The School Recognition Certificate is a verifiable official document that shows the recognition of higher education institutions abroad. Recognition Turkey streamlines this process on your behalf. After registering on the site, the recognition is checked and a QR code-enabled certificate based on the official result can be downloaded.

Recognition/School Recognition: This refers to whether the institution (university) is recognised in Turkey.

Equivalence/Diploma Equivalence: This is a separate process that determines which Turkish degree the diploma corresponds to.
Turkey does not perform equivalence procedures. We only provide recognition checks and verifiable school recognition certificates.

All universities require a Recognition Certificate to begin the application process. You can check the status of your application by searching recognitionturkey.com, where you can also quickly obtain a verifiable recognition certificate with a QR code if necessary.

Generally, selecting the country and entering the university name is sufficient. After registering with Recognition Turkey, it is recommended that you search using the university's official name (or the English name, if available) in order to perform the recognition verification more accurately. Once the result is ready, you can download the verifiable certificate from the system.

A QR code document reports the recognition check based on the official result, and can be verified by third parties via the QR code. When the QR code on the document is scanned, the document's validity can be checked via the verification screen. The School Recognition Certificate sent to you is provided by the official authorities of the Republic of Turkey.

Universities may have official names, abbreviations or alternative spellings. After registering with Recognition Turkey, you can search again using the alternative spelling suggestions on the search screen. If you are unsure, it is recommended that you search using the full name found on the university's official website.

A 'not found' result does not always mean a definitive ruling. Sometimes, the university name may be registered differently, or additional verification may be required. In this case, you can update the search term in Recognition Turkey and query it again. You can verify the result by checking it again with the correct name and country information, if necessary.

Once you have completed the registration, query and payment steps on recognitionturkey.com, you can download the QR code-enabled verifiable certificate from the system. The timeframe may vary depending on the accuracy of the information entered and the query process. Your certificate will be delivered within a maximum of two business days.
