Certificate evaluation
23 Feb 2007
In order to get the official recognition of foreign diplomas in Mexico, one must go to the department of “Equivalencias y Revalidaciones” at the Mexican Ministry of Education.
There are 3 different types of application.
1. Total Revalidation
Total Revalidation is necessary in order to obtain a “cedula professional”, the permit that testifies that you have a bachelor or master degree and that you are capable to work in the field of your study. This permit is only necessary if the company or organization where you will work in Mexico requires it.
2. Dictamen Tecnico
This type of revalidation is necessary if you will study a course at a private higher education institute on your own (outside the exchange agreements between universities).
3. Revalidacion Parcial
You will need a partial revalidation if you would like to continue unfinished studies at a private higher education institute in Mexico.
For specific information in regard of the requirements, you can contact the department of “Equivalencias y Revalidaciones” of the Mexican Ministry of Education or you can contact the NESO office in Mexico.
