Legalization of Foreign Degrees

If I have done my study out of Spain I have to legalize it?

It does not require any kind of legalization for documents issued in Member States of the European Union or signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area:
 

In other cases, documents issued abroad (Diplomas and academic certificates) who want to assert themselves in these procedures must be duly authenticated in accordance with the following conditions:

DOCUMENTS ISSUED IN COUNTRIES THAT HAVE SIGNED THE HAGUE CONVENTION OF OCTOBER 5, 1961

Enough with the single legalization or "Apostille" issued by the competent authorities (apostille in paper or electronic format, if the country that issues it gives the possibility of requesting/issuing the apostille in electronic format).

In addition to the countries of the European Economic Area, they are:
 

Extensions: Netherlands (Netherlands Antilles); United Kingdom (Jersey, Bailiwick of Guernsey, Isle of Man, Bermuda, British Antarctic Territory, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Saint Helena, Turks and Caicos, Virgin Islands).

DOCUMENTS ISSUED IN COUNTRIES THAT HAVE SIGNED THE ANDRÉS BELLO AGREEMENT

Must be legalized through diplomatic channels (the procedure removes the last step of the ordinary legalization). (When the country is also a signatory to the Hague Covenio, you can use the more simple procedure established by it). They must be submitted:

• Ministry of Education of the country of origin for degrees and certificates of study.
• Corresponding Ministry for birth certificates and nationality in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country where the documents were issued.
• Diplomatic or consular representation of Spain in that country. Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, Spain, Panama, Peru and Venezuela.

DOCUMENTS ISSUED IN OTHER COUNTRIES

​Must be legalized through diplomatic channels. To do this, they must be submitted to:

• Ministry of Education of the country of origin for qualifications and study certificates and the corresponding Ministry for birth and nationality certificates.
• Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country where the documents were issued.
• Diplomatic or consular representation of Spain in that country.

The documents issued by diplomatic or consular authorities of other countries in Spain must be legalized at the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
