Procedure
Sworn Translation for Marriage in Spain
Foreign nationals planning to marry in Spain, or Spanish nationals marrying a foreign partner.
Getting married in Spain as a foreigner requires submitting various civil documents to the Registro Civil. All documents in a foreign language must be accompanied by a sworn translation from a MAEC-appointed translator.
When sworn translation is needed
- When registering your intention to marry at the Registro Civil.
- When one or both parties hold foreign civil documents.
- When submitting proof of single status (certificado de soltería) from abroad.
Common documents
About apostille
Birth certificates and certificates of single status issued abroad typically need apostille before translation. The Registro Civil will advise on exact requirements for your country.
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.
