If you have lost your diplomas/certificates on your way to Germany or cannot get them from your home country, please follow all application steps as described. Then please mention in your application form that you have lost your diplomas en route to Germany. Uni-assist will then send you a self-disclosure form where you have to detail your educational background and the exams you have taken. Uni-assist will then examine this form and send it to us to decide if you have a higher education entrance qualification (HZB) or not.
