Issuing certificates

Diploma application

You can apply for your degree certificate online. Please read further information about the procedure to apply for the document Information about the online procedure to apply for your degree certificate.

You can also apply for your certificate in person at the Academic Management Office in the centre or faculty where you completed your studies by arranging an appointment in advance. Alternatively, you can submit your application to the UAB’s Electronic Registry.

If, once your application has been submitted, you are informed that you do not meet the requirements to obtain your degree certificate, you will have 10 days to submit the corresponding supporting documentation or any allegations.

• A valid DNI card, NIE or passport
• Documentation accrediting free admission or discount in force at the time of application. for the degree (large family, recognised disability equal to or greater than 33 % or any other cases recognised in the current decree setting the price of academic services at public universities in Catalonia).

If the documentation cannot be transferred from another administration electronically, the original or a certified copy must be submitted. In the case of passports, it will always be necessary to have a certified copy, since this document cannot be transferred.

For Spanish academic documents to be valid abroad, they must be legalised. A degree certificate cannot be  legalised if the interested party has not signed it  (this happens when  the certificate has been collected  by a third party with power of attorney or by accreditation of registration on the  electronic registry of powers of attorney). The legalisation procedure involves different steps depending on whether the document is an official degree certificate or a specific qualification.

• Please check the information necessary to legalise an official degree certificate in the specific document on the legalisation of academic documents of official degree certificates that are valid abroad.
• Please check the information necessary to legalise a UB-specific degree certificate in the specific document on the legalisation of academic documents of UB-specific degrees that are valid abroad.

Once you receive the replacement certificate for our degree certificate by email, you can start the legalisation procedures. Please note that you must send it by email to legalizaciones.cat@correo.gob.es before the date of your appointment, so that they can verify its authenticity.

To avoid unnecessary travel, it is recommended that you do not make an appointment until the High Inspectorate of Education has confirmed that the previous document sent by email is correct. On the day of the appointment, it will be necessary to bring your CST printed on paper, since when you legalise it, it will be rubber stamped.

Students residing abroad (including Andorra) do not need to physically go to the High Inspectorate of Education in Barcelona for the signature recognition process. This procedure with the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities can be carried out at the different Spanish embassy and consulate offices.
