Recently, our team was asked a question: “Does the Consulate in Edinburgh verify Ukrainian educational documents, such as diplomas or school certificates, for submission to UK universities or employers?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

19.11.2025 07:52:39 Українське консульство в Единбурзі може здійснювати консульське засвідчення справжності підпису та печатки на українських освітніх документах, таких як дипломи чи атестати. Проте підтвердження автентичності освітніх документів (апостиль або легалізація) зазвичай проводиться Міністерством освіти і науки України або Міністерством закордонних справ України до їх передачі до консульства. Для подачі документів у британські університети чи роботодавцям, у більшості випадків необхідний апостиль. Рекомендується уточнити процедуру саме у консульстві, оскільки їхні послуги можуть обмежуватися лише нотаріальним завіренням копій та підписів.

19.11.2025 07:52:46 From a legal perspective, the Consulate General of Ukraine in Edinburgh does provide services for the verification and legalization of Ukrainian educational documents, such as diplomas and school certificates. This process typically involves consular legalization or certification to confirm the authenticity of the documents for use in the UK, including for submission to universities or employers. However, for documents to be recognized under the Hague Apostille Convention (to which both Ukraine and the UK are parties), an apostille is usually obtained from the relevant authorities in Ukraine prior to any consular involvement abroad. It is advisable to contact the consulate directly for specific requirements and procedures, as they may vary based on the document type and intended use.

19.11.2025 07:58:00 The Ukrainian Consulate in Edinburgh may assist with certifying copies or confirming the authenticity of Ukrainian educational documents, but the scope of verification is limited. Consular officers can notarise a copy of your diploma or school certificate, confirm the document’s origin based on the registers available to them, or authenticate a translation if required. However, the Consulate does not issue academic equivalency assessments and cannot replace the verification procedures required by UK universities or employers. In many cases, UK institutions request confirmation through dedicated agencies such as ENIC/NARIC, which evaluate educational credentials independently. To receive consular assistance, you should bring the original documents, valid identification, and, if needed, certified translations. Appointment booking through the Consulate’s online system is mandatory.

19.11.2025 08:01:15 The Consulate in Edinburgh can provide certain forms of verification for Ukrainian educational documents, but within the limits of consular competence. They may certify copies of diplomas, attest translations, or confirm that the documents presented match the originals. Nevertheless, the Consulate cannot authenticate academic content or issue recognition decisions required by UK academic institutions. Most British universities rely on official credential evaluation services rather than consular verification. If you need consular certification, present the original diploma or certificate, your passport or ID, and any translation you intend to have legalised. The service is provided strictly by appointment, and fees apply according to the consular tariff.
