Yes, you do. Copies of educational documents must be officially certified (attested) either by the institution that granted you the documents (i.e. your home university) or by a notary public. Translations must be official translations, done either by the awarding institution or an official translator. For more information, please see Educational Documents. University Admissions Finland verifies the authenticity of the documents. Please note that applicants whose degrees have been awarded in certain countries also need to pay special attention to the documentation before submitting it. In addition to the standard document requirements, please check if there are any Country-Specific Requirements for your degree awarding country and then follow the instructions. The country-specific requirements must be followed first and foremost, before any regular requirements for attesting documents.
