Birth and Marriage Certificate Sworn Translation

Whether you are applying for a Spanish visa with your family, registering a marriage in Spain, or applying for citizenship, your birth and marriage certificates must be sworn-translated into Spanish by an officially appointed traductor jurado. RiderTranslate provides MAEC-certified sworn translations of vital records.

Vital Records We Translate

Birth Certificates

US state-issued birth certificates, UK birth certificates, and certificates from other English-speaking countries.

Marriage Certificates

Marriage certificates for visa applications, residency, marriage registration in Spain, and nationality applications.

Divorce Decrees

Final divorce decrees, judgments, and separation agreements for Spanish civil registry and immigration procedures.

Death Certificates

Certified death certificates for Spanish probate, inheritance, and civil registry matters.

Common Use Cases

  • Digital Nomad Visa with family. If you are applying for the DNV with a spouse or children, their birth and marriage certificates must be sworn-translated.
  • Getting married in Spain. Foreigners marrying in Spain must provide a sworn translation of their birth certificate and, if previously married, their divorce decree.
  • Spanish citizenship by residence. After living in Spain for the required period, your birth certificate must be apostilled and sworn-translated.
  • Non-Lucrative Visa. Marriage and birth certificates for dependent family members require sworn translation.

Important: Name Consistency

Your name must match your passport exactly.

One of the most common reasons for rejection is a mismatch between the name on your birth or marriage certificate and your passport. Before sending your documents for translation, verify that the name, surname, and date of birth on all documents are identical. Flag any discrepancies to your translator in advance.
