What it is and what it is used for

What is a certified translation of a certificate of residence?

A certified translation of a certificate of registration is the official translation of the document issued by the local council (or the civil registry) certifying a person’s address or place of residence, signed and stamped by an authorised sworn translator. The translation has the same validity as the original when presented to consulates, authorities and registries in another country.

It is required for numerous international procedures: immigration applications, visas, applications for citizenship, marriage abroad, family reunification or the enrolment of children. Certification by a sworn translator guarantees that the consulate, the relevant authority or the registry will accept the document as authentic.

A certificate of registration is a short, standardised document, so the key lies in the accuracy of the personal details (name, address, dates of registration) and the reproduction of the official format and stamps. As it is brief, we can usually produce it quickly and at a reasonable price. To confirm the price and turnaround time, we simply need to see the certificate, the language and the country or organisation for which it is intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sworn translations of registration certificates: frequently asked questions

What is a certificate of residence and when do I need to have it translated?
A certificate of registration (or certificate of residence) confirms a person’s address or place of residence in a municipality. You will need a certified translation when submitting it as part of a legal, administrative or consular procedure in a country with a different official language: immigration, visas, citizenship, marriage or family reunification.
Which details on the certificate are translated?
We translate all the information contained in the document: full name, address, dates of registration on the municipal register, the number of members in the household (if stated), and the official stamps and signatures. We reproduce the layout of the original so that the translated document is easily recognisable by the receiving authority.
How long does it take to have a certificate of residence officially translated?
As it is a short, standardised document, it is usually one of the quickest to produce. If you have an appointment or an immigration deadline, please let us know when you request a quote: in many cases we can produce it very quickly, and we’ll prioritise the urgent service when you need it.
How much does it cost to have a certificate of residence translated?
As this is a short document, the price is usually reasonable. The exact cost depends on the target language and whether you are translating one or more certificates. Send it to us and we’ll confirm a fixed price with no obligation.
Is a certified translation of the electoral register accepted by foreign authorities?
Yes. Certified translations signed by a translator authorised by the MAEC are recognised by consulates, government departments and official bodies in most countries. For some destinations, the original document may also require a Hague Apostille; we will advise you on the best course of action for your specific case.
Do I need the paper certificate, or is the one I download online sufficient?
It depends on the receiving organisation. For a certified translation, we can use a PDF or a legible scan of the certificate (including the one you download from the council’s online portal). Please let us know where it’s going and we’ll tell you if you also need the original hard copy.
Can I sort this out without having to go anywhere?
Yes. You can send the certificate as a PDF or a scan and process it online, wherever you are. If you need to visit our office in Alicante in person, we’ll arrange this on a case-by-case basis.
