Authentication of Official Documents
Copies of official documents within the university context, for example for final examinations, can be certified at the AStA Service (ME U 205) during opening hours. The authentication costs 2,00 € each. This includes a copy in colour of your original document. Please note that these are not official authentications. These are only viable for internal uses at Paderborn University (e.g. if you are applying to switch study programs).
For the authentication process you will need to have the original document with you. We cannot proceed without the original document. If you need a large number of documents certified, you can also hand them in and collect your certified copies later.
