Regulations apostille – full diplomatic legalisation

Unless there is an agreement concerning exemption between the country of origin and Austria, documents from other countries must be legalised and certified if they are to be recognised in Austria. Legalisation can apply to either the original document or a certified copy. The purpose of legalisation is to confirm the authenticity of the signatures and seal. Documents from a higher education institution in another country have the full evidential value as domestic public documents if they have the required certification. Documents from countries with which Austria has concluded a bilateral agreement concerning exemption from legalisation are exempt.

Depending on the terms of the agreement, documents or certified copies of them from another country therefore require

  • no legalisation (as long as there is a bilateral agreement in place);
  • the apostille of the issuing country (Hague Convention); find authorities here: Information Apostille
  • full diplomatic legalisation (no agreement).

Legalization of documents


Your application will not be considered unless you upload the full diplomatic accreditation* or apostille* for your High School Diploma and, in case of an application for a Master´s programme, your Bachelor Diploma!
