Sworn translation in Spain

Who signs it: traductor/a-intérprete jurado/a

Appointed by: Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores (Oficina de Interpretación de Lenguas)

In Spain, the sworn translation is signed by a sworn translator-interpreter (traductor/a-intérprete jurado/a) appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wherever they live. Since March 2025 they can sign it with a qualified electronic certificate (Order AUC/213/2025). For civil-status records from another EU country, the certified translation made in that country is also valid (Regulation (EU) 2016/1191).
