Hello riazudinmohammadi9990000
Thank you for reaching out to us. My apologies that it took a while we were able to answer. We just received a lot of questions at the moment.
In Germany the profession of a doctor requires an approbation, there are some steps you need to follow to fulfill the requirements:
1 Acknowledgment of your degree:
Have you checked the "anabin" database to see if your degree and the university where you studied are already acknowledged? Unfortunately, this website is only available in German. The best scenario is if your university has the "Status H+" and your degree is equivalent ("Entspricht"). If this is not the case, you can still apply for an acknowledgment process at the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländische Bildungswesen - ZAB). Please note that there are processing and translation fees to start the process. You can find more information on our Handbook Germany website.
2 After your degree acknowledgment, another local institution will check if your qualification is equivalent to a German qualification to get your approbation. Since you are located in Dresden, should be the correct and responsible institution. Unfortunately, these websites are only available in German. On this website, you can contact the responsible person according to your last name and the field of approbation you want to apply for. Unfortunately, the < href="https://fs.egov.sachsen.de/formserv/findform?shortname=sms_ld_apparzt_3…" >application forms are also only available in German. On the 2nd page of this application form, you can find all the necessary documents you will need to apply.
You can contact the IQ counseling center in Dresden, which will help you fill out those forms.
If you need assistance in finding your university and degree on the "anabin" database, please provide me with the full name of your university and the correct degree mentioned in your diploma.
Feel free to ask me in case anything remains unclear.
