What is a sworn Spanish translation (traducción jurada)?
A traducción jurada is a translation into Spanish completed and signed by a traductor jurado, a sworn translator appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who certifies that it is complete and accurate.
Spain restricts official translation to sworn translators appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Spanish offices generally expect that status on translations of foreign documents. It's a different system from the UK, where a certified translation with a signed statement of accuracy is the norm. In Spain, the translator's signature and seal are what give the translation its official standing, which is a lot of responsibility for one rubber stamp. Our Spanish translations are completed and signed by a traductor jurado, and every order is quality-checked before delivery.
When do Spanish authorities ask for a sworn translation?
Commonly for residence and visa applications, registering a marriage or birth with the Spanish Civil Registry, recognising UK qualifications, nationality applications and notarial or property matters. Confirm the requirement with the receiving office first.
These are common uses, not a list of authorities that have approved our translations. Each Spanish office or consulate sets its own requirements, and two consulates can publish two slightly different checklists for the same visa, so read the one for yours. Tell us what they've asked for when you upload your documents.
Consular visa applications commonly ask for a police certificate and bank statements showing your means. Registering a birth or marriage with the Registro Civil usually starts with a birth certificate, and homologación of a UK degree with your degree certificate and transcripts.
- Residence permits and visa applications, including at Spanish consulates
- Registering a marriage or birth with the Civil Registry (Registro Civil)
- Recognition (homologación) of UK degrees and qualifications
- Spanish nationality applications
- Notarial, property and inheritance matters
How much does a sworn Spanish translation cost and how long does it take?
£48.00 per page, delivered within 2 working days. There is no rush option because a sworn translator completes and signs every translation. Orders are charged in pounds sterling.
The price covers the translation into Spanish, the traductor jurado's signature and a quality check, with no separate certification fee, and every document includes 2 free revisions. Upload all your documents through the online quote form to see the total before you pay.
Do I need an apostille for documents going to Spain?
Often, for UK public documents such as birth, marriage and police certificates, but it depends on the office. We don't issue apostilles, so check with the receiving authority and arrange it before ordering the translation.
If your document needs an apostille, get it on the original first. You can then send us the document with the apostille attached, and the apostille certificate is translated along with it. A Spanish official will notice an untranslated apostille: it is, after all, a page of numbered boxes that isn't in Spanish. Our apostille translation page explains the process in more detail.
