Documents required after the decision of conditional acceptance:

Apostille:

You can see the list of countries which signed the Apostille Convention HERE, and you can check the list of competent authorities/offices responsible for the Apostilles HERE.

If your diploma was issued in one of the countries on the list, it will need to have an Apostille attached to it. Correct Apostille should be issued for the original diploma and transcript and confirm the signature of the person signing the diploma and transcript (usually school principal or other school authority), not the signature of a notary, translator, or another official.

Both the diploma and the transcript should have an Apostille. If your grades from the subjects we require are on different certificates, both of those certificates need an Apostille.

The documents should be translated after the Apostille is issued. The translator’s signature does not need to be confirmed by another Apostille.

Legalization:

You can learn more about the legalization process by visiting a website of the Polish Embassy or Consulate in your country and clicking the tab Consular information>Legal issues>Legalization of documents. A full list of Polish Embassies and Consulates is HERE
