Why You Need Apostilled and Translated Academic Documents for Visa or residency applications

In Spain, all foreign academic records must be officially legalized and translated before they can be used for:

• University admission or transfer of credits
• Teaching positions or English programs (e.g., Auxiliares de Conversación)
• Employment requiring degree verification
• Recognition of degrees (homologación de títulos extranjeros)
• Student visa renewals or professional licensing

If your Visa or residency applications involves Spanish educational or government institutions, they will not accept your diploma or transcript unless it’s apostilled and sworn-translated.
