What is a verified (true) copy?

A verified (true) copy is an exact copy of a document created and verified by a notary or by a similar official authority in your country.
A simple copy of a document (made by you on a regular photocopier) is not considered an official document and cannot be accepted!

Apostille or Superlegalization is a process of verification that the signatures and stamps on a document are genuine. This process is a mandatory lawful requirement in case of certain countries, and the documents are incomplete without this verification. This process is done by authorities in the country where the Diploma has been issued.

Do you need to obtain an Apostille or Superlegalization clause on your documents? 

The list of the countries and required authentication methods is to be found here.

Applicants who are going to graduate in May/June/July shall provide a Study Confirmation with a clearly indicated date of graduation issued by their school. 

Applicants without a Diploma/Graduation certificate cannot be nominated for the governmental project for visa facilitation Režim Student.

Režim Student is a governmental project designed to facilitate the visa procedure for selected students.  

On the website, the Ministry of Education publishes terms of when universities can nominate their students for the project. 

When nominating, the university must submit the following documents: 

•  Diploma/Graduation certificate and the Transcript of Records
• Certificate of Nostrification / Recognition Certificate / Confirmation of Accreditation of a study programme that the student graduated from issued by his/her school / IAU number of the university 

When students are nominated, the Ministry then has 3-5 working days to process the nominations and based on certain criteria choose, which nominations are successful.

If the nomination is successful, then the Embassy assigns an appointment – the appointment is usually assigned within 1–4 weeks. If the application for the visa is complete and all right, the Ministry of Interior then has 60 days to approve the visa. Then an appointment for visa collection is scheduled. 

It is advised to arrange an apostille/superlegalization as soon as possible, so you will have the documents ready when applying for the visa. Also, visit the website of the respective Czech embassy to learn the required documents to bring to a visa appointment.
