Tajik Translation of Diplomas, Transcripts and Qualifications - Georgian Degrees Recognized in Tajikistan and Tajik Certificates in Georgia

Recognition of Georgian diplomas by the Ministry of Education and Science

A Georgian degree used in Tajikistan for employment, for state service, for further study or for professional licensing goes through recognition (эътироф / нострификатсия) at the Ministry of Education and Science of Tajikistan, applied for with the apostilled diploma and Diploma Supplement or transcript, a notarized translation into Tajik or Russian, the applicant's attestat and passport, and for some cases the curriculum; the ministry checks the Georgian university's accreditation, the program's level, duration and content and the mode of study, and issues a certificate of recognition that state employers and licensing bodies require. Tajik graduates of Georgian universities are a growing annual cohort, and we translate the Georgian packet in the ministry's format, with hours and credits shown as its assessors expect and subject names rendered in the Tajik education vocabulary, and we batch graduates' packets each summer for the Georgian education verification and apostille.

Medical, dental and pharmacy graduates: the Ministry of Health route

Medicine is the largest Tajik program in Georgia, and Tajik graduates of Georgian medical, dental and pharmacy faculties face a longer route home: recognition of the diploma by the Ministry of Education and Science, then the Ministry of Health and Social Protection's procedures for admitting foreign-trained doctors to internship, residency and practice, which examine the curriculum, clinical hours and the internship or residency completed in Georgia. The document set is correspondingly larger: the diploma and supplement, the full transcript with clinical hours, the curriculum, the internship or residency certificate, the Georgian state certification exam result where the graduate has one, and letters from the faculty confirming the mode of study. We translate these with our medical translators, who are physicians, so that clinical subjects are rendered in the terminology Tajik medical institutions use, and we keep a graduate's file consistent across the years the route can take.

Tajik attestats and diplomas in Georgia: admission, transfer and recognition

For admission, the Tajik attestat with transcript is apostilled by the Ministry of Education and Science, translated into Georgian and notarized here, and submitted to the university and, through it, to the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement for recognition of the school certificate, which is a condition of enrollment and checks the years of schooling and the document's authenticity. Transfer students from Tajik universities - the Tajik National University, the Avicenna Tajik State Medical University, the Technical University and the regional universities - bring diplomas, transcripts and academic certificates for credit recognition, and graduates who want a Georgian master's or doctoral program or a Georgian work permit as a specialist bring their Tajik diploma (бакалавр, магистр, or the older мутахассис) apostilled. We translate all of these directly from Tajik or Russian, with the Tajik grading scale and degree titles explained in a note, and we know which documents the Center and each university's international office expect.

Curricula, hours and what ministries actually check

Both ministries read beyond the diploma. The Tajik Ministry of Education and Science looks at total hours, at whether the program was four, five or six years and at whether study was in person; Georgian universities issue the Diploma Supplement in English with ECTS credits, and Tajik assessors want hours, so we add the hours where the university provides them and translate the curriculum when the graduate's advisor recommends it. The Georgian Center looks at years of schooling and the attestat's authenticity. We prepare the translations so that the checking officer finds what they look for without asking for more, and we advise graduates on which supplementary letters from their faculty tend to be requested.

Language certificates, student letters and vocational qualifications

Georgian universities' certificates of Georgian and English language proficiency, preparatory program certificates and enrollment letters are translated into Tajik or Russian for Tajik authorities, the military registration offices that track students' deferments, and families; Tajik certificates of Russian or English proficiency are translated into Georgian for admission. Tajik vocational and technical college diplomas and professional certificates are translated for Georgian employers and work permits; Georgian vocational certificates are translated for Georgians working on Tajik projects.

Motivation letters, recommendations, research documents and timing

Tajik applicants to Georgian master's and doctoral programs ask us to translate or edit motivation letters and CVs in Georgian or English, and to translate recommendation letters from Tajik professors while preserving the signature block; doctoral candidates need research proposals, thesis abstracts and publication lists translated, and Tajik and Georgian researchers collaborating on hydropower, water, medical and mountain-development topics use our editors for articles. Native Tajik, Russian and English editors with academic backgrounds handle these texts.

On timing: Georgian admission runs through the summer, the Center's recognition of attestats takes weeks and is best started before arrival, the Georgian education verification and apostille of a diploma take up to five business days, the Tajik ministry's recognition weeks to months, and the Ministry of Health's route for medical graduates longer. Start the apostille of the diploma the week of graduation, and ask for a digital certified translation first so that an employer or a further-study application can proceed while the paper originals are in process.
