In the Canary Islands, many people require sworn English–Spanish translations in order to submit documents for official procedures related to their life in Spain. This is particularly common for applications submitted to immigration offices, civil registries, notaries and other public administrations on islands such as Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Among the most frequent procedures in the Canary Islands are NIE and TIE applications or renewals, Spanish nationality applications, the registration of births or marriages celebrated abroad, and the submission of documents issued in English such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, ACRO or DBS police certificates, bank statements and proof of financial means, employment letters or academic documents. Medical reports and university certificates are also commonly translated for recognition procedures and other administrative processes.
As many residents live on different islands or manage their paperwork remotely, we provide a 100% online service, delivering sworn translations in digitally signed PDF format (FNMT) that are valid throughout Spain and particularly convenient for avoiding unnecessary travel between islands.
We work with clients across the entire archipelago, providing a fast, reliable and straightforward service tailored to the most common procedures in the Canary Islands.
