Recognizing my Engineering Bachelor Degree

Hi @Shab jalali thank you for reaching out. May I ask if you already checked on the database "anabin" if your bachelor degree and the university you've studied at, is already acknowledged? Unfortunately, this website is only available in German. Best would be if your university should show the Status H+ and your degree appears equivalent (Entspricht). If this is not the case, there is still the possibility to apply for for an acknowledgement process at Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländische Bildungswesen - ZAB). Please note that there are processing and translation fees to start the process. Please note, if your employment falls under an engineering profession, then you might need an additional recognition. The professional title of engineer counts in Germany under a regulated profession. You can find more information on our Handbook Germany website. If you need assistance in finding your university and degree on the anabin website, please tell me the full name of your university and the correct degree, which is mentioned in your diploma. As well as, helping finding out if you will need an acknowledgment as an engineer. Feel free to ask me, in case something remains unclear.

Hello @Shab jalali it is great that your university and your degree are listed in anabin and already acknowledged on the database.

In general, a notary is a public official who is authorized by the government to witness and certify the signing of important documents, administer oaths, and perform other legal formalities. The main role of a notary is to prevent fraud and ensure the authenticity of legal documents. They typically verify the identity of the person signing the document, confirm that they are signing it of their own free will, and ensure that the contents of the document are accurate and complete. Common documents that may require notarization include wills, deeds, power of attorney documents and contracts. Notaries may also perform other functions, such as certifying copies of important documents and administering oaths or affirmations.

However, if you only need "Beglaubigte Kopien" for the last step of your acknowledgment process, cityhalls also provide such a service. After you received the translated documents, you can book an appointment at your local city hall in Bremen.

Alternatively, there are also companies who can support with your translation and legalize the documents immediately. For example this network of translators provide such services.

Happy if you let me know if this helped you or please get back to me if you have more questions.

Hello @Shab jalali through this website you can find a local notary: https://www.notar.de/notarsuche/notarsuche Unfortunately, the website is only in German but you are able to enter the city and the preferred language of the attorney. Next to a list of possible notaries and telephone numbers, you can see a map and choose the clostest one. Please tell me your zip code, in case you need assistance in finding a notary in your area.

Dear @Shab jalali thank you. I just kept your zip code to keep your privacy. I tried to look up for the closest one but unfortunately, the search mask don't allow to enter a zip code. Now I tried with the help of maps to see which one is the closest. Please find attached the list with the notaries in Bremen. I highlighted the notary which should be closest to you on the last page. Happy if you share your experience and if it helped.
