Lithuanian Translation of Diplomas, Transcripts and Qualifications for the SKVC and Admission

The SKVC: academic recognition of Georgian qualifications

A Georgian qualification used in Lithuania for employment, for a regulated profession or for continuing study is recognized by the Studijų kokybės vertinimo centras (SKVC), Lithuania's ENIC/NARIC, which issues a sprendimas on academic recognition stating the level and field of the qualification and its Lithuanian equivalent; Lithuanian universities may recognize foreign qualifications for admission themselves under SKVC's delegation, and regulated professions - doctors, dentists, nurses and pharmacists through the Ministry of Health and the Valstybinė akreditavimo sveikatos priežiūros veiklai tarnyba, teachers through the Ministry of Education, engineers through the relevant bodies - additionally go through the competent authority. The SKVC application, online, requires the diploma and its supplement or transcript in the original with translations into Lithuanian or English, and the SKVC verifies the diploma with the issuing Georgian university. We translate the Georgian packet in the SKVC's format, in English where accepted, and our medical translators, who are physicians, translate clinical subjects using the terminology of Lithuanian medical faculties.

LSMU, Vilnius University, KTU, VILNIUS TECH and ISM: admission

Georgian applicants to the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences in Kaunas - whose English-language medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary programs draw students from across the world - and to Vilnius University, Kaunas University of Technology, VILNIUS TECH, ISM University of Management and Economics and other institutions apply through the universities' international admission portals, uploading the school leaving certificate with national exam results, or the diploma and supplement for graduate programs, translated into English or Lithuanian and certified, plus proof of English and, for LSMU, biology and chemistry results or an entrance test. Universities accept certified translations with our stamp for the application and require the apostilled originals with SKVC or university recognition at enrollment; the student residence permit through MIGRIS requires the admission letter, proof of funds and health insurance. We translate the full Georgian packet in one business day and keep each student's transliteration on file for the whole degree.

Driver qualifications and vocational documents for the transport sector

The largest education-adjacent flow in this pair is not academic. Georgian drivers recruited by Lithuanian transport companies need their driving licenses, kodas 95 professional competence certificates or the Georgian equivalent, ADR certificates for dangerous goods, tachograph cards and vocational driving school certificates translated into Lithuanian or English for MIGRIS, the employer and Regitra, which issues Lithuanian licenses and qualification cards to drivers who exchange or complete the kodas 95 course in Lithuania. We translate these in batches for transport companies and agencies with consistent terminology, and Georgian workers in other trades - welding, construction, warehousing - need their vocational certificates translated for employers and, for regulated trades, the competent authority. Lithuanian profesinio mokymo diplomai used in Georgia are translated and notarized for Georgian employers.

Lithuanian degrees for recognition and employment in Georgia

A Lithuanian degree used in Georgia - for a work permit, for a teaching, medical or engineering position, for admission to a Georgian master's or doctoral program, or for recognition at the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement - must be apostilled by a notary and translated into Georgian and notarized in Tbilisi. We translate the diplomas, the diplomo priedėlis, the akademinė pažyma and, when recognition is sought, course descriptions. Lithuanian degree titles - bakalauras, magistras, daktaras, profesinis bakalauras - are explained in a translator's note for a Georgian committee; medical graduates should expect the recognition body to ask for the residency certificate and the licence from the Valstybinė akreditavimo tarnyba. Georgians returning from LSMU and other Lithuanian universities are the largest group here.

School certificates, student letters and children's transfers

Lithuanian families in Tbilisi enroll children in international schools with pažymėjimai and pažymos apie mokymąsi translated; Georgian families moving to Lithuania, including drivers' families under family reunification, need Georgian school records translated for the school and the municipality's education department, which places the child in the right year and arranges Lithuanian language support. Students need pažymos apie studijas and student status letters in the other language for permits, banks and health insurance. Language certificates - Lithuanian proficiency certificates for citizenship and regulated professions, translated into Georgian, and Georgian or English proficiency certificates translated into Lithuanian for universities - are handled the same day.

Motivation letters, recommendations, CVs and timing

Georgian applicants to Lithuanian programs ask us to translate or edit motivation letters and CVs in English or Lithuanian, and to translate recommendation letters from Georgian teachers and professors while preserving the signature block; doctoral candidates need research proposals, thesis abstracts and publication lists translated, and researchers collaborating with Lithuanian universities use our editors for articles. Native Lithuanian and English editors with academic backgrounds handle these texts.

On timing: LSMU and other Lithuanian universities have spring and summer deadlines for the autumn intake, SKVC recognition takes about a month including verification with the Georgian university, notarial re-certification in Vilnius a few days, and the apostille on a Georgian diploma can take up to five business days. Start the apostille early, since the apostilled diploma is reusable, and ask for a digital certified translation first so you can upload it while the paper originals are in process.
