Attesting French Educational Certificates for use in Spain

Spain is a signatory to the Apostille Convention, so qualifications certified by French Apostille will be accepted by Spanish Authorities, including the Ministry of Education, directly without requiring attestation by the Spanish Embassy. However, documents in French must be translated into Spanish. This translation must be correctly certified by a translator registered with the Spanish Ministry of Foreign AffairsExternal link (opens in new tab) (in Spanish).
