All sworn official translations produced by sworn official translators bear official status, according to section 17.1(b) of Royal Decree 724/2020 (Real Decreto 724/2020).

Spanish sworn official translators receive university education in sworn and legal translation and are conferred authority by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation to perform their job. They have the knowledge and the research skills to produce sworn official translations into English and Spanish to be accepted by the authorities.

Sworn official translations, produced by a duly appointed sworn official translator – traductor Jurado, bear official status, and do not need to be legalised (apostilled).

The sworn official translator is only responsible for the official translation process into English and Spanish. The sworn official translator is not responsible for the legalisation process of the original translated document.
