Frequently asked questions.
Grouped by topic — sworn translation and legal validity, pricing and payment, turnaround and delivery, confidentiality and data. Service-specific questions live on each service page.
Sworn & legal validity
It's produced and signed by a translator appointed by Spain's MAEC, giving it legal force in front of Spanish authorities — courts, registrars, universities, notaries.
No. A sworn translation makes the content legally readable in another language. An apostille legalises the origin of the original document — a separate, optional step from a different office.
Acceptance abroad depends on the receiving country's own rules. Tell us the destination when you request a quote and we'll confirm what's needed — including whether an apostille applies.
Not necessarily — "certified" means different things in different countries. On this site, we reserve the word "sworn" for Spain's jurada system specifically, to avoid that ambiguity.
ES↔EN is our base pair. ES↔FR/DE/IT/PT carries a 10% surcharge. Other pairs are quoted individually via the quote form.
Pricing & payment
Ex-VAT. 21% IVA is added as its own line at checkout, shown before you pay.
Yes, per service, stated on each service page — it covers the fixed cost of assigning and reviewing even a short document.
Checkout currently runs in demo mode — no card details are collected or transmitted. A live payment provider will replace it before launch, without changing the prices or process.
Yes — every service page and /pricing/ include a word-count estimator that applies the real per-word rate and minimum.
For larger orders, use the quote form and mention invoicing — we'll confirm terms directly.
Turnaround & delivery
3–10 business days depending on the service — each service page states its standard turnaround, and /pricing/ has the full table.
Urgent turnaround (24–48h) is available on most services at +40% of the standard price, subject to availability.
An eIDAS-signed PDF is included with every order. A stamped hard copy by courier is a paid add-on — Spain, the EU or worldwide.
1–2 business days within Spain, 2–4 within the EU, 3–7 worldwide, after the translation itself is complete.
Tell us as soon as possible — we'll confirm whether the new deadline is achievable and whether an urgent surcharge applies.
Confidentiality & data
Only the assigned translator and the independent reviewer. It isn't shared beyond the people working on your job.
Yes, on request, at no extra charge — ask before sending your document.
Name, email, phone and postal address, used to provide quotes, process orders and arrange delivery — see the Privacy Policy for full detail.
Yes, on request. Ask at any point during or after the job.
No. Your document is used only to complete your job.
