What the service includes

A complete translation of your Spanish document

A certified Spanish translation reproduces the meaningful content of your source document in English or Spanish and is accompanied by certification information when the receiving organisation requires it.

The translated document can include names, dates, registration details, references, stamps, seals, signatures and legible handwritten annotations appearing on the source.

Tell us where the document will be submitted before work begins. This helps distinguish a standard UK certified translation from services such as notarised, apostille-related or Spanish sworn translation.

UK visa and immigration documents

Spanish translations for UKVI and Home Office submissions

When a Spanish-language document forms part of a UK visa, immigration or related application, a full English translation may need to be supplied alongside the original document.

The relevant certification can include confirmation that the translation is accurate, the translation date, identifying and signature information and contact details.

  • Translate the complete document.
  • Keep names and dates consistent with official records.
  • Include relevant stamps, seals and annotations.
  • Provide the required certification information.
  • Check the instructions for your specific application route.
The organisation receiving the document makes the final decision about the translation format it requires. Share its written instructions when ordering if they specify certification, notarisation, legalisation or a sworn translator.

Common questions

Spanish translation FAQs

Answers about certification, language direction, documents, turnaround, delivery and Spanish sworn translation.

What is a certified Spanish translation?

It is a Spanish-to-English or English-to-Spanish translation accompanied by certification information confirming its relationship to the original document.

Do you translate Spanish to English and English to Spanish?

Yes. Both directions are available for personal, immigration, legal, academic, medical, business and other professional documents.

Which Spanish documents can be translated?

Common documents include birth and marriage certificates, passports, ID documents, police certificates, degrees, transcripts, contracts, court papers, medical records and business documents.

Can a Spanish translation be prepared for UKVI?

Spanish documents can be translated into English for UK visa and immigration submissions. Provide the specific application requirements so the appropriate certification route can be checked before work begins.

Is UK certified translation the same as Spanish sworn translation?

Not necessarily. Spain and some other jurisdictions operate formal sworn-translator systems. The correct format depends on the organisation and country receiving the document.

How long does Spanish certified translation take?

Standard turnaround is usually two to three working days for suitable shorter documents. Faster options may be available after the complete file and deadline have been reviewed.

Do I need to send the original Spanish document?

In many cases a clear scan, PDF or readable photograph is enough to review and translate the document. Physical originals may be relevant where a particular notarisation, legalisation or authority procedure requires them.

Can stamps, seals and handwritten notes be included?

Relevant visible stamps, seals, signatures and handwritten annotations can be represented where they are sufficiently clear and legible.

Can I receive a printed certified translation?

Yes. A certified digital PDF can be supplied electronically and a printed hard copy can be arranged when the receiving organisation requires one.

How much does Spanish certified translation cost?

Published certified translation pricing starts from £29.99 per eligible page. The final amount depends on the document, language direction, complexity, formatting, certification and required turnaround.
