Hi Mahmoud, thanks for reaching out 🙂 and great that you’re already looking specifically at Lower Saxony. That makes things much clearer from the start. From what you wrote, I’m assuming you’ve completed your medical degree in Georgia and are now thinking about starting the recognition process in Germany. Based on that, here’s how it usually looks: * Yes, if you want to work in Lower Saxony, you normally submit your documents there and the recognition (Approbation or temporary license) is handled by the responsible authority in that state. * Your diploma and training from Georgia can be assessed, but they must be officially translated and checked for equivalence with German medical education. * Each federal state has slightly different procedures and timelines, so choosing Lower Saxony early helps you prepare the right documents from the beginning.
