Submission of documents
You can opt for any of the following means:
- Verification of the degree title through the free service "consult your Degrees" offered by the Education Ministry (only for degree titles issued in Spain): through this service, you can authorise the UAH so that we can verify the details of your degree title without the need to provide it on paper. In this Guide we tell you how to do it.
- Verification of the degree title through the free service "Carpeta Ciudadana" (only for degree titles issued in Spain): through the Carpeta Ciudadana application you can download, in the "Educación y Formación" tab, the proof of your university degrees so that we can verify the details of your degree without the need to provide it on paper.
- Valid e-document. It may be sent by email.
- Original documents: in person, by appointment only, at the Official Postgraduate Studies Service. Once authenticated, the originals will be returned. This can also be done using the electronic registry.
- Officially authenticated copies: these may be sent by conventional mail or presented in person, by appointment only (at the Official Postgraduate Studies Service). The copies must have been officially authenticated by a notary, a competent administrative body or by the Spanish embassy or consulate in the country that issued the document.
