Many clients ask us about the process for obtaining a sworn translation. Below you can find the steps to follow.

Firstly, you will need to send us a copy of the documents to be translated, as the price and the delivery date will vary according to the particulars of each document. 

You should not send the original documents, an image of them will suffice. However, it is recommended that you send a scanned image, as the law requires that a copy of the original document be attached to the printed translation and a photograph would probably not produce the desired result, as it would be too dark. 

After seeing the documents you want to translate, we will send you a quote. This quote will include the price and an approximate delivery date. Acceptance of the quote implies acceptance of the terms and conditions specified in the relevant section of this website. 

The delivery date will be approximate. If you need your translation urgently, we do offer an express service with a guaranteed delivery date for digital copies (short documents are usually delivered within 24 hours). If you have ordered an express service and the delivery date is not met, you will get your money back.

If you wish to accept the quote and proceed with the translation, you will be able to do so by following the link provided. When accepting the quote, please provide the relevant details if you need a full invoice. Otherwise, we will send you a simplified invoice (if the law permits). You will be able to make the payment by card following the link to the invoice that you will receive by email. 

Once the payment has been received, we will start translating your documents as soon as possible. Please note that we will not start the translation until the payment has been received, so the delivery date could be affected in the case of delayed payments. 

The translation will always be done by a Sworn Translator appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, a guarantee of its official validity.

Regarding the delivery of the translation, we will send you a digital copy by email, electronically signed, which is nowadays accepted by most authorities. You can also order a hard copy to be sent by post if needed. Hard copies are subject to an additional charge of 5% of the final price (with a minimum charge of 15 EUR) which includes non-urgent delivery within Spain.

We hope you have found all the information needed; however, if you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Additionaly, you can find more information in the terms and conditions, in the FAQ and on the prices page.

Thank you very much for your attention.
