Fees
Fees for the provision of academic and administrative services with regard to official studies are established by the Generalitat de Catalunya (the Catalan Government) for each academic year, through the Decree establishing fees for academic-service provision in Catalan public universities.
Payment
This can be made by credit or debit card.
Language
The certificate is written in three languages (within the same document): Catalan, Spanish and English.
Certificate Model
Data from the academic transcript is certified only in accordance with the model of personal academic certificates established by the UAB. Partial studies are not certified.
Data
Only data held on file at the UAB can be certified.
Once you have the signed certificate you should send it to legalizaciones.cat@correo.gob.es, before the day of your appointment so that its authenticity can be verified.
To avoid unnecessary travel, it is recommended not to make an appointment until the Alta Inspección de Educación of Barcelona has confirmed that the previous document sent by email is correct. On the day of the appointment, it will be necessary to bring the 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.
Legalisation of the academic certificate (unfinished studies)
If you have not completed your studies and need to legalise an academic certificate stating what you have studied at the UAB, you cannot use the electronic academic certificate.
In this case, it is necessary that you request a personal academic certificate from your academic management office (Gestió Acadèmica) with a handwritten signature of the attestor of the center. You can apply in person by appointment or through the UAB electronic registry (generic application). This handwritten certificate is only issued in Catalan or Spanish. The fees for the personal academic certificate can be paid in person to the academic management office (Gestió Acadèmica) by credit/debit card. If the application is made through the electronic office, the receipt of the bank deposit of the certificate fee must be attached. In this case, you must first contact Academic Management Office (Gestió Acadèmica) so that they can provide you the account number in which to make the deposit.
To legalise this handwritten certificate you must go to the following notary's office:
