countries participating in the Hague Convention: EU, CIS, USA, etc.. Apostille - a simpler form of legalization - is a square seal of international standard. The second method – consular legalization - is not only more difficult, but also takes more time. It is needed for countries such as Canada, China, the UAE.

Where is the apostille affixed to the school certificate?
The apostille seal on educational documents (school certificate, diploma, certificate) is put in the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MES).

Is it possible to put an apostille on an old-style school certificate?
An apostille can be obtained both for the old-style original certificate and for the new-style original certificate.
A certificate issued in the USSR (looks like a book), unlike a plastic certificate, is stamped directly on the document. Plastic educational documents are apostilled differently – holes are made in the certificate, and then an apostille attached with a ribbon is sewn on a separate sheet.
Important! Old-style certificates (issued before 1990) are apostilled for a longer time, since it is necessary to send a request to a higher educational institution to confirm the fact of issuing a document.
