Why Our Barcelona Connection Makes the Difference
Most UK translation companies work remotely with Spanish documents, treating them like any other language pair. We are different. Our Barcelona office gives us direct insight into how Spanish documents are issued, what terminology means in context, and how to handle complex regional variations across Spain and Latin America.
Our translators do not just translate words - they understand the Spanish registro civil system, the structure of Spanish university transcripts (expedientes académicos), the legal weight of notarial deeds (escrituras), and the specific requirements of documents from autonomous communities like Catalonia, Basque Country, Galicia, and others.
This expertise extends to Latin American documents. We regularly translate Mexican actas de nacimiento, Colombian cédulas, Argentine DNI documents, and Chilean certificates, understanding the distinct formats, terminology, and legal frameworks of each country. Where other translators might puzzle over regional variations, our team recognises them immediately.

Spanish Documents We Translate with Expertise
Spanish Civil Documents
Birth certificates (certificado de nacimiento, partida de nacimiento), marriage certificates (certificado de matrimonio, acta matrimonial), death certificates, divorce decrees (sentencia de divorcio), civil partnership certificates (pareja de hecho), family books (libro de familia - a uniquely Spanish document), and civil registry extracts (certificado del Registro Civil).
Spanish Educational Documents
University degrees (título universitario), diplomas, academic transcripts (expediente académico, certificación académica), secondary school certificates (título de Bachiller, título de ESO), homologación certificates, professional qualifications, and letters of recommendation. We understand the Spanish education system thoroughly, from ESO and Bachillerato through to university degrees and official postgraduate qualifications (másteres oficiales).
Spanish Legal Documents
Powers of attorney (poder notarial), notarial deeds (escrituras públicas), court judgments (sentencias), police clearance certificates (certificado de antecedentes penales), DNI and NIE documents, property titles (escritura de compraventa), wills (testamentos), and company registration documents.
Spanish Employment Documents
Employment contracts (contratos laborales), reference letters (cartas de recomendación), salary certificates (certificados de empresa), social security documents (certificados de vida laboral), professional registration certificates (colegiación), and CVs adapted for UK format.
Latin American Documents
We translate documents from all Spanish-speaking countries, with particular expertise in Mexican, Colombian, Argentine, Chilean, Peruvian, and Venezuelan documentation. Our translators understand that a Colombian cédula is not the same as a Spanish DNI, that Mexican apostilles differ from Spanish ones, and that educational systems vary significantly across Latin America.

Our Certification Process - Spanish Expertise Meets UK Standards
Our certified translations follow the standards established by UK professional translation bodies (ATC, CIOL, ITI) while applying deep knowledge of Spanish source documents.
Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, book designer, "methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve, have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books, these rules have to be brought back to life and applied."
Each translation includes a formal certificate on company letterhead confirming the translator's qualifications and competence to translate from Spanish into English. The certificate states that the English translation is, to the best of professional knowledge, a true and accurate representation of the Spanish original.
The certification package follows UK authority requirements: certificate at the front, copy of the original Spanish document in the middle, and the English translation at the back. Each page bears our company stamp. This format is accepted by UKVI, the Home Office, UK courts, universities, and all UK public authorities.
Unlike translation companies that treat all languages generically, we apply specific knowledge to Spanish translation challenges. We know when "certificado literal" means a full extract requiring different translation treatment than a simple certificate. We understand that Spanish dates can be written in multiple formats. We recognise official stamps and seals from Spanish autonomous communities and Latin American countries.

UKVI Requirements for Spanish Document Translations
UK Visas and Immigration requires all Spanish-language documents to be accompanied by a full certified English translation. This applies even when parts of the original document contain English text - a common source of confusion for applicants.
The translation must include: confirmation that the translation is accurate, the date of translation, the translator's full name and signature, and the translator's contact details. The translator must confirm their competence to translate from Spanish into English.
UKVI does not mandate professional body membership, but using qualified translators or accredited translation companies provides assurance of quality. Our Barcelona-based expertise combined with UK registration gives your translations maximum credibility with visa officers who understand that accurate translation of Spanish documents requires genuine expertise, not just language skills.
We have extensive experience with Spanish document translations for UK visa applications, including family visas, spouse visas, skilled worker visas, student visas, and settlement applications. We know what UKVI visa officers expect and how to present Spanish documents in formats that meet UK administrative standards.

