Sworn translation in San Sebastián
We prepare sworn translations for individuals, law firms and companies in San Sebastián. Each translation is signed and stamped by a sworn translator-interpreter appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so it is accepted by the civil registry, the immigration office, courts, notaries and universities, both in the Basque Country and in the rest of Spain.
Valid in San Sebastián and throughout Spain
The validity of a sworn translation does not depend on where the translator lives: a MAEC sworn translator can sign translations valid in San Sebastián while living in another city. That lets us assign the best-suited translator for each language and meet tight deadlines.
Delivery in San Sebastián
You receive the translation on paper by courier at your home or office in San Sebastián, or as an electronic document with a qualified signature if the receiving authority accepts it. We give you the exact timeline in your quote.
Apostilles for documents issued in the Basque Country
Court documents issued in the Basque Country are apostilled at the competent High Court of Justice, based in Bilbao, and notarial documents at the relevant Association of Notaries. We identify the right authority for your document and handle the apostille and, if needed, the sworn translation.
Documents in Basque
Basque is an official language in the Basque Country, so many certificates, deeds and rulings are issued in Basque or in a bilingual version. When they have to be used in another region or abroad, we prepare their sworn translation into Spanish or directly into another language.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a sworn translation take in San Sebastián?
It depends on the language and the length of the document. A one-page certificate in a common language is usually ready within a few working days, plus delivery. We give you the exact timeline in your quote.
Do I have to hand in the original?
Usually not: a complete, legible scan is enough. If the receiving authority wants to see the original, we tell you before we start.
Are electronic sworn translations accepted in San Sebastián?
More and more authorities accept sworn translations with a qualified electronic signature, but not all of them. Ask the receiving authority or ask us and we will recommend the right format.
