The statistics on procedures for the recognition and evaluation of foreign educational and professional qualifications provide data on the origin, type and level of foreign educational and professional qualifications. The data sources are the authorities responsible for the recognition or evaluation of foreign qualifications in federal ministries, provincial governments, higher education institutions, boards of education and professional chambers. Depending on the country where the qualifications were acquired, an application for recognition, nostrification or validation is submitted to the competent authorities.

Since 2016/17 Statistics Austria has annually published statistics on procedures for the recognition or evaluation of foreign educational or professional qualifications based on the legal basis in Art.12 (1) of the Recognition and Assessment Act (Anerkennungs- und Bewertungsgesetz) (2016).
