What Is a Spanish Certified Translation?

A Spanish certified translation is a complete translation of a document between Spanish and English, supplied with formal certification confirming that the translated content represents the source document.

It may be required when a Spanish document is submitted to a UK authority, university, employer, solicitor, court, embassy or another organisation that cannot assess the original language.

The receiving organisation decides which certification route it requires. Send any written instructions with your document so the appropriate service can be reviewed before work begins.

Both translation directions

Spanish-to-English and English-to-Spanish Translation

The language direction should be confirmed before translation begins. Include the intended use of the document, the receiving organisation and any required terminology or spelling preferences.

Understanding the terminology

Do You Need a Spanish Certified Translator?

Customers often use the term “Spanish certified translator” when looking for someone who can translate a document and provide the formal certification needed for official submission.

The important requirement is the format requested by the organisation receiving the document. A standard certified translation may be sufficient, while some authorities may instead request a notarised, sworn or other formally verified translation.

Check the authority’s instructions before ordering and include them with your file when possible.

Choose the appropriate route

Certified, UKVI, Notarised or Sworn?

These services are not interchangeable. Follow the written instructions supplied by the receiving authority and ask for clarification when the required route is unclear.
