Czech RepublicApostille & Document Services from India
Czech Republic has quietly become a popular study destination for Indian families because tuition is affordable and the degrees are EU-recognised. We prepare the apostilled degree, marksheets, birth certificate, and PCC, then coordinate certified Czech translation so the university admission and the long-stay D visa go through cleanly the first time around.
Czech-medium degrees at Charles, Masaryk, Palacký and other public universities are tuition-free for international students who pass the Czech-language entrance, which is why Indian medical and dental aspirants keep coming back to the Czech opportunity.

The Czech Republic runs busiest on three desks for us. Indian medical and dental students applying to Charles, Masaryk, Palacký and Ostrava. IT, engineering and Blue Card workers applying via the Employee Card or EU Blue Card pathway. And the long-term Foreign Investor and Family Reunion cases that come through after the worker is settled.
Czech Republic is Hague. MEA apostille is the final India-side stamp. Educational documents go through State HRD plus MEA apostille; personal documents through SDM or Home plus MEA apostille.
The translation rule is the part that decides whether your documents goes through cleanly. Czech authorities want sworn translation by a soudní tlumočník (court-sworn translator) registered with a Czech regional court. A general English-Czech translation done in India is usually not accepted by Czech immigration, the Ministry of Interior or the Czech university admission office. We coordinate apostille first, then the soudní tlumočník translates the apostilled document including the apostille text.
Nostrifikace is the separate Czech recognition of your foreign degree. It happens in Prague, Brno or wherever your receiving university or chamber sits, not in India. We prepare apostilled and sworn-translated documents in the format that case expects. Recognition is decided by the Czech side.

Important Information & Requirements
Czech Republic accepts MEA apostille as the final India-side stamp. No Czech embassy attestation step.
Czech immigration and most universities expect translation by a soudní tlumočník (court-sworn translator) registered with a Czech regional court, not a general Czech translator in India.
Apostille first, sworn translation after. The court-sworn translator has to render the apostille text and stamps along with the document.
The long-term D visa biometric at Czech Embassy New Delhi requires the applicant in person. We cannot stand in for you for that step.
Nostrifikace is decided in Czech Republic. We prepare the input documents in the apostilled and sworn-translated format that the receiving university or chamber expects.
Indian medical and dental students should plan the file at least 4 months before the Czech academic year because nostrifikace takes its own time after admission.

Czech Sworn Translation
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Czech Republic accept apostille from India?
Yes. Czech Republic has been a Hague Apostille member since 16 March 1999. MEA apostille from India is the final India-side stamp. No Czech embassy attestation step. Sworn Czech translation by a soudní tlumočník is usually required after apostille for university, immigration and chamber use.
Who is a soudní tlumočník and why does it matter?
A soudní tlumočník is a court-sworn translator registered with a Czech regional court. Czech immigration, the Ministry of Interior, Czech universities and the regulated-profession chambers usually only accept Czech translations done by someone on that register. A general English-to-Czech translation done in India will often be rejected. We route the apostilled document to a soudní tlumočník as part of the documents.
What is nostrifikace and when do I need it?
Nostrifikace is Czech recognition of your foreign degree. You need it for admission to most Czech universities and for regulated professions like medicine, dentistry, nursing, law and engineering. It is decided in Czech Republic, not in India. We prepare your apostilled and sworn-translated transcripts and degree in the input format the nostrifikace file expects.
Can SiZA help with the Czech medical school admission process?
We handle the documentation workflow: State HRD on your 10+2 marksheets and any prior degree, MEA apostille, sworn Czech translation by a soudní tlumočník, and packaging for the nostrifikace and admission file. We do not act as admission consultants and do not promise admission or a particular university outcome. The Czech university and the entrance exam decide that.
