What a sworn translation is — and what it isn't

We arrange certified translations through traductores-intérpretes jurados appointed by Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC), and manage the project, delivery and formalities for you.

Sworn translation (traducción jurada)

A translation carrying the signature and stamp of a traductor-intérprete jurado — a translator individually appointed by Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC) with legal authority to certify that a translation is a true and faithful version of the original. This is what most Spanish public bodies, courts, and universities mean when they ask for a "sworn" or "official" translation. We arrange this through MAEC-appointed jurados and manage the whole project for you.

Certified translation with a certificate of accuracy

A translation accompanied by a signed statement from us confirming it is accurate and complete. It isn't the same as a sworn translation and doesn't carry the same legal weight in Spain — but some non-Spanish authorities, universities, and employers accept it. If you're not sure which one your situation needs, tell us where the document is going and we'll confirm before you order.

Apostille / legalisation

A separate certification, added by a public authority, confirming that the original document itself is genuine — this concerns the document, not the translation, and it's a different process again. We don't issue apostilles ourselves, but we'll tell you before you order if your document is likely to need one, and point you to the right office.

Common questions

No — see the explainer above. Tell us where the document is going and we’ll confirm which one you need before you order.

In most cases, yes, particularly across the EU — but requirements vary by country and institution. Tell us the destination when you order and we’ll flag if an apostille is likely needed too.

No — that’s issued by a public authority, not a translation studio. We’ll tell you before you order if yours is likely to need one.

That’s usually fine, as long as the text is fully legible. Send it with your order and we’ll tell you if we need a clearer copy.

No. We don’t hold an ISO certification, and we won’t claim one. Every translation is produced by a native subject-matter linguist and then independently reviewed by a second qualified linguist before delivery — a described process, not a badge. Full detail on How it works.
