Sworn Translation for the Civil Registry. When you need to submit official documents to the Civil Registry in Spain, it is essential that your translations carry full legal validity. In such cases, a standard translation is not enough: it is essential to have a Sworn Translator recognized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC).
At Translinguo Global, we provide professional Sworn Translation services for the Civil Registry, carried out exclusively by MAEC-authorized Sworn Translators and Official Interpreters. This ensures your documents are accepted without delay or issue by the Spanish authorities.
What is a Sworn Translation for the Civil Registry?
A sworn translation is an official translation that includes the signature, seal, and certification of a sworn translator accredited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union, and Cooperation (MAEC).
This type of translation certifies that the content of the translated document is a true and complete representation of the original. This grants it full legal validity before official bodies, such as:
- Civil Registry
- Notary Offices
- Courts
- Ministries
- Universities
- Consulates
Sworn translations typically include:
- The sworn translator’s signature
- Official seal
- Statement of accuracy of the translation
- Copy of the original document
Without this certification, the Civil Registry will not accept the translation.
