It is the only way for your documentation to be accepted. This figure converts your translation into something equivalent to your original document. Or in other words, an official English translator is the only existing authority that can certify translations so that they have full legal validity. If it is translated by any other person who is not authorized, let’s say they could be making up the content, which is why agencies reject translations that are not done by a sworn translator-interpreter of English like us.
What are the advantages of hiring a sworn English translator?
With a professional and accredited sworn English translator like us, you can rest assured that your procedures will not suffer setbacks: our translations have the required quality, will be delivered on time and will be issued 100% officially. It is true that the cost is higher than that of a translator who is not sworn, but with a sworn translator you can be clear that your procedures will end successfully.
What is the difference between a sworn translator and a non-sworn one?
A translator who is not sworn does not convey officiality in their translations. They can be of great quality and provide impeccable service, but only a sworn translator can sign, stamp and certify their sworn translations giving them full legal validity. A sworn translator is the closest thing to a notary that exists, in the sense that they attest that their translations are exact to the original document.

What is the Hague Apostille and when do I need it?
The Hague Apostille is what countries adhering to the Hague Convention use to legalize documents that are going to be submitted in another country. Example: England and Spain are adhered to said convention, therefore, documentation from England must carry the Hague Apostille BEFORE translating them and submitting them in Spain. However, it is not always necessary, check first. Be careful, in addition to apostilling the documents you can also apostille the translations, but this is much less common. It is only necessary to apostille translations for some procedures abroad and only in certain countries; we cannot list them because it is something that must be expressly requested. In the case of sworn English translations that are going to be submitted in Spain, it is NEVER necessary to apostille the translations made here.
Can I request the service from outside Spain?
