The increasing globalisation of business has put sworn English translation services in higher demand than ever. Moreover, Spanish legislation supports its necessity. Any official documents written in English require a sworn English translation to be legally valid in the country.
What Is a Sworn English Translator?
A sworn English translator is a translator that translates texts from English into Spanish and is accredited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation (MAEUEC). This ministry provides the translator a stamp with which to certify their sworn translations, making them valid in Spain and abroad.
What Is a Sworn English Translation?
A sworn English translation is an official translation that has:
- The stamp and signature of the sworn English translator.
- The certificate at the end of the document that validates the translation.
This process makes the translated document legally valid, allowing it to be submitted to any official institution.
How Much Does a Sworn English Translation Cost?
The price is determined per word, but it depends on the language combination and the type of document.
It also depends on the deadline, the type of text, its length and its complexity. Keep in mind that, even for very short sworn translations, there is a minimum price per document.

In What Languages Can I Get a Sworn Translation?
We offer sworn translations by sworn translators registered in Spain in a variety of official languages.
If you need a sworn translation done from or into a non-official language, we will do a sworn cross-translation. First, we translate your document into Spanish, and then we do another sworn translation from Spanish into the target language.
This method allows us to manage many more languages beyond the official languages of the country in which the translator is registered.
What Are Legalisation and Apostilles?
The legalisation of foreign documents written in English makes these documents legally valid in Spain. The apostille simplifies this procedure with a stamp and a signature on the document; however, the apostille is only valid in countries that are party to the Apostille Convention.
The legalisation of foreign documents written in English, except where legislation exists to the contrary, is done via:
- The apostille, for countries party to the Convention.
- A different legalisation route, for countries not party to the Convention.
