When you need certified Spanish translation
Spanish to English Certified Translation for Official Documents
A document translated from Spanish into English may need certification if it will be submitted to a UK authority, university, employer, solicitor or other organisation. The exact requirements depend on the receiving organisation and purpose of the submission.
We work with Spanish documents issued in Spain and across Spanish-speaking Latin America, paying particular attention to names, dates, civil-record terminology and locally used administrative wording.
We also handle English to Spanish translation. For submissions in Spain or another country, confirm whether the receiving organisation requires a sworn, notarised or other specially authorised translation.

What is included
What Your Certified Spanish Translation Includes
For a standard certified translation, the translated document is accompanied by a certification statement that identifies the translation and confirms its accuracy. The final pack is prepared according to the service agreed for the receiving organisation.
Where required and applicable, the certification can include an authorised signature, date, identifying details and the agency's certification information. We confirm any different legal or institutional requirements before starting.
Digital PDF delivery is available, with physical copies on request. A separate sworn translation, notarisation or legalisation process may be necessary in some cases and should not be confused with standard UK certification.
Language direction
Spanish to English and English to Spanish Translation
The destination of your document determines which language and certification format to request.
Commonly requested for Spanish-language documents being used with UK organisations, including immigration, university admissions, employment and legal matters.
Translation for Spanish-speaking organisations and individuals. Check whether the authority needs a translator authorised in its jurisdiction or a sworn translation.

Urgent Spanish translation
Need Spanish Certified Translation Quickly?
Many short and clearly scanned documents can be assessed for priority or next-day delivery. Turnaround depends on file length, language direction, formatting, certification requirements and the availability of the appropriate translator.
For a tight deadline, upload the complete document and provide the exact date and time you need it. We will confirm whether an urgent slot is suitable before work starts. Postal delivery time is separate from the translation turnaround.
Choose the correct certification
Certified, Sworn or Notarised Spanish Translation?
Different organisations use these terms differently. The safest approach is to follow the receiving authority's written instructions.
Certified Translation
A translated document accompanied by a signed accuracy statement. Often requested for UK administrative, education and other formal uses.
Sworn Translation
Some submissions in Spain require a sworn translator authorised under the relevant rules. This is not automatically the same as a standard UK-certified translation.
Notarisation or Legalisation
Some institutions request extra authentication, such as notarisation or an apostille. These are separate steps and must be confirmed for the specific document.

Frequently asked questions
Spanish Certified Translation FAQs
Do I need a certified translation for Spanish documents in the UK?
Many organisations request certified translations when a Spanish document is used as official evidence. The precise requirement varies, so share the submission instructions if you have them.
Can you provide Spanish to English certified translation?
Yes. Spanish to English is a common request for UK submissions. We can also assess English to Spanish work, with the certification route depending on where the translated document will be used.
Can you translate documents issued in Latin America?
Yes. We can assess documents issued in Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin America, including local administrative and civil-registry terminology. Please supply a complete, readable copy.
What does a certified Spanish translation include?
The agreed translated content and a certification statement confirming its accuracy, with signing details and any other agreed elements appropriate to the submission. Additional notarisation, sworn translation or legalisation is separate where needed.
Can I send a phone photo rather than a scanned PDF?
A clear photo can often be used for quotation and translation, provided all edges, writing, seals and annotations are readable. We may request a clearer copy if any part is missing or blurred.
Do you offer next-day Spanish certified translation?
Priority and next-day options can be considered for suitable documents. Availability and the final delivery window are confirmed after reviewing the file and language requirements.
How much does Spanish certified translation cost?
The quote depends on the file's length, complexity, language direction, certification format and deadline. Upload the document to receive a confirmed price rather than relying on a general estimate.
Can I request a hard copy?
Physical copies may be available on request. Allow for printing and postal transit, which are separate from the translation preparation timeframe.
