Does my ÖSYM university placement document expire for German university applications?

Official sources publish no validity period for it — but there is no official rule saying its age never matters either. Whether an older result is accepted is something to confirm with your university or uni-assist.

#What is required

uni-assist asks Lise Diploması holders for the second part of the YKS/ÖSYM result, the Yerleştirme Sonuçları: it must show that you were placed at a university in Türkiye, with the name of the university, the faculty and the points type. For access to higher education in Germany, what counts is the points type, the threshold and the placement.

#What is known about validity

• uni-assist's Türkiye page states no expiry date or exam-year limit for this document.
• anabin/KMK and ÖSYM do not publish a validity period for applications abroad either.
• ÖSYM no longer prints or mails a placement result document; you retrieve the result online. For translations, uni-assist accepts a sworn translator (yeminli tercüman) in Türkiye.

#What to do

If your result is several years old, ask the university or uni-assist in writing before applying whether they accept an older placement result. The university makes the final decision.
