Certification Services (for students)
We offer a certification service of photocopies of your original documents at our offices in Barcelona and Madrid. We do not verify original documents for legalisation purposes.
This service costs 40€ for up to a maximum of five separate documents which can be paid by debit or credit card during your appointment. You can book an appointment by e-mailing us at education@britishcouncil.es
When you come to your appointment you must bring your original UK documents and the photocopies to be certified. For audit purposes the British Council will keep a copy of every document certified in a secure file for a period of seven years.
Legalisation of UK documents
The British Council and the British Consulates in Spain are not able to provide assistance with certifying or legalising UK educational documents. If you need to legalise (Apostilla de la Haya) your education document you can do so through available online agencies. They certify your documents and send them for legalisation, returning them to you with both certification and /legalisation. Contact us at education@britishcouncil.es if you need the links to some of these agencies.
