Alba is a fantastic sworn translator. She's fast, affordable, and professional, but more importantly, she is a wonderful person to work with. She gave me great advice for my visa process and made a stressful task feel easy. Thank you so much for going the extra mile!

Alba provided a sworn translation for my apostilled FBI background check for my visa application. I could not believe how responsive she was and how quickly she returned the translated pages. Very affordable compared to other sworn translator sites I found.

Alba did a great job, was efficient and very responsive. I was surprised how quickly she responded even when I needed a new translation last minute. In addition, her guides and information were very helpful which you may not find at other translation services.

We've gone to Alba for all our official translations for NALCAP and student visa documents, and she's always been super nice, exceedingly competent, and really fast. Would recommend her to anyone!

A More Personal Service

This is not a high-volume translation agency. Alba personally handles each translation and understands firsthand how stressful Spanish administrative processes can feel. The goal is not only to deliver an official translation, but to make the process clearer, smoother, and easier to trust.

Your documents are safe with me

When you send sensitive documents such as medical records, background checks, birth certificates, marriage certificates, and financial records, they come directly to me. They are stored in a secure private folder that is not shared with anyone else and used only to prepare and deliver your sworn translation.

Unlike multi-step agency workflows, your documents are not passed around between departments, outsourced translators, or third parties.

Common Questions

Is certified translation the same as sworn translation for Spain?

Not exactly. “Certified translation” is a general term used in English-speaking countries like the US and Canada. In Spain, the official format required for visas and administrative procedures is a sworn translation carried out by a translator officially appointed by Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The two terms are not interchangeable in the Spanish context. Learn more →

Do Spanish consulates require sworn translation?

Yes. Spanish consulates generally require a sworn translation prepared by a translator officially appointed in Spain for foreign documents submitted with visa and residency applications. If your consulate checklist says “official translation,” a sworn translation is what is meant.

Can I send scanned files to get started?

Yes. In most cases, clear scanned copies or digital PDFs are all you need. Physical originals are not usually required. You receive your sworn translation as a digitally signed and stamped PDF, and you pay after delivery.

Are digitally signed sworn translations accepted in Spain?

Yes. Digitally signed and stamped sworn translations are accepted for official use by Spanish administrations, consulates, and agencies. You do not need a paper original in most cases.
