Issuing certificates

Diploma application

You can apply for your diploma on the Gestió Acadèmica or online at http://sia.uab.cat.

You will find in this document the information you need to make the diploma application by yourself.

You must request your certificate from the Academic Administration Office (Gestió Acadèmica) in the centre where you have completed your studies. If you are told that you do not meet all the requirements to obtain your qualification, you are given a period of 10 days during which you may present any relevant documents or plead your case.

• Current spanish national identity card, NIE (Foreign Resident Identification Number) or passport,
• Documentation accrediting gratuity or current discount at the time of making the request for the diploma (large family, recognized disability equal to or greater than 33%, and other situations recognized in the current Decree in which the prices of academic services are set of the public universities of Catalonia).

In the case that the documentation cannot be interoperated, it will be necessary to present an original or authentic copy. In the case of the passport, it will always be necessary to have a certified or authentic copy, because this document cannot be interoperated.

Spanish certificates need to be legalised in order to be valid for legal purposes outside Spain. In case the diploma is picked up by power of attorney and is not signed by the person concerned, you must keep in mind that it cannot be legalized. This process consists of several steps described in the following documentation:

• You will find the required information in order to legalise your official studies certificate in this link.
• You will find the required information in order to legalise your specific UAB studies certificate in this link.

Once you are in possession of your Degree-Substitute Certificate, if you need a legalisation (legal validation) this must be sent by email to the following address: legalizaciones.cat@correo.gob.es, before the date scheduled for the appointment, in order that the document can be verified.

To avoid unnecessary travel, it is recommended not to make an appointment until the Alta Inspección de Educación has confirmed that the previous document sent by email is correct. On the day of the appointment, it will be necessary to bring the Degree-Substitute Certificate printed on paper since when legalizing it they stamp a rubber stamp.

For students residing abroad (including Andorra) it is not necessary to physically travel to the Alta Inspección de Educación of Barcelona for the process of recognition of signatures. This procedure with the Ministry of Universities can be carried out at the different Spanish embassies and consulates.
