The exception is foreign documents on education in medical and pharmaceutical specialties. In accordance with the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 01.01.2001. No. 000 "On the procedure for admission to medical and pharmaceutical activities in the Russian Federation of persons who have received medical and pharmaceutical training in foreign countries" (as amended by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 01.01.2001 No. 49 admission to professional activity for holders of IDE in medical and pharmaceutical specialties is carried out by Roszdravnadzor (Appendix).

The same applies to secondary education documents.

The decision on the recognition and on the establishment of the equivalence of documents on education and academic titles is made Federal Service on supervision in the field of education and science (hereinafter - Rosobrnadzor). The organizational and technical support of Rosobrnadzor's powers to carry out these procedures is handled by the Glavexpertcenter Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution.
