academic qualifications
Explanation:
I don't think it's specific to secondary school; it can refer to any academic qualification. Your example talks of forging documents, such as driving licence, (...) academic qualifications (e.g. a university degree certificate), ID papers etc.

I think there's a comma missing after "automoveis", i.e. "certificados de habilitacoes literarias" is a separate item in the list.
