Scope, quote, and next steps
- The service starts from €350 + VAT; the final quote depends on the recognition route, documents, and work required.
- The service price does not include official fees, sworn translations, legalizations, apostilles, document issuance, or third-party costs unless expressly stated.
- The initial appointment defines the route and scope; the full service is contracted and quoted separately.
- The competent authority makes the decision, so approval and a specific resolution time cannot be guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions about the service
Homologation, equivalence, or validation: which one do I need?
It depends on your goal. Homologation is commonly linked to qualifications leading to regulated professions; equivalence recognizes an academic level and validation concerns specific studies. We review your case before choosing.
Can you check whether my profession is regulated?
We can review your professional goal and the administrative route described in the available official information. If a professional body or sector authority is involved, we identify that dependency so the scope is clear.
Do my documents need translation and an apostille?
It may be required depending on the document, issuing country, and procedure. The review checks the applicable official information rather than assuming every document has the same formalities.
Do you also handle non-university qualifications?
We can review the initial fit and direct you to the relevant education procedure for non-university homologation or validation. The quote depends on the route and actual scope.
Does the service guarantee recognition of my qualification?
No. We prepare the file to reduce errors and address known requirements, but the Administration decides and may request further reports or documents.
How much does the service cost?
The service starts from €350 + VAT. The final scope is defined after reviewing the qualification, academic record, goal, and outstanding formalities.
