Why us for Certified & Sworn Translation
-
Every sworn order is signed and stamped by a translator individually appointed by Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs — the signature Spanish authorities, consulates and universities recognise as sworn.
-
A second linguist checks the translation against your source before it reaches the sworn translator's desk — nothing is stamped half-finished.
-
Delivered the way your receiving authority actually asks for it: digitally signed PDF, certified hard copy, or both.

What's the difference between "certified" and "sworn" translation?
In Spain, "sworn" (jurada) means stamped and signed by a translator individually appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — it's the only kind of translation Spanish authorities treat as officially valid on its own. "Certified" is used loosely across the market; on this site, when we say sworn, we mean the full jurada mechanism.
Will my apostille be affected by translation?
No. We translate the document and the apostille's wording; the apostille itself is neither altered nor removed.
Can I get a same-day sworn translation?
Often, for short certificates under 300 words. Tell us your deadline when you order and we'll confirm before any urgent surcharge applies.
Do you deliver a physical stamped copy, or just a PDF?
Both, by choice. Most authorities now accept a digitally signed PDF; if yours specifically requires a wet-stamped hard copy, choose postal delivery or collect it from our Campanar office.
