Examensbevis

Examensbevis is a formal document issued by educational institutions or professional bodies to certify that an individual has successfully completed a specified examination or educational program and met the required standards. It serves as official proof of qualification for employment, admission to further studies, professional licensing, or other administrative purposes. The term is used in several Nordic and Germanic languages and is often issued upon completion of a degree, diploma, or certificate program, as well as after passing a major examination within a larger curriculum.

A typical examensbevis includes key identifying and qualification details. These commonly comprise the holder’s full name and date of birth, the name of the issuing institution, the title of the program or examination, the level of qualification (such as certificate, diploma, bachelor’s, or master’s), the date of completion, and the final result or status (for example pass, pass with distinction, or grade). It may also list the main subjects or modules covered, and bear official signatures and an institutional seal or stamp. An accompanying transcript or grade report may be issued separately to show detailed results.

Issuance and use vary by country and institution. An examensbevis is often required for employment, study applications, or professional licensure, and may need legalization or apostille for international use. Replacements are typically available if the original document is lost or damaged. In some systems, the examensbevis is complemented by a separate diploma or degree certificate, while in others it serves as the official credential for the completed program.
