How to restore lost documents of an educational institution?

To restore a higher education document (diploma) and/or its annex, you need to contact the higher education institution (HEI) that issued this document.

If such a university has been reorganized, then you should contact its legal successor. And if there is no such one, then the application for renewal together with a package of documents should be sent by mail to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

The following must be added to the application:

1. a copy of the passport or ID card;

2. a copy of the identification code;

3. certificate from the police (in case of theft of documents);

4. announcement in the newspaper about the loss of the diploma;

5. copies of lost documents (if available);

6. a receipt for the payment of the administrative fee for the production of a duplicate (the cost is determined by the management of the university);

7. written consent to the collection and processing of personal data.

If the diploma was issued before 2000 and there is no information about it either in the Unified Electronic Database on Education (EDEB) or in the archives of higher education institutions, then the existence of a higher education will need to be proved in court. For this, you can use any evidence, for example, copies of education documents or entries in the work book. When the court issues its decision confirming the attainment of education, a copy of it will also have to be added to the reinstatement application addressed to the Ministry of Education and Culture of Ukraine.
