Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to homologate a Nutricionista degree in Spain?+
The official government fee for the homologation application is set by the Ministerio de Ciencia and subject to annual updates. Additional costs include sworn translations, Apostille legalization, and any professional registration fees — budget approximately €300–€800 in total.
How long does Nutricionista homologation in Spain take?+
The official process typically takes between 3 and 12 months from the date of a complete application submission. Incomplete documentation is the most common cause of delays.
Which Ministry handles Nutricionista homologation in Spain?+
The Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades manages degree homologation for Dietista-Nutricionista via its Valida-TE portal. ANECA provides the academic evaluation report used in the final resolution.
What is Valida-TE and how do I use it?+
Valida-TE is the official online platform of the Ministerio de Ciencia where you submit your homologation application and upload all required documents. You must create an account, complete the form, and pay the administrative fee online.
Can I work as a Nutricionista in Spain without homologation?+
No — Dietista-Nutricionista is a regulated profession in Spain and you cannot legally practice or register with the Colegio Profesional without an official homologation resolution. Practicing without it carries legal and professional risk.
Does my degree need to have a minimum number of credits?+
Yes — your university degree must have a minimum of 240 ECTS credits, equivalent to four years of full-time academic training. Shorter degrees do not meet the homologation requirements under RD 889/2022.
Do I need a sworn translation of my documents?+
Yes — all documents issued in a language other than Spanish must be translated by a certified traductor jurado officially recognized in Spain. Unofficial translations are not accepted by the Ministry.
Is the Apostille required for my degree certificate?+
Yes — for countries signatory to the Hague Convention, an Apostille stamp is required on your original degree and academic transcript. Countries not party to the Convention must use diplomatic legalization instead.
Do I need to prove I can practice in my home country?+
Yes — you must provide an official certificate from your home country's professional body or ministry confirming you are authorized to practice as a Dietista-Nutricionista there. This is a mandatory requirement under RD 889/2022.
What is the role of ANECA in the homologation process?+
ANECA evaluates whether your degree's curriculum meets the competencies and training modules defined in Orden CIN/730/2009 for Dietista-Nutricionista. Its report informs — but does not replace — the final resolution issued by the Ministry.
Can I register with the Colegio de Nutricionistas before homologation is complete?+
No — registro profesional is only possible after receiving the official positive homologation resolution from the Ministerio de Ciencia. Attempting to register beforehand will be rejected.
What happens if my application is rejected?+
If rejected, the Ministry will specify the reasons — typically missing competencies or incomplete documentation. You may supplement your application, appeal the decision, or explore complementary training to fill identified gaps.
Are there additional costs during the homologation process?+
Yes, when making the official submission, a Ministry fee must be paid (€166.50). Prior to this, our team will have reviewed all your documentation to ensure it meets the established criteria. This cost applies to all professions except medical specialist.
