THE DECISION MAKER

The employer for non-regulated hiring; UHR supplies comparison information.

THE FIRST FREE CHECK

Check UHR’s Qualifications Assessment Tool for general comparison information.

AVOID THE WRONG REPORT

A comparison supports understanding; it does not award a Swedish qualification.

Short answer

Ask the employer what evidence it accepts; a UHR statement is not required just to apply for jobs.

Tool information and a personal statement

The UHR tool lets you look up a qualification and download general comparison information for an employer. A personal evaluation is a separate application. UHR describes either result as a complement to education documents and a CV, not a newly issued Swedish qualification. You can seek work without waiting for a statement.

Access to an individual evaluation is conditional

UHR’s FAQ lists ways to document the right to apply, including EU/EEA citizenship or specified Swedish residence, work, LMA-card or family/long-term-resident circumstances. For a pending application, check the stated location and documentation conditions. A Swedish personal number is not the only evidence route. People outside the EU/EEA who meet none of the listed conditions cannot assume access. Check the official conditions; DiploWay does not decide status.

DiploWay employer comparison request

Ask whether the employer needs general educational-level information, an individual document review or a different kind of evidence. Keep the tool PDF labelled as general information; do not present it as a personalised verification of your own records.
