For students applying for preparatory, undergraduate, or long-cycle programs in Poland:

2) Passport-sized photograph

3) Original diploma + apostille document attached to the original diploma

Points to consider in this document:

• The apostille must be made on the name and surname of the principal whose signature is present on the diploma, or if the diploma has the names and seals of the branch manager/authorized person working at the Provincial or District Directorate of National Education, it must be done based on this person's area of authority.

• The names of the authorized person or persons on the diploma document (front or back page) must match the names on the apostille document in item 2.

• The apostille process is carried out through the District Office or Governor's Office.

• When submitting the original diploma and apostille for school applications, the back side of the diploma and/or additional documents must always be included in the file.

This document must also be signed with a wet signature and stamped by the current school principal. (An example is available on the following pages.)

4) Certified English translation of the diploma document

Points to consider in this document:

- The names of the authorized individuals on the diploma document (front or back page) must match with the name and seal of the person who has international signature authority on the apostille document in item 2.

- The seal of the authorized individuals who signed and stamped the diploma document (principal/deputy principal/branch manager, etc.) must be translated by a sworn translator.

5) Original transcript + apostille document attached to the original transcript

We recommend obtaining the transcript document directly in English from the school. In this case, no translation process will be needed.

However, some schools may not issue an English transcript. In this case, the student must obtain a Turkish transcript document. The document must be signed with a wet signature, stamped, and must be signed by the school principal.

Points to consider in this document:

- The apostille must be made on the name and surname of the principal whose signature is present on the transcript, or if the document contains the names and seals of the branch manager/authorized person working at the Provincial or District Directorate of National Education, it must be done based on this person's area of authority.

- The names of the authorized person or persons on the transcript document must match the names on the apostille document in item 2.

If the student has received their transcript in Turkish from their school, the first step to be taken at this point is the apostille process. Then, the sworn English translation of the transcript document must be done.

• There has been a change of principal at the school where the student preparing the documents is studying or has graduated,
