Overseas Degree Credential Evaluation ​

If you earned a degree in New Zealand and need it evaluated by the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE), you can apply through its online service hall. This guide is for mainland Chinese residents who studied in New Zealand. It draws on an application recorded in September 2026 and official guidance checked on 12 October 2026. Applicants with other identities or study arrangements should consult the relevant materials page in the service hall.

Where to apply

Open the CSCSE credential evaluation page and select the online application. You must submit your own application. Follow the current portal instructions if labels or steps have changed.

If your travel record is incomplete

If the records obtained by the portal do not cover your full study period, download the complete PDF from the “Immigration 12367” app or mini program and submit it as directed by the official materials requirements. If the record is still incomplete, passport stamps or a record issued by the exit and entry authority may also be required. Follow any request for additional documents in your application.

After submission ​

Check “User Centre → My Applications” for updates and respond to any request for additional documents. The official guide lists within 15 working days for most New Zealand institutions. Responses from institutions, holidays or additional documents can extend the process, and there is no expedited service. You can access the electronic result through the service hall once the evaluation is complete.
