Official Expert Answer
Send it along, but in addition and never as a substitute. The reason:
• The authority's checklist is the mandatory program. Everything on it must be included in the required format, otherwise the file will be considered incomplete.
• The Diploma Supplement is still useful because it describes study content, subjects, and often hours in a standardized format. These are precisely the details the authority needs for the Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung, and if they are missing, they will be requested.
• Include it with a brief note in the cover letter so that it is clear that it is a supplement and not to be confused with a mandatory document.
• The same applies to the translation as usual: if the authority requires certified translations, then for this as well.
More reliable information about the study content almost always shortens the examination. Additional documents do not harm, missing mandatory documents do.
