Language pair
Ukrainian ↔ Spanish sworn translation
Traducet arranges sworn translations between Ukrainian and Spanish, prepared by MAEC-appointed sworn translators for residence, temporary-protection, academic and civil-registry procedures in Spain — and for Spanish documents used before Ukrainian authorities. Because MAEC-appointed Ukrainian translators are scarce, price and translator availability are confirmed before any payment; both directions are handled from this page.
Who needs this service?
Demand has grown sharply since 2022. Typical users include Ukrainian nationals under temporary protection or standard residence procedures, families registering civil events and schooling, professionals and students validating diplomas for homologación, drivers exchanging licences, and Spanish institutions requesting certified Spanish versions of Ukrainian records.

Countries and issuing authorities
- Ukraine's civil-registry offices (DRACS) issuing birth, marriage and family records.
- The Ministry of Internal Affairs issuing criminal-record certificates.
- Universities and ministries issuing diplomas with supplements (dodatok).
- Some Ukrainian documents are issued or verified digitally through state e-services; whether a digital original is accepted depends on the Spanish receiving authority.

Translation considerations
- Ukrainian is written in Cyrillic and romanised under the official system approved by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 55 of 2010 — the same system used in Ukrainian passports; the translator matches the spelling in your passport or NIE.
- Names include a patronymic; the certified translation preserves it and keeps its position clear.
- Older records may be bilingual Ukrainian–Russian or issued in Russian; the translation identifies the actual language and format of the document.
- Seals, handwritten entries and registry annotations are standard on Ukrainian records and form part of the certified translation.
- Diplomas are commonly translated together with the dodatok (supplement) for Spanish recognition procedures.
Price & availability
This language pair requires a price and translator-availability check before payment. Delivery options are confirmed after the document and requested deadline have been reviewed.
Availability
Demand for Ukrainian has grown sharply in recent years and MAEC-appointed Ukrainian translators are scarce. Price and translator availability are confirmed before payment; delivery timing is confirmed after your document and deadline have been reviewed. You only pay if you choose to proceed — the specialist surcharge (×1.35) is included in the confirmed quote.
Delivery and digital format
Submit your document through the availability request; once the price and a translator are confirmed and you decide to proceed, the certified translation is delivered as a digitally signed PDF (PAdES) valid under Orden AUC/213/2025 where applicable. The receiving authority determines any additional format requirements.
Apostille and legalisation
Ukraine is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille issued by the competent Ukrainian authority is the usual legalisation route for civil documents used in Spain — though some Spanish procedures involving displaced persons have applied flexibility, and requirements vary by authority. Confirm with the office handling your case; Traducet translates the apostille together with the document but does not determine the original's validity.
