Service for
homologation of foreign diplomas

The homologation of foreign qualifications is key for your studies to be recognised in Spain, allowing you to practice your profession or continue your academic training. We accompany you through the process to ensure that your education is valued and validated, thus facilitating your integration into the labour or academic sphere in the country.

Service information

The recognition of foreign qualifications is the process by which Spain officially recognises that an educational qualification or certificate obtained abroad is equivalent to one of its own qualifications or certificates..

This recognition allows the person who obtained the qualification outside the country to exercise a profession or continue their studies as if they had completed their studies in the Spanish education system.

The requirements for this process are as follows:

  • Apostille or legalise diplomas obtained abroad.

  • Sworn translations of diplomas.

Recognition of foreign qualifications is particularly important for those wishing to work in regulated professions (e.g. medicine, law, engineering, etc.) or to pursue postgraduate studies in the host country.

The process takes 3 months from the date of submission. However, in Catalonia, the simple presentation is accepted for enrolment in vocational training studies, institutes, schools and some universities.
