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.

 

Which Documents We Translate in Barcelona

 

We work with a wide range of requests relevant to the international community in Catalonia—from students to digital nomads.

Our key services:

  • Legalization of Stay (NIE / TIE / Arraigo): For obtaining a resident card, filing for residency based on social ties (Arraigo Social), or the digital nomad visa. We perform sworn translation of police clearance certificates (Antecedentes penales), birth, and marriage certificates.

  • Education and Homologación (Recognition): For admission to universities (UB, UAB, UPF) or the recognition of Ukrainian diplomas (Homologación de títulos). We perform professional translation of diplomas, school certificates, and transcripts according to the Ministry of Universities' requirements.

  • Business and Digital Nomad Visa: We translate documents for the digital nomad visa, registration as a self-employed person (Autónomo), and the statutes of companies.

  • Real Estate and Registration (Empadronamiento): Translation of documents for renting or buying property, as well as for registering in the municipal census (Empadronamiento).

  • Medical and Insurance: Translation of medical reports and insurance certificates.

  • Driver's Licenses (DGT): Sworn translation of the Ukrainian driver's license for the exchange procedure (Canje de carnet).

 

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.

 

How to Order Sworn Translation Online in Barcelona?

 

Living in the rhythm of a big city, one doesn't want to waste time traveling in the hot metro or looking for parking. Our service is fully remote.

Ordering Process:

  1. Send Files: Take clear photos or scans (including the Apostille). Send them via the website, email, or messengers.

  2. Quote: A manager will check the requirements of the Extranjería and provide the exact price and deadline.

  3. Execution: The Traductor Jurado performs the translation, signs, and officially seals the document.

  4. Delivery (Correos):

    • The paper original with the "wet" seal is sent via registered mail (Carta Certificada) through Correos.
