Does your diploma count in Germany? Let's read it together.
Upload your certificate. We match institution and degree against the official ANABIN database and tell you — in plain language — whether a €200 ZAB statement is actually worth ordering.
What does your diploma say?
ANABIN is the information system on the recognition of foreign educational qualifications. It is operated by the Central Office for Foreign Education within the KMK.Kultusministerkonferenz — the same source German consulates and employers consult. We mirror it so you don't have to learn the search syntax.
The ZAB issues binding evaluations. ANABIN tells you what the ZAB would probably say — for free, without postal mail, without the €200 fee, without the multi-week wait.
You only buy the certificate when ANABIN's signal is unclear — or when an employer specifically asks for the official paper. Most people don't need to.
The verdict, with the source attached.
Three statuses, one clear next step. Each result links back to the original ANABIN record so you can audit it yourself.
- Recognised institution, comparable degree — a translated copy is normally enough.
- Conditionally comparable — order the ZAB statement if money or speed matter.
- Not recognised — we point you at the Opportunity Card and partial-recognition routes.
- Cross-link — drop straight into the visa check with the recognition flag pre-filled.
Your B.Tech is treated as a German Bachelor degree.
You do not need a paid ZAB Zeugnisbewertung for an EU Blue Card application. A standard certified translation is sufficient.
Upload, review, decide.
The check runs in three deterministic steps. Nothing happens we haven't shown you in advance.
- Step one
Upload your diploma
PDF, PNG or JPEG of your final certificate — up to 10 MB. Original language and translated versions both work. The file is deleted after extraction; only the extracted fields are kept.

Review the extraction
Our AI reads institution, degree, field of study and graduation year. Correct any field before we run the ANABIN match — small spelling differences flip the result.

The verdict, plus next steps
A clear H+, H± or H– flag with a paragraph in plain language and a one-click jump into the visa check if you want to pair the result with a specific job offer.

Frequently asked.
Does this replace the ZAB certificate evaluation?
No — only the ZAB issues legally binding evaluations. Our tool tells you whether ordering one actually makes sense, which often saves the fee and the wait.
What do H+, H± and H– mean?
ANABIN classifies universities worldwide: H+ are recognised institutions with comparable degrees, H± are conditional, and H– are not recognised. We explain your specific result.
Is my data secure?
Yes. EU-only hosting (Frankfurt), encrypted transport, the original document deleted after extraction. Only the extracted fields are retained.
Which documents can I upload?
Your final certificate, diploma, or a certified translation as PDF, PNG, JPEG or WebP (max. 10 MB). Original plus German translation is the safest pair.
Skip the postal mail and the €200 — until you genuinely need them.
