Understanding the Required Documents

To ensure a successful application, it is essential to understand the specific documents that need to be submitted. Here is a comprehensive list of the required documents for your KfW Student Loan:

  1. Proof of Bank Account: You will need to provide a valid proof of your bank account. This document simply helps us make sure the bank transfers of KfW will reach you.
    ​

  2. Valid Identification Document: A valid identification document, such as an ID card or passport, is required. This document confirms your identity and helps establish your eligibility for the loan.
    ​

  3. Valid Study/Enrollment Certificate ("Studienbescheinigung/Immatrikulationsbescheinigung"): You must submit a valid enrollment certificate from your university. This certificate verifies your enrollment status and provides essential information about your course of study.
    ​

  4. Transcript of records ("Leistungsnachweis"): If applicable, you will need to provide proof of your academic performance (e.g. your ECTS credits). This may include transcripts, certificates, or any other relevant documentation that demonstrates your academic achievements.
    ​

  5. Additional Forms from KfW: Depending on your specific circumstances, you may be required to fill out and submit additional forms provided by KfW. These forms cater to non-German applicants and address any specific requirements they may have.

The Importance of Uploading All Documents

When it comes to the document upload process, it is crucial to ensure that you upload all the required documents without exception. Each document serves a specific purpose in evaluating your eligibility for the KfW Student Loan. Failure to provide any requested document may result in delays or even rejection of your application.

Additionally, it is important to note that each document must be complete. Be sure to include all pages of the document when uploading. Incomplete or partial documents cannot be accepted, as they may hinder the assessment of your application.
