Sworn Translation in Madrid: Traductor Jurado for Extranjería and Residency

Madrid is the political, economic, and administrative heart of Spain. For Ukrainians seeking legal residence, studying at a prestigious university (Complutense, Autónoma), or opening a business, the path to legalization invariably passes through the numerous offices of the Spanish bureaucracy.

The main challenge for foreigners in the Spanish capital is the preparation of documents according to the strict local requirements. The Extranjería office in Madrid, the Central Registry Office (Registro Civil Central), and the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) only accept a document translated by a specialist certified by the state. A standard notarized translation from Ukraine is not accepted. You need a Sworn Translation (Traducción Jurada). "Admiral" Translation Agency offers online services in Madrid, providing official documents with the full legal force of a public act.

Which Documents We Translate in Madrid

Our services cover all the critical steps for life, study, and work in the Community of Madrid.

1. For Extranjería Madrid (Foreigners Office)

This is the key service for residents of the capital region:

• Sworn translation of the police clearance certificate (Antecedentes penales) — mandatory for obtaining the TIE resident card, Arraigo (social ties), or family reunification.

• Sworn translation of birth, marriage, and divorce certificates.

• Documents for the Tarjeta Comunitaria (EU family card).

2. Education and Homologación (Recognition)

Madrid is home to Spain's largest universities. The procedure for recognizing Ukrainian qualifications (Homologación de títulos) requires:

• Sworn translation of diplomas, school certificates (Bachillerato), and transcripts for submission to the Ministry of Universities or Madrid universities.

3. Registering Civil Status (Registro Civil Central)

• Sworn translation of birth and marriage certificates for registering a civil partnership (Pareja de hecho) or a new marriage at the central or local registry office.

4. Driver's Licenses (DGT)

• Sworn translation of the Ukrainian driver's license for the exchange procedure (Canje de carnet) via the DGT offices in Madrid.

5. Legal and Banking

• Sworn translation of powers of attorney, statutes, and financial reports for opening a business or for complex transactions with notaries and banks in the capital.

Translation Specifics in Spain: The Status of Traductor Jurado

In Spain, the institution of translation is controlled by the state.

Sworn Translation (Traducción Jurada) This translation is performed by a Sworn Translator (Traductor Jurado), a professional expert certified by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC). The translator acts as a notary and bears personal responsibility for the accuracy of the document. The key features of a Traducción Jurada are:

• A personal "wet" seal and signature on every page.

• A mandatory final certification formula.

• Note: A simple notarized translation from Ukraine will be rejected by the Extranjería office.

Apostille (Apostilla) All Ukrainian official documents must be legalized for use in Spain. Before translation, the original document must have an Apostille stamp. We provide an integrated service: we organize the Apostille in Kyiv/Lviv and then perform the Sworn Translation.
