Frequently asked questions
Does the whole passport have to be translated?
The personal data page is usually enough. If the authority also asks for the entry and exit stamps or the visas, say so when you upload the document so that the relevant pages are translated.
Can the DNI or the NIE be translated?
Yes. Both sides of the document are translated, including the coded fields and the entries on the back, which form part of its evidential content.
What is this translation used for?
Opening bank accounts abroad, employment contracts, university enrolment, sales and purchases before a notary, and immigration procedures.
Who certifies it?
A sworn translator-interpreter appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation. Their certification, their signature and their stamp accompany the translation, as a signed PDF or on paper.
