We all know the importance of schooling<\/a>\u00a0our children. To apply for the school that best suits them is just as important as finding our ideal home; this topic will be our main concern while settling down.<\/p>\n The school becomes the center of our lives, especially when we settle in a new city. It\u2019s the place where our children will spend the most time and probably where most of our social life will come from, not just our children.<\/p>\n In order to properly school our children, work begins before we move. Depending on the year they\u2019ll apply for, we may or may not need to provide documentation from previous schools and to validate or approve their studies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Students from foreign educational systems who apply for:<\/p>\n Of course, foreign degrees must meet certain requirements<\/a> for their homologation or validation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For \u201cESO\u201d and \u201cBachillerato\u201d Degrees, the competent bodies<\/strong> to process the file and formulate the corresponding proposal for resolution will be the following:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An application or validation form<\/a> must be submitted, completed with the required data and attach a series of official documents that must be duly legalized and accompanied by an official translation into Spanish, provided that it corresponds.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Legalization<\/strong> is the procedure for validating the signatures of the authorities that sign a document by means of which the authenticity of the same is accredited, for the purpose of its presentation in a third country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In the case of academic titles or certifications, legalization generally consists of the recognition of the signature of the educational authority that issues the original document (not the one that guarantees its compulsa or translation).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n No legalization is required for documents issued in Member States of the European Union or signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Likewise, documents issued by Switzerland under a bilateral agreement with the European Union are exempt from legalization.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n In all other cases, documents issued abroad which wish to be asserted in these proceedings must be duly authenticated in accordance with the following conditions:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The official translation<\/strong> (when necessary) can be done:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In principle, unless the processing unit claims the original documents, certified (“Compulsa”) photocopies<\/strong> of all the required documentation will be presented.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The compulsa is that diligence carried out by the corresponding authority (generally the registration unit that receives the documents), justifying that a photocopy corresponds faithfully with the original document that it reproduces. The copy must be made once the originals have been legalized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The school you choose will help you to apply with these procedures and will provide more detailed information tailored to your personal situation. Keep in mind that it\u2019s easier to do this from your country of origin.<\/p>\n If you are planning to move to Madrid soon, you\u2019ll find all the relevant information in The secret of relocating to Madrid<\/em><\/a>. If, in addition, you need help with the organization or even if you prefer that we accompany you, check out our services<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the meantime, you can receive regular information by filling out this questionnaire. And if you find it useful, we thank you for sharing it.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]\n
