Steps to recognise your secondary studies

Steps to recognise secondary studies

 

  • Fill in the corresponding application.
  • Pay the corresponding fee to recognise your studies via bank transfer to the following bank account pertaining to the Spanish Ministry of Education: IBAN: ES27 9000 0001 2002 5310 8018; Bank: Bank of Spain; Address: Calle Alcalá, 16, 28014-Madrid (Spain); Swift code/ BIC Code: ESPBESMMXXX (form)
  • Validate your documents as follows:
    • If they’re not in Spanish, you need to forward a legalised copy as well as an official translation by a sworn translator authorised or registered in Spain.
    • The original documents have to be duly legalised. Depending on the country of origin, this process can be done in one of two ways:
    • Ministry of Education for educational certificates and degrees.
    • Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
    • Countries’ diplomatic or consular offices in Spain (where candidates can also make notarised copies of their documents, taking the original documents with them and directly proceeding with the process to recognise their studies).
  • Obtain a notarised copy of the documents, taking the already legalised original documents to the competent authorities (issuing academic institution, notary public, consulates, etc.).
  • Present your application with the following documents at Spain’s diplomatic or consular offices in your country of origin. If already in Spain, present your application and documents at the following authorised locations.
  • The recognition process takes approximately 4 months. Consequently, to register for programmes in Spain, you must present the Conditional Registration Voucher while awaiting official recognition.
