Obtaining an equivalency certificate and certificate attestation service are two separate processes, but they are often required together, especially if you have educational qualifications from a foreign country that you want to use for academic or employment purposes in another country. Here’s how you can approach both services:

  1. Equivalency Certificate:
    • An equivalency certificate is typically obtained when you have foreign academic qualifications, and you want them to be recognized as equivalent to the educational standards of the country where you intend to use them.
    • The process for obtaining an equivalency certificate varies from country to country. You will usually need to contact the relevant educational or government authority responsible for evaluating foreign qualifications.
    • They will require you to submit your educational documents, such as transcripts and certificates, for evaluation. They will assess the content, curriculum, and level of your education to determine its equivalence to the local standards.
    • Once your qualifications are evaluated, you will receive an equivalency certificate or a letter indicating the recognized equivalency.
  2. Certificate Attestation Service:
    • Certificate attestation is the process of authenticating or verifying the genuineness of your documents, including educational certificates, with the goal of making them legally valid in another country.
    • The specific process for certificate attestation also varies by country. It usually involves several steps, including notarization, authentication by relevant government departments, and, in some cases, embassy or consulate attestation.
    • The purpose of certificate attestation is to ensure that your documents are accepted as valid and genuine when you present them in a foreign country for various purposes, such as education, employment, or legal matters.

Combining both services:

  • In many cases, you may need to obtain an equivalency certificate before starting the certificate attestation process, especially for educational documents. This is because the equivalency certificate establishes the equivalence of your foreign qualifications to the local educational standards.
  • Once you have obtained the equivalency certificate, you can proceed with the certificate attestation service, which will authenticate the equivalency certificate along with your other documents.
  • Ensure that you follow the specific requirements and procedures of the country where you intend to use your documents, as these processes can be complex and may involve multiple authorities and steps.
