Recognition rules differ by Bundesland and change often. SARA's Germany-based case managers work directly with the responsible authority for each candidate so nothing gets stuck in a queue unexplained.
Your qualification, transcripts, experience letters and identity documents are compiled to the exact checklist required by your target Bundesland.
Every document is translated by a certified translator and apostilled where the receiving authority requires it.
The complete file is submitted to the responsible recognition authority, with a reference number logged on your dashboard.
Your case manager monitors the review and responds quickly if the authority requests clarifications.
If a partial-equivalence notice is issued, we identify whether a knowledge exam (Kenntnisprüfung) or adaptation period is needed and prepare you for it.
On approval, your qualification is recognised as equivalent to the German nursing qualification, clearing the way for full registration and employment.
A single point of contact who knows your file's history — no repeating your situation to a new person each time.
Requirements differ across Germany's 16 states; your case manager works to the rules of your specific authority.
Track dossier status, submission dates and decisions without waiting for a phone update.
Recognition preparation typically begins alongside your B2 German training so both tracks finish close together.
