If you have completed your dental studies in Germany and then wish to work in another EU country, in many cases you will need an EU certificate of conformity.
Have you completed your dental studies in Germany and would like to work in another EU country? In this case, you will need an EU certificate of conformity. This confirms that your basic dental training meets the minimum requirements of the European Union (EU).
The EU certificate of conformity makes it easier for you to have your training certificates recognized. Authorities abroad regularly require the EU certificate of conformity as part of the recognition procedure or authorization procedure for practicing dentistry.
Application
How you apply for your EU certificate of conformity depends on when and where you obtained your degree.
If you completed your dental studies in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) after January 20, 1980, you can apply for an EU certificate of conformity online or in writing to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM).
If you completed your dental studies in the Federal Republic of Germany before January 20, 1980, please contact the state authority responsible for you.
If you completed your dental studies in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), please contact the state authority responsible for you.
You can obtain an EU certificate of conformity for your further training as a specialist dentist from the relevant state medical association. As this is often not sufficient for the recognition or admission procedure in the destination country, you should also apply for the EU certificate of conformity for your basic training.
If you completed your dental studies in another EU country, in a contracting state of the European Economic Area (EEA) or in Switzerland, the authorities of the respective country are responsible.
