Decision on the recognition of professional qualifications

A decision on the recognition of professional qualifications gives an individual permission to pursuit a regulated profession in the Republic of Slovenia.

If the competent authority establishes significant differences between the individual's training and national training, it imposes a supplementary measure on him/her, i.e. certification examination or an adaptation period which may last up to three years.

The individual has the right to pursue a regulated profession from the date of finality of the decision on the recognition of professional qualifications.

Within eight days of the date of finality of the decision on the recognition of professional qualifications, the competent authority enters the individual in the ZAPS or IZS register. By being entered in the register, the individual becomes a member of the Chamber with all member's rights and obligations.

If the profession in the country of establishment is not regulated, the service provider must provide services he/she wishes to provide in the Republic of Slovenia in this country uninterruptedly or totally for at least two years within the period of the last ten years, prior to commencing providing the services in the Republic of Slovenia.

An identity card and a unified stamp are issued only at the applicant's explicit request.
