English to Spanish certified translation

When a US document has to work in a Spanish-speaking country, it usually needs two things: an apostille and a Spanish translation. We do both, and tell you before you pay whether your country accepts a translation made in the US.

Documents we translate into Spanish

  • Your LLC's Articles of Organization, operating agreement and EIN letter, for a bank or a company registry at home
  • US birth, marriage and divorce records
  • Diplomas and transcripts
  • Court judgments and powers of attorney
  • Bank statements and tax returns

Will my country accept a US translation?

It depends on the country and the office. Some accept a certified translation made in the US, especially with the translator's certificate notarized and apostilled. Others require a translation by a sworn or official translator in that country. Spain, for example, has its own sworn translators. We check before you order.

The usual order of steps

  1. Get the original certified document.
  2. Get the apostille on the original from the state that issued it. We offer the Florida apostille for Florida documents.
  3. Translate the document and the apostille into Spanish.
  4. Add the notarized translator's certificate and the apostille to the translation too, if the receiving office requires it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I apostille the original or the translation?

Usually the original, and then the translation includes the apostille. Some offices also want the translator's certificate notarized and apostilled.
