Verifications of TUM-Degrees and Confirmations
You have completed your studies at TUM and need to have your degree verified for potential employers? Here is what you need to know.
In TUMonline, several documents are already automatically certified with the advanced electronic seal (FES) in accordance with EU Regulation 910/2014. This is already the case for confirmations of enrollment, examination records, grade reports, and other documents. We are currently working on expanding the electronic seal to further documents.
You can see whether a PDF document carries an electronic seal by checking the verification status in a PDF reader such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader (usually by clicking on the signature symbol). Other than a PDF reader, most browsers do not support this feature. You can find further information on the advanced electronic seal in our handout (PDF download, 750kb).
Verification of a TUM-Degree
Once you have successfully completed your studies at TUM, you can have your degree verified. This means that TUM confirms the authenticity of your degree certificate.
To do this, we need a personally signed statement of authorization. Please fill in the authorization and send it to the address stated in the document.
Please send verification requests ( including the filled out form for the authorization to provide information to third parties) exclusively to studium. @tum.de
To speed up processing, please indicate “Verifikationsanfrage / Verification Request” as the e-mail subject. We will then immediately forward your request to the responsible department. You will receive a ticket number; please always reply under this ticket number for any queries.
Confirmation of Study Data
All relevant study data including the standard duration of study can be found on your certificate of enrollment. You can download this in your TUMonline account in the application “Documents”.
On the certificate of enrollment you will find a verification code which can be used to check its authenticity.
Please note: Information beyond the data provided on the certificate of enrollment, such as attendance or duration of studies, cannot be confirmed. Forms from other authorities cannot be filled out or signed (an exception is made for forms from German authorities that are filled out as part of administrative assistance, e.g. for applying for orphan's or half-orphan's pensions).
