Verification of degree certificate
Here you will find information about verifying your degree, or studies at KTH, both for students who need to share a degree certificate and employers who need to check a certificate.
How to verify a degree
For students
You can share your degree certificate with a control code. The same code can be used within six months, several times and by several recipients.
If your diploma is issued after 1 May 2024, your diploma is also e-stamped. This means that you can share the diploma directly with an employer because there is a link in the document that goes to a verification service where the document's authenticity can be checked.
- Go to "Degrees and certificates"
- Select "Share certificate"
- Share the retrieved control code
Legalise your degree certificate
If you need to legalise Swedish documents requested by or to be presented to a foreign authority, you can contact the notary public.
Notary Public/Notarius publicus (lansstyrelsen.se)
Legalization of documents (government.se)
For employers or recuritment company
- Degree certificates issued from 1 May 2024 onwards are e-stamped. Checking that the document has not been changed since downloading from Ladok is done either via Ladok's page for verification or via an established PDF reader. The document with the degree certificate has a link to a verification service where a check can take place if the document is genuine.
For alumni
In Ladok for Alumni, former students who no longer have a KTH account can log in to a limited version of Ladok and, for example, apply for, and download, degree certificates and share degrees. If you don't have a Swedish personal identity number and cannot log in please contact info@kth.se to issue your degree certificate from KTH.
