Examensintyg

Examensintyg is a document issued by an educational or training institution that confirms that a person has completed a specific exam or course and met the required standards. It serves as evidence of achievement and can be used in job applications, applications for higher education, or in certain regulatory or administrative contexts. The term is often used for shorter courses or individual exams, while a full degree is typically documented with a diploma or degree certificate (examensbevis). The exact terminology and scope can vary between institutions and country contexts.

Contents and how it is structured

A typical examensintyg includes the student’s name, personal identification information, the title of the course or exam, the level or credits earned, the date of completion, and the result or grade if applicable. It also states the issuing institution, and is usually signed by an authorized official and sometimes bears a seal or stamp. In digital formats, it may be provided as a secure PDF or through a student portal.

Issuance, validity, and use

Examensintygs are issued upon completion of a course or exam and may be issued for individual modules or for a completed program. They function as supplementary documentation that supports an applicant’s competence. They are not a formal legal replacement for a full degree certificate, but they can be used to verify specific competencies. For international use, translations, authentication, or apostille may be required, and data protection rules apply to the handling of personal information.

Obtaining an examensintyg

Requests are typically handled by the institution’s student or registrar office, often via a online portal or by submitting a formal request. Some institutions may charge a fee or require identification and proof of completion.
