Certified by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
A sworn translator, or "traductor jurado," is certified by Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC). This certification allows them to provide official translations that hold legal validity.
What Do Sworn Translators Translate?
Sworn translators handle documents such as:
Birth, marriage, and death certificates.
Academic diplomas and transcripts.
Contracts, court rulings, and legal documents.
What Sets Sworn Translators Apart?
What Sets Sworn Translators Apart?
Legal Recognition
Sworn translations are stamped, signed, and accompanied by a certificate of accuracy, making them legally binding. Regular translations lack this legal weight.
Specialized Expertise
Sworn translators are well-versed in legal, administrative, and technical terminology, ensuring accuracy and compliance with Spanish regulations.
For Official Use Only
Sworn translations are mandatory for documents submitted to government agencies, universities, and courts in Spain.

Everyday Needs
Regular translators are ideal for translating content like:
Websites and marketing materials.
Literature, blogs, and general correspondence.
No Legal Requirements
If the translation doesn’t need to be certified or submitted to official entities, a regular translator can handle the job effectively.
