Procedure

Sworn Translation for Family Members of Spanish Citizens

Foreign relatives applying under Spain's residence procedure for family members of Spanish citizens.

Applications under Spain's residence route for family members of Spanish citizens may require foreign documents proving marriage, partnership, birth, parentage, adoption, custody, dependency or other qualifying family circumstances. Traducet provides sworn translations completed by MAEC-appointed sworn translators for these residence and visa procedures.

When sworn translation is needed

  • When proving a marriage, registered partnership or stable partnership with documents issued abroad.
  • When proving parentage, birth, adoption, custody or parental responsibility.
  • When submitting foreign criminal-record or civil-status documents requested for the application.
  • When proving dependency, cohabitation, previous marital dissolution or other relevant family circumstances.

Common documents

About apostille

Foreign public documents may need an apostille or legalisation unless an exemption applies. Requirements depend on the issuing country, document type and application route. Upload the complete document, including any required apostille or legalisation pages.

Requirements depend on the authority and the specific case. Always check the official instructions from the authority handling your procedure. Traducet provides sworn translation — we cannot determine whether your document also needs apostille or legalisation.
