If your educational institution uses a service not mentioned in the list above, please contact us at the above email address and we will investigate whether we can accept your documents through the service in question. Please note that the University of Helsinki reserves the right to make the final decision on whether a service is accepted or not.

We accept electronic educational documents that can be verified using an electronic verification service offered by the educational institution that awarded the documents, on the following conditions:

• The service is located on the educational institution’s website OR the institution provides a link on its website to a third-party service.
• The entire document can be verified using the service, i.e., the verification service must show the exact same content as the document you submitted.
  • If the service verifies only parts of the document, we will not accept the document as certified. Instead, you must submit a certified paper (hard) copy of the document.

Please note the following restrictions:

• The educational institution’s email address is not accepted as an electronic verification service.
• Regular PDF scans of educational documents sent by the educational institution are not accepted if the document cannot be verified using an electronic verification service.
• Verification services that require the recipient to pay for the verification are not accepted.

Please contact your educational institution if you are unsure whether it has its own verification service.

Please note that we cannot guarantee that we will accept verification services in languages other than English, Finnish or Swedish. If the electronic document verified by the service is not available in English, Finnish or Swedish, you must also submit an authorised translation of the original document.

Please upload these attachments as PDF files in the application system. Attachments sent by email are not accepted, unless otherwise instructed.

Please make separate files of each document, i.e., do not combine multiple documents into one file. If the document contains multiple pages, please submit the entire document as a single file and make sure that all pages of the document are included.

The University of Helsinki reserves the right to evaluate each electronic document and verification service on a case-by-case basis. If we cannot verify the required information, you must submit the document as a certified paper (hard) copy following the general instructions.
