How to renew documents on higher education?

If the diploma and/or supplement to the diploma was issued in the period from 2001 to 2014, the information about it must be stored in electronic form.

In order to renew the diploma (receive a duplicate of the diploma and/or its supplement), it is necessary to submit a written application to the higher education institution that issued this document. This can be done either personally or through an authorized representative. In such a case, the higher education institution will independently, without approval from the Ministry of Education and Culture of Ukraine, produce and issue a duplicate.

If the institution where the higher education was obtained was reorganized, then you should contact its legal successor (we are talking about cases of merger, merger or liquidation of higher education institutions).

In the event that there is no legal successor or the university does not conduct educational activities (the license was revoked, there was no transfer from the non-controlled territory of Ukraine), then the application must be submitted to the Ministry of Education and Culture of Ukraine. The Ministry will determine the institution where it will be possible to renew the diploma, that is, produce a duplicate.

In the application for the issuance of a duplicate diploma, the following must be noted:

• surname, first name, patronymic (if available), date of birth of the person in whose name the diploma of higher education was issued;

• series (if available), number, by whom and when the document certifying the identity and confirming the citizenship of Ukraine or the document certifying the individual and confirming its special status was issued;

• TIN (if available);

• place of residence, telephone number (if available) of the person in whose name the document on higher education was issued;

• the name of the university and the year of its graduation;

• the name of the diploma, a duplicate of which is ordered;

• name of specialty, reason for ordering a duplicate document on higher education;

• other information that the person in whose name the document on higher education was issued considers essential for obtaining a duplicate.
