• In Germany, the certificate recognition offices of the individual federal states govern the recognition of school certificates for foreigners:
  Each federal state has its own Professional Qualifications Assessment Act (BQFG) or equivalent regulations in its legislation relating to occupations.
• The offices verify the equivalence of foreign school certificates with German ones: if a school certificate is deemed equivalent, you will receive a certificate of equivalence.
