Get your diploma
recognized.
Denklik is the official recognition of your school diploma in Türkiye. Most universities ask for it at enrolment — here's how to get it.
Get an apostille on your school diploma in your home country (at the issuing authority / ministry).
Apply for denklik at a Turkish consulate before you travel, or at a provincial education directorate once in Türkiye.
Apostilled diploma, transcript, passport, photos — and translations if requested.
You receive the Denklik Belgesi (equivalence certificate), which universities ask for at enrolment.
Denklik is the official recognition of your high-school diploma in Türkiye, issued by the Ministry of Education (MEB). It confirms your diploma is equivalent to a Turkish one — you generally need it to enrol.
Either at a Turkish consulate in your country before you travel, or in Türkiye at a provincial directorate of national education. Doing it at the consulate first is often smoother.
The denklik itself is generally free; you mainly pay for the apostille and any translations. Processing typically takes a couple of weeks, so start early.
Procedures and fees are set by Türkiye's Ministry of Education (MEB) — confirm current details at edenklik.meb.gov.tr or your nearest Turkish consulate.
