The homologation process of diplomas in Spain is called “homologación de títulos”. It is designed to ensure that foreign diplomas are recognized as equivalent to Spanish qualifications.
To obtain homologation of the diploma, you must contact the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports of Spain or the relevant regional authority. In some cases, you also need to contact the university, which will carry out the procedure for evaluating and comparing the diploma.
To start the homologation process, you will need to provide the following documents:
Certificate of graduation, including transcript of grades.
Confirmation of the official status of the educational institution where the diploma was obtained.
Translation of documents into Spanish, notarized or apostille (for documents issued in countries that are members of the Hague Convention on Apostille).
A copy of your passport or other identity document.
After providing all the necessary documents, the relevant institution will conduct a procedure for evaluating, comparing and determining the compliance of the diploma with the Spanish education system. The result of the process may be the provision of an official document on homologation, which confirms the equivalence of a foreign diploma to its Spanish counterpart.
It is important to note that the homologation process may take some time, and additional procedures will be required if the qualification does not fully meet Spanish standards.
