Frequent questions
The quickest thing is to send us an email attaching the document you need translated. If it is a physical document, do scan the document on a printer so that it can be read correctly in its entirety, including the margins, stamps and other elements it may have. We will then send you an approximate quote and deadline, which must be formalized through order confirmation
The price of sworn translations is calculated based on the length, language, difficulty and deadline, which is why each translation must be budgeted individually. Payment can be made in our offices or by digital means. Sometimes, a partial payment in advance may be required to guarantee delivery.
A sworn translation is a translation that has legal validity, both in Spain and abroad. It must be done by a sworn translator, authorized by the Administration. Documents that usually require a sworn translation are: birth, marriage or death certificates, notarial powers and deeds, academic certifications, criminal record certificates, company memorandum and articles of association, etc.
The apostille process consists of placing an Apostille or annotation on a public document to certify the authenticity of the signature placed on documents issued in a country that is a signatory of the XII Hague Convention, of October 5, 1961. This effectively eliminates the requirement for Consular Legalization of Foreign Public Documents
Thus, documents issued in a signatory country of the Convention that have been certified by an Apostille are recognized in any other country of the Convention without the need for another type of authentication.
