Sworn Translation of a University Degree
When you are required to present a qualification outside of Spain, or to a Spanish body that requires documentation in a different language, translating its content is not enough. In most cases, you need a sworn translation of a university degree carried out by a certified sworn translator. The objective is not to just “understand” the qualification, but to officially certify it so that your document can proceed without formal defects.
At Translinguo Global, translation agency, we review the document, determine whether it requires an apostille or legislation, confirm the source format and prepare the official translation of your university degree.
What is a sworn translation of a university degree?
A sworn translation of a university degree is a translation certified by an officially recognised sworn translator. Through their stamp and signature, the professional certifies the completeness and accuracy of the translation in relation to the original document. This certification makes this translation a formally valid document before universities, ministries and other bodies.
Sworn translations are distinct from regular translations in that they include a declaration of the document’s accuracy, a stamp, a signature and, depending on the case, a mark for copies or mention of annexes. In practice, this means that if you are required to provide a certified translation of a university degree, the administration won’t accept a translation made by you, a family member or a non-sworn translator. A sworn translator is essential for official procedures.

Sworn Translation of a University Degree (FAQs)
What documents are usually required with a university degree?
In many cases, translating the diploma alone is not enough. The university, ministry or professional school could also request additional documentation which would be used to verify the course load, subjects taken or academic equivalence. Therefore, it is common to translate a full set of documents rather than the diploma alone.
The documents that are usually required alongside a sworn translation of a university degree are:
academic certificate or academic record
European Diploma Supplement
transcript
programme of study
course programme
internship or specialisation certificate
in some cases, a national ID or passport to verify identity through documentation.
Coherence is the key. If the name of the degree, the holder’s name or the dates do not match, the authority may seek further clarification. That’s why we review all the documents alongside the university degree, to ensure that there’s uniformity in the information before translation begins.
Is a sworn translation of a university degree accepted by universities and ministries?
Yes, as long as it is translated by a certified sworn translator, and it complies with the format required by the receiving authority. Even so, it is still recommended to check whether they require an apostille, legalisation of paper delivery.
What is the difference between a sworn translation and a regular translation?
A regular translation is used for informational understanding, but it doesn’t have formal validity. The official translation of a university degree includes the certification, signature and stamp of a sworn translator, and that is why it is generally accepted by administrations.
Is a scanned copy suitable for translation?
Usually, yes, provided that the scan is complete, legible, and includes stamps and signatures. Afterwards, depending on the administration, delivery may be made in digital form with a signature, in paper format, or both.
What happens if my name doesn't match my passport exactly?
It needs to be reviewed before translation. If there are differences in order, accents, double surnames or transliteration, it is advisable to detect it to avoid issues in the file. The translation will reflect what appears in the original document, but we can guide you on how to present it.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the language, number of pages and urgency. In many cases, we can offer fast turnaround times, and we will confirm the delivery date before we begin. If you need it urgently, let us know when requesting a quote.
