Among the most sought-after consular services are those that allow a person to obtain important documents in their country of origin and legalize them for use outside that territory.
This type of procedure is carried out through diplomatic entities, such as consulates or embassies, which offer these services to their country’s citizens who are abroad.
Obtaining a study document in your home country is a fairly straightforward process, especially if you have enough information to locate your document, or if you have an original document that you can reproduce and legalize.
In cases where you do not have all of the necessary information, you can still access this service. However, you will experience longer wait times and higher prices.
Obtain Cuban educational certificates
In order to apply for a study document, citizens who have emigrated or are temporarily residing outside of Cuba must go to the appropriate Cuban consulate.
Note: You must request an appointment in advance via e-mail or the institution’s website to visit some consulates.
In the case of the Cuban Consulate in the United States, it is not possible to carry out the procedure personally, but it is necessary to contract the services of an authorized agency of this entity, acting on behalf of the interested party.
Documentation Required
- Original title or data (volume, folio, institution, data)
- National Identity Card
- Payment for the service at the rate in effect at the time
- Completed form
Delay times
Depending on several factors that may impede the process, the waiting time to receive the legalized document may vary.
First, the agency or consulate must begin the process of locating the document, which can be quick or slow depending on the amount of information provided.
The document and other necessary documents are then sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX), where legalization is completed within 10 working days of receipt.
This time does not include any additional delays related to the transfer of documents. In some cases, these delays can extend to several months.
