How much does a sworn translation cost in Spain?<\/h2>\n

The cost varies depending on the type of document, the length of it, and the original language thereof. Civil certificates (birth, marriage, death) tend to have set prices because their content is short and repetitive, whereas academic, notarial, or legal documents are calculated per word if they are more than one page long.<\/p>\n

Birth certificates feature a format which most translators know by heart, an academic record or a sentence include legal terminology and formulae which require further verification. The table below shows the approxiamate prices and timeframes in English, French and German. Less common languages tend to sit at the top end of these price ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

How much does a sworn translation cost per page?<\/h3>\n

There is no single, official rate, the sector became free years ago and so every sworn translator<\/strong> sets their fees as they see fit. For reference, however, some professional colleges publish approximate rates for their legal and sworn translations<\/a>, which average around 0.20\u20ac per word plus VAT, with a minimum of around 100\u20acplus VAT – this is helpful for comparison purposes, and to help detect quotes which may be abnormally low, but not to use as a fixed price for every company.<\/p>\n

What factors influence the price per page of a sworn translation?<\/h2>\n

A translation company’s quote doesn’t depend solely on the word count of a document, it is also affected by the availability of translators for the pertinent languages, the difficulty of the terminology, and the format of the original document. Before asking for a price its worth checking precisely which documents need a sworn translation<\/a> for your individual needs, because they’ll each have a different impact on the price.<\/p>\n

The following helps to explain why two documents of a similar length may have different prices.<\/p>\n
