English to Spanish Sworn Translations for Spain: Get Your Official Documents Certified
Preparing for a new chapter in Spain? Whether it’s for a visa application, residency, buying property, or any other official process, you’ll inevitably encounter a crucial requirement: sworn translations. If your official documents are in English, they must be translated into Spanish by a sworn translator certified by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC) to be legally valid in Spain.
ExpressNIE provides fast, certified, and 100% remote English to Spanish sworn translation services, ensuring your documents are perfectly prepared for Spanish authorities.
Why a Sworn English to Spanish Translation is Essential for Spain:
When submitting any official document to Spanish governmental, legal, or educational institutions, a standard translation from English is not sufficient. Spanish authorities strictly require a “Traducción Jurada” – a sworn translation – for legal validity.



What is a Sworn Translation (Traducción Jurada)?
A sworn translation (“Traducción Jurada” in Spanish) is a legal translation performed exclusively by a sworn translator officially appointed and recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Unlike regular translations, a sworn translation includes a formal declaration, the translator’s unique seal, and their signature on every page, certifying that the translation is a true, faithful, and complete rendition of the original document. This legal certification is what makes the document officially valid and binding in Spain.
