Frequently Asked Questions

What are “sworn” or “official” translations?

Official translations are those that are done and certified by a sworn translator. Sworn translators are legally authorised to confirm that the translated text matches the original, similar to the work of a notary or technical expert. Sworn translators have to be appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or by the official organisations of Spain�s autonomous communities. Translators need to pass a specific exam or hold a specific university degree in translation to obtain the title of sworn translator. All of our sworn translators are properly registered and comply with all the formal requirements for their translations to be officially recognised and their signature to be certified.
