How long does the APS certificate approval take, and can it sometimes be faster?
14 Jul 2026 · Answered by Smitha Satish S · 1 min read
Yes, APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) certificate approval for Indian students now typically takes 3 - 4 weeks as of 2026, thanks to a fully digital process.
During peak periods before major intakes, processing can extend up to 3 months. Applying early and submitting accurate documents can help you avoid delays.
