Translation services in Madrid

Spanish authorities often require traducciones juradas for diplomas, criminal records, contracts and civil documents. These providers cover sworn and commercial translation for internationals handling paperwork in Madrid.

What to know before you book

Confirm whether you need a sworn (jurada) translation, the target language pair, turnaround time and delivery format — paper with stamps versus certified digital copies. Keep certified translations with your originals for renewals.

Not every bilingual speaker can issue a sworn translation. For official filings, ask for a traductor jurado recognised for the language pair you need. For websites, marketing or informal HR docs, commercial translation may be enough and cheaper.

Share clear scans, deadlines and the receiving authority when you request a quote. Open each listing for the official site, then confirm pricing per page or per word before you send passports or academic files.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need a sworn translation?

Often for official Spanish filings: diplomas, criminal records, civil status documents and many contracts. Ask the receiving office if unsure.

Is a bilingual friend enough?

Not for sworn requirements. Official filings usually need a recognised traductor jurado for that language pair.
