What is a sworn translation of a birth certificate?
A sworn translation is the translated version of your document signed, stamped and certified by a qualified sworn translator, which gives it legal validity before public administrations, courts, universities and consular bodies.
Unlike a simple translation, a sworn or official translation provides a formal statement of accuracy and the identification of the translator/company responsible. We advise you so that your certified birth sworn translation meets the exact requirements of the receiving administration.
When do I need a translated birth certificate?
An official translation of your birth certificate will be required when the document is to be used in another language or country. This is common in immigration, civil and academic proceedings. You will also need it if a bank, insurance company or health authority requests standardised documentary evidence in their working language.
- Civil marriage, registration of partnership or conversion of matrimonial property regime.
- Obtaining nationality, residency or visas (study, work, family reunification).
- Academic validations and enrolments (colleges/universities).
- Procedures before civil registries, consulates, and embassies.
- International adoptions, inheritances, and legal proceedings.

Translate Birth Certificate (FAQs)
What is the difference between a sworn translation and a certified translation for a birth certificate?
In Spain, sworn translations are signed and stamped by a sworn translator, giving the document legal validity before civil registries and government agencies. Sworn translations are used in Anglo-Saxon countries and usually include a statement of accuracy signed by the translator or the company. We will tell you which one your organisation requires in order to translate your birth certificate without any issues.
How long does it take and how much does it cost to translate a birth certificate?
For common combinations (Spanish–English/French), the usual turnaround time is 24–72 hours, with a same-day rush option available depending on availability. The price depends on the language, the destination country and whether legalisation or hard copies are required. We will give you a fixed quote and delivery date before starting your official translation.
Do I need the Hague Apostille before or after the translation?
It is advisable to obtain the apostille before the translation so that the apostille stamp is also reflected on the translated birth certificate . If you have already translated the document and are then asked for an apostille, we will assess whether an addendum is sufficient or whether it is advisable to issue a new sworn translation. We will advise you according to the country and the receiving authority.
Do I need the Hague Apostille before or after the translation?
Each organisation defines the format. Many accept digitally signed PDFs; others require a printed original with the stamp and handwritten signature of the sworn translator. We can deliver both formats. Tell us which organisation you are dealing with and we will adapt the official translation to meet their exact requirements.
How should I send the document for certified birth certificate translation?
A legible scan at 300 dpi (all sides, stamps and marginal notes) is sufficient. Avoid photos with shadows or cuts, and check that names and dates match other documents. If the administration requests a recent literal copy, request a new one from the registry before translating the birth certificate to avoid incidents.
Is my translated birth certificate valid in several countries?
It depends. A Spanish sworn translation is usually valid in Spain and for certain EU procedures, but other countries may require a local certified translation or additional notarisation. Tell us your intended destinations and we will let you know if your current official translation is valid or if it is advisable to issue versions adapted to each jurisdiction.
