I have obtained a temporary equivalence:
Until the decision is established on the basis of a provisional certificate of success or the list of marks issued at the end of the secondary education, it only has a limited value in time and ceases to produce effects:
- on 15 May of the civil year following the year the secondary studies were passed;
- on 15 May of the civil year following the year in which the applicant has introduced an application to obtain refugee status.
Before that date, the certificate of end of secondary studies or the proof of permanent refugee status must be produced in order for the final equivalence decision to be obtained.
Possible derogations
Upon production of an original nominative certificate issued by the Ministry of national education of the country where the secondary studies were completed, indicating that the final certificate cannot be issued for 15 May of the civil year set as the term by the equivalence decision. That derogation can be renewed once and cannot be granted to the applicant after 15 May of the third year following the year of passing of the secondary studies.
