PMF on official and own degrees

Official degree certificates

The Europass Diploma Supplement (EDS) is an academic certificate that contains information about the studies done.It is issued in three languages (Catalan, Spanish and English) and is recognised all over Europe.It may be shown to any institution when applying for a job or for further studies in Europe.

Official degree certificates can only be collected by the person named on them or those with power of attorney. Written authorisation is not accepted.

The EDS can be collected using a documentation collection authorisation form (downloaded from the Forms webpage) and a photocopy of the national ID card of the person named on the certificate.

Another option is to request the sending of the certificate or EDS.

Official certificates can only be sent to a government delegation or subdelegation (except Girona) if you live in Spain, or an embassy or consulate if you live abroad.

Your request for forwarding to the Government Delegation in Barcelona will not be possible if you have obtained the degree from a centre located in the province of Barcelona.

The request to get certificates sent is an online procedure made via the intranet La meva UdG.You can find information on the cost of this on the Fees for degrees, certificates and other academic management services webpage.

If this applies to you, please call us on 972 41 80 45, or send an email to titols@udg.edu.

If you have lost your degree certificate, please call 972 41 80 45 or send an email to titols@udg.edu.We can check and see if the certificate has been picked up.If so, we will tell you how to request a duplicate.

To collect the certificate you have two options:

  1. The option we recommend is that you request it be sent to the embassy or to the Spanish Consulate General nearest to where you live.For more information go to “Sending the official certificate” section of the website Administrative procedures for degrees and certificates.Once the certificate arrives at the embassy or consulate, you must pick it up personally and sign it so that it is fully valid.
  2. Another person who is duly authorised with powers of notary public can also pick it up in your name.However, the certificate must be signed personally to be able to legalise it.

Regarding legalisation with the Hague Apostille, this can only be done in Spain (Barcelona or Madrid).Therefore, once you have the signed certificate, if you cannot travel to Spain personally you have two possibilities:

  1. Authorising someone else to do so in person in your name.This is the most advisable option.In the case of Barcelona, you must first go to in the Regional Government Office in Catalonia - Higher Inspectorate of Education (C/ Bergara, 12, 5th floor, Tel. 93 520 96 03), and later to the Higher Court of Justice of Catalonia (Passeig Lluís Companys, 14-16).The authorised person must present the certificate and written authorisation with your original signature.
  2. Requesting the Apostille long-distance.You must send the certificate by post to the Ministry of Education.This procedure takes longer than the first one, but if you decide to do it this way then send us a message at titols@udg.edu and we will give you more information.
