Certificates for authorities
General Certificates
We regularly receive requests for certificates verifying academic and exam records for submission to other institutions. We are happy to issue these certificates. To request one, please submit a written request to us through the usual contact channels. Please include proof of the need for the certificate (e.g., a letter of request from the receiving institution) with your request. If you are no longer enrolled at our institution, please also include a copy of a valid ID document. Certificates that require a signature (and, in some cases, a seal) are sent exclusively as originals via mail. Therefore, please be sure to include in your request the mailing address to which the certificate should be sent. If certificates need to be sent directly by us to other universities, please be sure to provide us with the correct recipient’s information (mailing address or email address of the other university).
