I'm in the process of getting my engineer's license recognized here in the DR, is there any chance anybody has worked with Codia or Uasd to have there coursework recognized? I'm asking as this is apparently all done in SD and I can't get people at the Uasd to pick up the danged phone.

Chip, I think you'll first need to have an official college transcript validated (legalized) by the Higher Education, Science and Technology Ministry
(SEESCYT) Servicios al Ciudadano - Legalizaci?n de Documentos Extranjeros -... I'll see what else I can find out for you..

Is this a department of UASD? I ask because the people at CODIA have told me I needed to get my college transcripts legalized by UASD. I then called the Civil Dept at UASD and they directed me to the "Revalida" Dept. They also noted that I will have to have the docs translated. Unfortunately, the people in the Revalida Dept don't like to pick up the phone, hence the problem.

I don't think you have to get your college transcript legalized by UASD. That's only true if you are an alumni of that university, which obviously you are not.

At least that's what I understood from the CODIA website:

DOCUMENTACION REQUERIDA PARA LA SOLICITUD
DE EXEQUATUR Y COLEGIACION DE PROFESIONALES

As far as I understand it, all foreign college transcripts and degrees need first to be legalized and validated by SEESCYT. After your official college transcript has been legalized and your degree authenticated by SEESCYT UASD will accept it and the department that handles 'revalidas' will set the requisite (if any) to have your degree recognized here in DR (and of course by CODIA).

The list looks intimidating but 1 and 3 are applications and 3, 5 and 6 are covered by an official transcript. They are also asking that about the accreditation of the univ in the States and I'll have to call the registrars office about that. It is also kind of troubling that they want an original copy of license in Fl so I'll call the office to make sure that I can get another copy in the likely event that they lose it. Of course the hardest thing will be having to have this translated by a recognized translator and having it certified at the Miami consulado. They don't make things easy and I wonder why - can you say job security? :)

Thanks

What a difference. To revalidate my degree in the US. I only needed my official course of work translated and convalidated by authorized agencies.
