How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value for recognition of professional qualifications. 100 means clear authorities, transparent procedures and strong international compatibility; 0 means very weak or barely usable recognition routes.

The calculation combines eight blocks: recognition of foreign documents and degrees counts for 28%, rule of law 16%, digital government 14%, government efficiency 12%, tertiary education participation 8%, literacy 6%, local registration 8%, and a system value for international recognition frameworks 8%.

Countries with European or similarly strong recognition systems receive a limited bonus. Countries with weak documentation conditions, conflict effects or unreliable procedures are capped so formal responsibility is not overvalued as practical recognition.

Values are normalised to the current Nomadino country comparison. The rating equals the rounded raw value; higher values improve the ranking.

The indicator measures general recognition usability. Regulated professions such as medicine, law, architecture or teaching can have much stricter special rules.