Understanding Spanish Regional Variations
Spain is not linguistically uniform, and neither are its documents. Our Barcelona location means we work daily with documents from bilingual regions.
We translate documents that contain Catalan, Basque (Euskera), or Galician alongside Spanish, understanding the legal status of co-official languages in Spain.
We translate documents that contain Catalan, Basque (Euskera), or Galician alongside Spanish, understanding the legal status of co-official languages in Spain.
We know that a Catalan birth certificate from Barcelona may have entries in both Catalan and Spanish.
We understand that Basque Country documents might reference "Eusko Jaurlaritza" (Basque Government). We recognise Galician administrative terminology. This regional expertise sets us apart from translation companies working purely from London without direct Spanish experience.
For Latin American documents, we understand that Mexican Spanish differs from Argentine Spanish, that Colombian documents follow different formats than Chilean ones, and that educational credentials vary significantly between countries. A Mexican preparatoria certificate is not the same as an Argentine bachillerato, even though both might translate as "secondary school certificate" in English.

Apostille and Legalisation Guidance for Spanish Documents
Many clients ask whether Spanish documents need apostille before translation. Spain is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, and the general principle is: obtain apostille in Spain for the original document, then translate it in the UK (the country where it will be used).
Spanish apostilles are issued by the Ministerio de Justicia or regional High Courts (Tribunales Superiores de Justicia). Our Barcelona office can provide guidance on obtaining apostille in Spain if you are still in the country. For clients already in the UK, we can advise on apostille requirements for your specific document type and intended use.
The apostille authenticates the original Spanish document. Our certified translation then authenticates the English version. Together, they provide the full chain of authentication that UK authorities require.

Frequently Asked Questions - Spanish Translation
- Сlient:Why does Barcelona expertise matter for UK translations?Support:Accurate translation requires understanding the source document, not just the language. Our Barcelona office means we work daily with Spanish civil registry documents, legal papers, and educational credentials. We know how Spanish administrative systems work, what terminology means in context, and how to handle regional variations. This expertise ensures accuracy that generic translation companies cannot match.
Yes. Our Barcelona location means we regularly work with Catalan-Spanish bilingual documents. We translate documents that contain Catalan alongside Spanish, understanding the legal status of co-official languages and how to present them for UK authorities.
Yes. UKVI requires full translation of all passport pages, including the personal data page, all pages with stamps or visas, and blank pages if the passport will be photocopied in full. Even though Spanish passports contain some English text, a complete certified translation is required.
Standard service is 2-3 working days. Express same-day service is available for single-page documents like birth certificates when ordered before midday. Next-day service is available for longer documents. Contact us for urgent visa deadline requirements.
Absolutely. UK authorities require that translations meet specific standards (certificate of accuracy, translator qualifications, company stamp). Our translations fully comply with UKVI and Home Office requirements. Our Barcelona connection is an advantage - it means our translators have genuine expertise in Spanish documents, which increases accuracy and credibility.
Yes and no. The certification process follows the same UK standards, but the translation requires knowledge of each country's document formats and terminology. A Mexican birth certificate (acta de nacimiento) has different format and terminology than a Spanish birth certificate. Our translators understand these variations and translate accordingly.
Generally, yes. If a Spanish document will be used officially in the UK, the recommended process is: obtain apostille in Spain (from the Ministerio de Justicia or regional High Court), then have it translated in the UK by a qualified translator. The apostille authenticates the Spanish document; the certification authenticates the translation.
The libro de familia is a uniquely Spanish document issued to families, recording marriages, births, and family composition. Many UK authorities are unfamiliar with it. We translate the libro de familia completely, including all entries, and provide explanatory notes to help UK visa officers understand its official status in Spain.
Yes. Our Barcelona expertise is particularly valuable for Spanish educational documents. We understand the Spanish university system (grado, máster oficial, doctorado), credit systems (ECTS), grading scales, and how to present Spanish academic credentials for UK university admissions. We regularly translate expedientes académicos for UCAS and postgraduate applications.
Pricing depends on document type and length. Single-page civil documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates) typically cost £35-£50 for standard service. Passports are typically £40-£50. Multi-page documents like university transcripts are priced per page, usually £15-£20 per page. Express same-day service incurs additional fees. Contact us for a specific quote.
Most UK translation companies outsource Spanish translation to freelancers working remotely. We have a translation office in Barcelona staffed by translators who live and work with Spanish documents daily. This gives us expertise in Spanish civil administration, legal terminology, regional variations, and cultural context that remote translators cannot match. Combined with our UK registration and UKVI compliance expertise, we offer the best of both worlds.
