If you have been asked for a homologación de título or certificates of equivalence this page should help to ensure that you get the right documents for your process.

Original or Copy

We cannot tell you your specific requirements - This would be a matter for your processing agent. The commonest requests we have are:-

1. On the document - Verified true copy of a certificate (sometimes also a transcript) separately notarised and apostilled - notarisation certificate placed directly on the copy document.
2. Cover sheet - Verified true copy of a certificate (sometimes also a transcript) separately notarised and apostilled - Notarisation certificate contained within a covering certificate.
3. Bundled - Verified true copy of a certificate and transcript bundled under one cover sheet bearing the notarial certificate and requiring one apostille.
4. Original - Verified original document - usually with the notarisation certificate contained within a covering certificate.
5. Original bundled - More than one original verified documents under one covering notarial certificate.

You should be aware that if your original certificate is to be notarised then your certificate will have a hole punched into a top corner and an embossed part stamp placed in another corner. Please bear this in mind if you think you will want to put your certificate on display in the future.

Points to consider with original documents

What if I don't have the original?

We can still certify your award as having been verified but would not be able to state that it is a true copy of an original document. Whilst common sense would dictate that your recipient should be more concerned with your award being genuine than with the physical certificate please do not assume that your recipient will accept a certificate that does not state the original has been inspected!
