How the referral workflow works
Partners can refer clients in whichever way fits their workflow best. There are two common options:
Option A — Introduce the client directly
You copy Alba into an email or send her the client’s contact. Alba takes it from there — explains the process, collects the files, delivers the translation, and invoices the client directly. You stay informed without carrying the admin load.
Option B — Coordinate the file yourself
You gather the documents from your client and send them to Alba directly. She confirms the page count and cost, completes the translation, and delivers it to you. You decide how to handle invoicing with your client. This works well for law firms and gestorías that prefer to manage the full client relationship.
Send the file or make the introduction
Email or WhatsApp the documents, or copy Alba into your client introduction. Include a note on the intended Spanish procedure so she has context.
Fast page count and price confirmed
Alba reviews the file and confirms the page count and total cost before starting. Fixed pricing means no surprises for you or your client.
Translation completed personally by Alba
No handoffs, no third-party translators, no agency queue. The same person handling your client’s file is the sworn translator signing it.
Delivery as a digitally signed PDF
The completed sworn translation is delivered as a digitally signed and stamped PDF accepted for official use in Spain — by consulates, immigration offices, civil registries, notaries, and universities.
Pay after delivery
The client pays after receiving the translation. For partners who prefer to consolidate invoicing, billing can be discussed on a per-file or batch basis.
Pricing for partner referrals
Pricing is fixed per page and the same for everyone — no agency markups, no negotiated rates, no hidden fees. Fixed pricing is one of the reasons partners find it straightforward to refer clients: you can tell them the rate upfront with confidence.
Standard
€37 per page
Typical turnaround: 24–72 hours
Rush
€55 per page
12-hour turnaround
EU residents pay 21% IVA. For full details: Pricing & Process →
No referral commission required
There is no commission arrangement in place. Partners refer clients because the service genuinely works for their clients — not because of a financial incentive built in on the back end.
If a formal referral or revenue-share structure becomes relevant in the future, that would be set up properly and reviewed at that point. For now, the relationship is straightforward: you refer, Alba handles the translation, your client gets a dependable result.
The value for partners is practical: you can send clients to a translator you trust, know the pricing in advance, and not worry about the translation step creating friction or delays in a file you are managing.
How to reach Alba as a partner
For partners, the fastest ways to get in touch are directly by email or WhatsApp. Both go to Alba personally — not a support inbox or assistant.
Best for sending documents, introducing clients, or discussing a specific file.
When you reach out, it helps to mention: the type of document, the language it is in, the procedure or Spanish authority it is intended for, and whether timing is tight. Alba will respond quickly with a confirmed page count and price.

Frequently asked questions from partners
Do you charge referral commissions?
No. There is no referral commission or fee arrangement. Partners refer clients because the service genuinely works well for them — not because of a financial incentive. If a formal referral structure becomes relevant in the future, it would be set up properly and reviewed at that point. For now, the relationship is straightforward: you refer, Alba handles the translation, your client gets a dependable result.
Can you work directly with our client?
Yes. If you prefer to introduce the client and step back, Alba can communicate directly with them, keep things professional, and invoice the client directly. If you prefer to coordinate the file flow yourself, that works equally well.
Can we send files on behalf of the client?
Yes. Law firms, gestorías, and relocation consultants often prefer to gather the documents themselves and send the full package to Alba. She confirms the page count, completes the translation, and delivers it to whoever needs it.
Do you handle urgent files?
Yes. A 12-hour rush service is available at €55 per page. For partner files with a tight deadline, it helps to mention the deadline upfront so Alba can confirm feasibility before starting. Rush availability depends on current workload and document length.
What is the pricing for partner referrals?
Pricing is the same fixed per-page rate for everyone: €37 per page standard, €55 per page for 12-hour rush. There are no agency markups or special rates. Fixed pricing makes it easy for partners to set accurate client expectations before the file even arrives.
How do clients pay?
Clients pay after delivery. Payment options include credit card, bank transfer, Wise, and Zelle. For partners who prefer to handle invoicing on the client’s behalf, that can be discussed case by case.
What languages do you translate from?
The primary language pair is English to Spanish. French, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, Galician, and several other languages are also handled. Mention the source language when you reach out and Alba will confirm.
Are digitally signed translations accepted by Spanish courts, notaries, and consulates?
Yes. Digitally signed sworn translations prepared by a MAEC-appointed translator are accepted for official use in Spain, including by Spanish courts, notaries, civil registries, immigration offices, consulates, and universities. The BOE now expressly regulates electronic certification for sworn translators and confirms it can substitute the handwritten signature and physical seal.
