Mercosur signed an agreement to simplify the process of revalidating graduation diplomas awarded in its member countries. The agreement was signed at the 53rd Summit of Heads of State of Mercosur and Associated States. The revalidation will take place through documentary verification, with no need for specific academic evaluation analyses.
Thus, a graduation diploma obtained in Brazil, for example, will be valid in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, the other Mercosur countries. Reciprocity should apply between these four countries.
