Certification Services (for students)

Important information: October 2020
Due to the current Coivd situation our certification services are currently unavailable.  Please contact us at education@britishcouncil.es for further information.      

We offer a certification service of photocopies of your original documents at our offices in Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia. We do not verify original documents.

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.

To certify your original UK documents for legalisation purposes please note that you should do this via public notary in the UK. For further information please see the guidance provided on notary services by the UK Government
