Spanish to English certified translation
One pair, done all day: Spanish civil registry, university and ministry papers turned into English a UK caseworker can read without querying. £39.95 a document, back within 24 hours.
Photograph it, pick the certification, pay. Nothing else to fill in.
- Rejected on a certification point? We redo it free, then refund you.
- A real translator signs it — name and CIOL/ITI number printed on the page.
- In your inbox tomorrow, usually sooner.
- Your university can check it's genuine in about ten seconds.
- Files encrypted, never used to train anything, deleted after six months.
You don't pay for it twice.
Tell us at checkout who's receiving it. If they refuse it over the certification itself, we redo it free — and if the second attempt still doesn't land, you get every penny back.
The documents, by their Spanish names.
- Partida / certificado de nacimientoLiteral or extracto, with tomo, página and the Registro Civil that issued it kept intact.
- Certificado de matrimonioMarginal notes about divorce or name changes translated, not skipped — UKVI reads them.
- Título universitarioAward title left in Spanish with an English gloss, RNT number carried across.
- Expediente académicoCréditos ECTS, 0–10 marks and named bands reproduced, never converted.
- Certificado de antecedentes penalesMinisterio de Justicia wording and the CSV verification code kept verbatim.
- DNI / NIE / pasaporteBoth surnames, accents and the support number exactly as printed.
Four things we never quietly change
- Your award title
- “Graduado en Ingeniería Mecánica” stays in Spanish with an English gloss beside it. Calling it a BEng is an equivalence judgement that belongs to UK ENIC, not a translator.
- Your marks
- A 8,5 — Notable is written as 8.5 out of 10, Notable, with a plain-English note on the band. No percentages, no 2:1.
- Your name
- Two surnames, tildes and particles reproduced as printed on the DNI. A caseworker comparing your passport to your partida sees the same string twice.
- Spanish institution names
- The Registro Civil is not “the register office”. Institutions keep their Spanish name with an English explanation, so the reader can contact them if they want to.
Spain has traductores jurados. The UK doesn’t.
If you asked a gestoría in Madrid, they told you to find a traductor jurado appointed by the Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores. That system stops at the Spanish border. There is no UK equivalent and no UK register of sworn translators, which is why a jurada stamp is not what a British university or the Home Office is looking for.
What they want is a certified translation: the whole document in English, a signed statement that it is accurate, the date, and a translator who can be identified and contacted. That is what we issue — signed by a translator on the CIOL or ITI register, with a reference anyone can check on this site.
Questions about Spanish documents
Do you cover Latin American documents, not just Spain?
Yes — Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Venezuela and the rest. A Mexican acta de nacimiento from the Registro Civil and a Colombian registro civil de nacimiento are structured differently from a Spanish partida, so regional wording and institution names are kept and explained rather than swapped for Spanish equivalents.
Can you do English into Spanish?
Our certified work runs Spanish into English, which is the direction UK institutions ask for. If a Spanish authority needs the reverse, they will usually insist on a traductor jurado in Spain — email us and we will tell you straight whether we can help or point you at someone who can.
My partida is handwritten and the stamp is faded. Is that a problem?
No. Older Registro Civil entries are often handwritten. Legible handwriting is translated; anything genuinely unreadable is marked as illegible rather than guessed. A translation that invents a reading of a faded seal is the one that gets sent back.
Do I need an apostille as well?
Sometimes, and it is separate from translation. An apostille from the Spanish authorities authenticates the original document; we translate whatever you send, apostille included, so the English version shows the same page the receiver is checking.
