Obtaining and Legalizing Cuban Degree Certificates

Emigrating, or looking for new work and study opportunities outside Cuba, almost always means producing a properly accredited degree certificate. At Cuba Legal Services we make sure your years of study are recognized internationally, without you having to travel to the island to deal with the paperwork.

We handle degree certificates at every level of education:

• ·University degrees: Bachelor's degrees, engineering, medicine, and postgraduate or master's qualifications.
• ·Technical and mid-level qualifications: Technician-level and vocational education certificates.
• ·High-school diplomas: Upper secondary school graduation certificates.

For your Cuban degree certificate to be valid abroad, we put it through a rigorous validation process:

1. 01
   Retrieval or Collection

   If you do not have the physical certificate, we obtain it, or a duplicate, from the relevant institution in Cuba.

2. 02
   Legalization at MINJUS

   We validate the signatures of the education authorities at the Cuban Ministry of Justice.

3. 03
   Consular Route / Apostille

   We arrange legalization at the embassies and consulates accredited in Cuba for the country where you will seek recognition or practise your profession.

4. 04
   Secure International Delivery

   We send the legalized original certificate straight to your address by urgent courier (DHL / Correos Express), with a tracking number.

Why these files get rejected

Credential evaluation agencies apply strict, inflexible criteria: a sealed envelope sent directly by the issuing institution, a complete file with nothing left out, and a translation faithful to the original document. A single broken link in that chain — an opened envelope, incomplete course content, a course misread in translation — is enough for the file to be rejected or evaluated downward. And redoing it almost always means starting again in Cuba.
