Formal complexity Stamps, marginal notes, certifications, tables and annexes that need to be reproduced.
Urgency If you have a tight deadline, we’ll assess the feasibility and prioritise your request where possible.

Official and regulatory verification

Official, verifiable translations

In Spain, certified translations are carried out by officially authorised certified translators and interpreters. You can check their authorisation by language using the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ official search engine.

The general framework is governed, amongst other regulations, by Royal Decree 724/2020 (BOE), which regulates the Office for Language Interpretation and the role of sworn translators. If your procedure is international, in some cases an apostille or legalisation may also be required, depending on the country.

At Trayma, we go through the destination country and authority with you before issuing the final version, so that we can recommend the safest delivery method and avoid any issues.

Sworn translation in Alicante with official validity

Sworn translations for procedures in Spain and abroad, with delivery tailored to the requirements of the relevant body.

A sworn translation is an official translation signed and stamped by a certified sworn translator. It is used when a document must be submitted to an administrative body, university, notary or court and requires formal validity.

At Trayma, we make it easy for you: send us the document (PDF or legible photo), indicate the destination country/organisation and your deadline. We will respond with a clear quote, a feasible deadline and the recommended type of delivery (digital, paper or both).

What is a certified translation and what makes it valid?

A sworn translation is an official translation of a document that must be submitted to an authority or institution. It is carried out by a certified translator, who certifies with their signature and stamp that the translation is faithful to the original.

In official procedures, the format and consistency of data is also important: names and surnames, dates, numbers, stamps, annotations, and references. A minor difference in data can lead to requests for further information or delays.

According to Trayma’s methodology, in certified translation we prioritise terminological accuracy, formal consistency and a final verification of critical data before delivery.

When you need a certified translation

It is normally required when the receiving organisation requests a ‘sworn translation’, ‘official translation’ or ‘translation certified by a sworn translator’. If the procedure involves immigration, studies, a notary, court or registry, it is common for this format to be requested.

Common cases:

Immigration and international mobility: certificates, background checks, residence or work documentation.

Studies: degrees, transcripts, teaching plans, academic certificates.

Notary and courts: powers of attorney, judgments, deeds, wills, and procedural documentation.

Company: commercial registers, articles of association, contracts and corporate documentation.

Sworn translation by language

Select the language and tell us the destination of the document (country and organisation). This allows us to tailor the approach and delivery to what is usually required by immigration authorities, universities, notaries, courts or companies. If you cannot find your combination, please contact us.
