Documents for Spain
Spanish authorities often want a sworn translation by a traductor jurado in Spain. Ask before translating, and we'll prepare the apostille so your translator can work from it. See Spain.
Documents for Latin America
Many countries accept a certified translation done in the U.S.; some want it done locally. See Mexico, Dominican Republic and Colombia.
Bilingual documents
Powers of attorney and letters can be prepared side by side in English and Spanish when the receiving office accepts it.
Apostille first, then translate
When a country wants the apostille translated too, we translate after the apostille is attached.

Two surnames, one consistent spelling
Many Spanish-speaking countries record two surnames, the father’s and the mother’s, and documents from different years or offices may show them differently. Accents and hyphens can also drop off U.S. forms. We translate each document exactly as written and keep names consistent with your passport, so USCIS, courts and schools can see that every document belongs to the same person. If your records disagree with each other, tell us before we start.
Frequently asked questions
Do you translate Mexican birth certificates for USCIS?
Yes. Certified English translations accepted by USCIS.
Do I need a sworn translation for Spain?
Often, depending on the office. We confirm and arrange it.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on word count and formatting. Upload your document for an exact quote.
Do you translate older handwritten civil records?
Yes. Handwritten and older registry entries, including margin notes, are translated in full. If something is illegible, we mark it as illegible rather than guess.
Can you translate my U.S. documents into Spanish for Latin America?
Yes. Many countries accept a certified translation done in the U.S., and we can add the apostille in the same order. Some offices want the translation done locally, so check with the recipient first.
