Translation Agency in Barcelona: Your Reliable Partner in Catalonia

Barcelona is the heart of Catalonia, a city of Gaudi and a global IT hub. For thousands of Ukrainians, the Catalan capital has become a place for a new start: people open startups, study at prestigious business schools, and build a new life by the sea. However, enjoying life in Barcelona is often overshadowed by complex bureaucracy.

Interacting with the Migration Office (Extranjería), submitting documents to the Generalitat de Catalunya, or registering at the City Hall (Ajuntament) all require impeccably prepared papers. Any error in translation or lack of the correct certification can lead to losing a hard-won appointment (cita previa). Spanish authorities recognize only a document translated by a state-certified specialist: a Sworn Translator (Traductor Jurado). "Admiral" Translation Agency in Barcelona is your reliable partner. We provide official documents that are guaranteed to be accepted in any province.

Translation Specifics in Spain: Traductor Jurado

The Spanish legal system is rigid and does not accept ordinary translations for official actions.

1. Sworn Translation (Traducción Jurada)

For submission to state authorities (Extranjería, Registry Office, Courts), a translation performed by a Sworn Translator (Traductor Jurado), certified by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC), is required. Attention: A standard translation, even if notarized in Ukraine, will be rejected by the Extranjería office. You must order a Traducción Jurada.

2. Spanish vs. Catalan?

In Catalonia, two languages are official. However, for 99% of migration matters (residence permits, visas), a Sworn Translation into Spanish (Castellano) is entirely sufficient and must be accepted by all state authorities. This is the universal option.

3. Apostille (Apostilla)

Spanish officials are very strict about the Apostille stamp. Before ordering a sworn translation, ensure your Ukrainian original document (certificate, notarial act) has the Apostille. We offer a "turnkey" service: Apostille placement in Ukraine + Sworn Translation for Spain.
