Find out when a sworn translator in English is needed
Sworn translations in English are required each time a document must be provided to a public body, as required by the authorities, so that foreign documents have the official validity required within Spain.
Important: You should always keep in mind that Spain is a signatory country of the Hague Convention, so the document to be translated in English must be previously apostillised with the Hague stamp. This stamp can be obtained at the consulate of the country of origin in Spain or at the Chamber of Notaries of the country of origin.
