Recognition of Professional Qualifications in Germany: Challenges and Long Waiting Times
For skilled professionals from abroad, having their qualifications recognized is a critical step to starting their career in Germany. However, the reality is often different: the process is not only complex but can also be significantly delayed due to the long processing times at German authorities.
👉 Why does it take so long?
High demand: More and more professionals from around the world are applying for recognition, pushing authorities to their capacity limits.
Individual assessment: Each application is thoroughly reviewed to ensure the equivalence of foreign qualifications with German standards.
Incomplete documents: Missing documents or uncertified translations can further delay the process.
