By going in person to collect the certificate and presenting the document confirming that they have paid for it to be issued.

• If you cannot collect the certificate in person, another duly authorized person may do so on your behalf. They must present their own identity document and a photocopy of your identity document. There are various ways of doing this:
  • By requesting it previously in person at the secretary's office or any registry of the URV and signing the corresponding authorisation and presenting the necessary documentation.
  • By requesting it in an email sent from your URV email address to the secretary's office and attaching the corresponding authorisation and any necessary documentation. If you no longer have a URV email address, you can obtain a new one if you join the Alumni programme.
  • By requesting this via the online procedures:
    • Access the URV's online procedures via the Intranet and upload the necessary authorisation and documentation.
    • If you cannot access the URV's online procedures, you can present a generic request online at the URV's electronic registry. Click on the link to the General Registry of the URV, then click on "Accés al registre electrònic", fill in a generic application form and attach the corresponding authorisation and necessary documentation.
  • By using a notary to authorise another person (more information).

• If the student resides in another locality in Spain, they may request that the certificate be sent to the Central Government’s office in that locality by submitting the corresponding application via the online procedures. In this application, the student must indicate specifically the organization and physical address to which the document must be sent.

• If the student resides in another country, they may request that the certificate be sent to a Spanish embassy or consular office, by submitting the corresponding application via the online procedures. In this application, the student must indicate specifically the organization and physical address to which the document must be sent. There is a charge for this procedure.
  The charges for sending the certificate to another country are as follows:

•         - Zone 1 (Europe and Greenland) --> €25
          - Zone 2 (Rest of the World) --> €30

* Before paying the fee for the transfer, check that whether your certificate will need to be legalized in order to be valid in your country. The document is legalized in the country where the certificate is issued, and this must be done by the student or authorized individual. Please be aware that the Ministry of Universities states that if the documentation for the legalization is presented by a third person, it must be accompanied by a signed authorization from the holder of the document and the interested party's identity document (authorizations submitted by fax or email will not be accepted). If the original certificate has not been signed by the holder, the authorization must be carried out by a notary.

• A specific stamp must be included in the official degree certificate.
