Questions before sending your documents

A sworn translation is an official translation carried out by a translator authorised by Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC). It includes the translator’s certification, signature and official stamp confirming that the translation is a true and accurate rendering of the original document.

Yes. Our sworn translations are carried out by a translator listed on the official register of sworn translators maintained by Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC). They are valid for official procedures before Spanish authorities, registries, universities, notaries and Consulates.
