Sworn translation for Spain's digital nomad visa

The digital nomad visa (or the residence permit, if you are already in Spain) is applied for at the Spanish consulate in your country or at the Unit for Large Companies and Strategic Groups (UGE). In both cases the file brings together documents issued by public bodies, employers, universities and banks in one or more countries, and everything that is not in Spanish must be submitted with a sworn translation (traducción jurada).

When a file is refused or sent back for correction, it is rarely because of the merits of the case. The usual reasons are a document without an apostille, a plain translation where a sworn one was required, or an incomplete batch that forces you to start again. My job is to prevent exactly that: I review your list, tell you which document needs an apostille before it is translated, and translate the whole set with consistent criteria (same names, same dates, same terminology in every document).

These are the documents the consulate or the UGE ask for most often. If your country is party to the Hague Convention, the apostille goes on the original before translation, because the apostille is translated too.

Every sworn translation I deliver carries my signature, stamp and certification on each document, including the apostille and any stamps or handwritten notes. They are valid before the consulate, the UGE and any other Spanish body.

Your spouse, registered partner and children can apply with you or later. Each family member provides their own certificate (marriage or partnership, birth), apostilled and translated, and some consulates also ask adults for their criminal record certificate. It is worth including them in the same batch: names and dates are written identically across all documents, which is the first thing the examiner checks.

• Put everything in one folder (Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer or email attachments) named with your surname.
• Scan every document in full, including the apostille and the back if it carries stamps. Phone photos are fine if they are legible.
• Give each file a clear name: 01-criminal-record.pdf, 02-employment-contract.pdf… I return the translations in the same order.
• Tell me which consulate you are applying at (or whether you are filing with the UGE) and your appointment date, if you already have one.

Within 2 working hours you get my review of the list (what is missing, what needs an apostille), a fixed price for the whole batch and a single delivery deadline in writing.

You receive one digitally signed PDF per document, numbered like the files you sent me, plus an index of the file. The electronic signature can be verified in one click and is valid for online submission; if the consulate asks for paper, I courier the stamped originals to Spain or to your country (courier cost stated in the quote).

Timing: individual documents take 24/48 hours; the complete file gets a single deadline confirmed in writing before I start (I can handle up to 500 pages per week). Price: a fixed quote within 2 hours, per document and for the batch, in euros, charged in euros to any international card. Indicative prices per document are on the pricing page.
