What is a sworn translation (traducción jurada)?
A sworn translation is an official document translation performed and stamped by a translator accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC). This level of certification is mandatory for submitting foreign documents to Spanish authorities for legal and immigration purposes.

* Immigration Documents: Criminal record certificates and company registers (EGRUL, EGRIP).
* Academic Records: University diplomas, school certificates, and transcripts.
* Legal Certificates: Birth, marriage, and divorce certificates.
* Financial Records: Tax declarations and certain bank statements.

How do I prepare documents for a Spanish residence permit?
Before a sworn translation can be performed, documents issued outside of Spain must be legally recognized through the appropriate legalization process.
* Apostille: Required for countries that are party to the Hague Convention; must be obtained in the country of issue.
* Consular Legalization: Required for countries not party to the Hague Convention.
* Validity Periods: Criminal record certificates are typically valid for 180 days from the date of issue, though some consulates reduce this to 90 days.
* Processing Time: Sworn translations generally require 2–5 business days for completion.
What administrative support is available for Digital Nomads?
