Electronic degree certificate

General information about the electronic degree certificate

The electronic degree certificate is the only official degree certificate.

The degree certificate is signed using an electronic certificate. You can check its authenticity: https://dvv.fineid.fi/fi/validation. NOTE! If the electronic degree certificate has been edited after it has been downloaded, the electronic certificate is broken and the document is no longer authentic.

The electronic degree certificate is signed and sent to the student in the Atomi service. The student downloads the official degree certificate from the Atomi service itself or from the link sent to the email.

A Finnish transcript, an English transcript, a degree certificate attachment, and a Diploma Supplement are automatically created for the degree certificate downloaded from Atomi.

This is how you download an official diploma
