The following documents are required together with the completed application:

• Copy of identity card, passport or passport;
• Residence permit, expellee card, registration certificate (not for EU citizens);
• Proof of main residence, main place of business or main occupation in Thuringia;
• Copy/transcript of the certificate in the original language concerning the award of a degree or professional title or professional qualification;
• Copy/transcript of the German translation of the documents concerning the award of a degree or professional title, by a publicly appointed or sworn interpreter or translator;

• Copy/transcript of the German translation of the complete examination certificate including overview of subjects by a publicly appointed or sworn expert;
• Copy of the marriage certificate in case of change of name;
• Curriculum vitae;
• Assessment letter from the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB)

As a rule, copies of all documents and certificates must be submitted. If it appears absolutely necessary and there are reasonable doubts as to the authenticity or accuracy of the documents and certificates submitted, the applicant may be required to submit documents and certificates in the form of certified copies and other suitable documents and certificates.

If the official certification is insufficient, the application cannot be processed due to its formal incompleteness. It is requested that official certifications are not copied again; the stamp and signature must be present in the original.

When translating diploma certificates, the name of the university as well as the course of study or degree must be stated in Latin and in the script of the official language of the original document.

The documents submitted by the applicant with the application remain with the Thuringia Chamber of Engineers and are archived there. It is therefore requested that no original documents be submitted.
