Homologación in Spain Explained

Foreign academic qualifications can interact with Spanish recognition procedures in different ways depending on the qualification and intended use. The right procedure may be homologación, equivalence or another form of recognition.

What to organise first

Before collecting translations, identify which authority and procedure apply to your qualification. This avoids spending time and money legalising documents that may not match the route you actually need.

Think about the whole case

Typical preparation may involve identity documents, the diploma, academic records and correctly completed translation/legalisation steps. The exact list depends on the procedure and qualification.

Use current official information

Use official education/administration information for the current procedure and requirements, especially for regulated professions.
