Certified Translation
Certified Spanish Translation Services for Spain Documents
If this translation is for official Spain use, you almost certainly need the sworn version, not the certified one.
Spanish law requires sworn translation for almost every official submission (visa, university, court, notary, civil registry). A traductor jurado (court-sworn translator) is required by law. The certified translation on this page is appropriate only for internal corporate use, business contracts, or informal verification, not for any government, embassy, or university submission.

How SiZA Runs Certified Translation
Before any translation starts, SiZA reviews the apostilled or attested source document, confirms the destination authority's accepted format (sworn / certified / Embassy-empanelled), and shares per-page rate and timeline.
What to send first
Review the requirement
Share the document scan, destination country, purpose, deadline, and where the original document is currently kept.
Confirm the right process
SiZA checks whether the file needs apostille, embassy attestation, HRD/Home, Chamber, translation, visa documentation, or a combined process.
Handle and update
Once the scope is clear, the file moves through the required steps with practical updates by WhatsApp or email.
Proof and return
After completion, SiZA shares completion proof, confirms payment and courier preference, then packs and dispatches the document safely.

Original personal and company documents are handled with careful custody, privacy, and controlled handoff.
Clear Updates
Customers receive updates through WhatsApp or email as the file moves through review, submission, completion, and dispatch.
Completion Proof
When work is completed, SiZA can share photos or videos so the customer can verify the result before return dispatch.
Safe Return
Return delivery is packed carefully and sent through trusted courier options after address and courier preference are confirmed.
No Shortcut Claims
SiZA does not promise fake shortcuts, bypass personal appearance rules, or help with forged or non-genuine documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the process take?
End-to-end timelines depend on five factors: the issuing state, whether university verification is required, the document type (educational vs civil vs commercial), the destination country's chain (Hague apostille vs non-Hague embassy attestation), and any translation requirement. A typical apostille-only file is 7-15 working days; a file with HRD + apostille + translation is 12-25 working days; a non-Hague embassy attestation file with all chain steps is 15-30 working days. SiZA Global shares a written, case-specific timeline after the scan review.
Do originals need to be submitted?
Yes. HRD, SDM, Home Department, MEA apostille, and embassy attestation are all physical-stamping processes on the original document. A scan is enough for the initial review on WhatsApp; the original is then couriered to SiZA Global (or we arrange doorstep pickup in major Indian cities) for the authority steps. The original is returned by AWB-tracked courier after completion. NRIs whose originals are with family in India can coordinate the whole process remotely, the originals never leave India for the apostille step.
When do documents need certified translation?
Certified translation is required when an Indian document is submitted to a foreign authority whose working language is not English. Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Russia, the GCC (Arabic), and many others ask for certified translation alongside (or after) the apostille. The format varies, Italy uses Embassy-empanelled translators, Germany uses sworn translators (vereidigter Übersetzer), Spain uses Traductor Jurado, Czech Republic uses soudní tlumočník. SiZA Global confirms the accepted format for the receiving authority before translation begins.
Stories from clients on this language route
“Spain required apostille on nursing degree, PCN registration, and IELTS certificate. Kerala HRD for the nursing degree took three weeks as SiZA had warned. After that, MEA apostille was quick. They also arranged a Spanish translation I didn't initially know was needed. The visa was approved.”

“My US university required official certified English translations of my degree and transcripts. The translations SiZA provided were accepted immediately. They formatted everything exactly as the university required and included the certification statement. No back and forth at all.”
Kavitha Rajan
Student, USA university admission
Chennai, India
“Germany required both apostille on my transcripts and certified German translation. SiZA coordinated both at the same time — I submitted documents once and got back apostilled originals with certified German translation. They also confirmed APS requirements for my university application.”
Meera Pillai

“Italy requires Italian translation done by an empanelled translator for study visa documents. SiZA provided the translation with the translator's seal and declaration. The Italian consulate in Chennai accepted the translations without asking for any corrections. I'd tried another service before SiZA — that translation was rejected. The difference was obvious.”
Rajan Krishnamurthy
Student, Italy Master's programme

“Czech university and consulate both needed Czech-language translations of my degree and school leaving certificate. SiZA arranged certified Czech translation along with apostille on the originals. The Czech consulate in Delhi accepted everything on the first submission. I didn't have to do a second round.”
Shreya Kapoor

“Saudi employment visa required Arabic translation of my degree, experience certificate, and police clearance. SiZA provided certified Arabic translation with attested seal — the format Saudi employers and MOFA recognise. All three documents translated and delivered quickly. My Saudi visa file was accepted without any translation-related rejection.”
