Questions, answered before you have to ask them.

A sworn translation is signed and stamped by a translator listed on the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ (MAEC) register of sworn translators-interpreters. That signature and stamp make it a legal instrument a Spanish authority can accept — not the wording alone.

Sworn means a MAEC-listed translator has personally signed and stamped it. Certified means a signed statement of accuracy is attached, without that specific Spanish accreditation. Which one you need depends on what the receiving institution asks for.

Most Spanish authorities accept a signed digital PDF with the translator’s electronic stamp. Some notaries, foreign consulates and specific procedures still ask for a posted original.

If it’s on formal grounds — signature, stamp, or format — for a sworn or certified order, we correct and re-issue it at no cost, per our guarantee. If it’s a content dispute rather than a formal rejection, contact us and we’ll review it directly.

Contact us directly — for very short documents we can sometimes do better than the published Express window; ask before ordering rather than assuming.

Sworn and certified translations are usually short, discrete civil documents where a page count is the clearest unit; other work varies too much in length and density for that to be fair.
