Country specific requirements

All education documents sent to us have to be officially certified. The purpose of certifying/notarizing is to ensure the authenticity of the original document. 

 

A certified/notarized translation is a translation of an original document into English done by a certified translator, confirmed by a notary or issued by the educational institution who issued the original document.

 

If your institution where you obtained education does not provide your documents in English, you need an official notarized translation of the certificates into English. Please note that the application documents will not be returned.

Please do not send your documents to EBS unless we have requested that from you.

 

Please check out our frequently asked questions regarding documents required.
