Digital-only enrollment process from summer semester 2025

Please note: For all applications for the summer semester 2025 or later semesters, a digital-only enrollment process applies. This means that no more documents need to be sent to TUM by post. All documents that previously had to be submitted as notarized copies must now be uploaded to TUMonline as authentic documents.

Usually, documents are considered authentic if they bear the signature and seal of the issuing official body, alternatively a digital seal, a verification code, or a QR code for online verification. The requirements listed below for documents from China, Georgia, or Iran continue to apply.
