If you've moved to Spain with British paperwork, sooner or later an official body will ask for a sworn translation. This guide goes procedure by procedure: which document gets translated, whether it needs an apostille, the price from and the usual turnaround. If your case isn't here, message me on WhatsApp and I'll confirm straight away.
UK criminal record certificate (ACRO), birth certificate and, depending on your case, marriage certificate.
Apostille: yes for the ACRO certificate (immigration offices ask for it); birth and marriage depend on the office — check first, and I'll translate it apostille included.
