Spanish Translation Services for the UK
Our certified Spanish translation service covers documents from Spain and every Latin American country. Certified translations cost from £35 per page, carry a signed statement of accuracy on our letterhead, and are accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, UK courts, universities and banks. Standard delivery is 48 to 72 hours, with same-day service for urgent deadlines.
Spanish documents vary significantly depending on their country of origin. A birth certificate from Spain follows different conventions than one from Mexico, Argentina, or Colombia. Our Spanish translators are native speakers from specific regions, ensuring accurate handling of local terminology, document formats, and administrative conventions.
Whether it is a marriage certificate for a spouse visa, a certificado de antecedentes penales for an employment check, or university degrees for professional recognition, the work is done by native Spanish translators and certified for official use.
Certified Spanish Translation: the UK and Spanish Systems
The UK and Spain certify translations differently, and most questions we get come down to this difference. For documents used in the UK, there is no register of sworn translators: what authorities require is a certified translation, a complete and accurate translation with a signed statement of accuracy from the translation provider. That is what we supply, and it is accepted by UKVI, the Home Office, courts and universities.
For documents going to Spain, Spanish authorities normally require a sworn translation by a traductor jurado appointed by Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, often together with an apostille on the original document. The right route depends on which authority will receive your document, so tell us the destination when you request a quote and we will confirm what you need before you pay anything.

Spanish Regional and Latin American Variants
Accurate Spanish translation requires understanding regional differences:
- European vs Latin American Spanish, Vocabulary, grammar, and formal conventions differ between Spain and the Americas. "Computadora" (Latin America) vs "ordenador" (Spain) is just one example. We match the variant to your document's origin
- Spain's regional languages, Catalonia, Galicia, and the Basque Country have co-official languages. We translate Catalan, Galician, and Basque documents alongside Castilian Spanish
- Latin American country variations, Each country has distinct administrative systems. Mexican CURP documents, Argentine DNI formats, and Colombian cédulas all require specific knowledge
- Notarial differences, Spanish "escritura pública" and Latin American "escritura notarial" have different legal implications. Our translators convey these accurately for UK legal contexts
We have native-speaker translators from Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Venezuela, and other Spanish-speaking countries.
