Your certified translations for the Spanish and British authorities
Whether you are a Spanish national living in the United Kingdom or a UK resident looking to live, work or study in Spain, you may need to provide certified translations of your documents for procedures such as applying for Spanish or British nationality, getting married or buying property.
Dialexy can help you navigate the stringent certified translation requirements for procedures with the Spanish authorities as well as the requirements set by UKVI in the UK.

Certified translations for UK residents looking to work, live or study in Spain
If the documents you need for the Spanish authorities are not in Spanish, then you may need to provide a ‘traducción jurada’ (literally, sworn translation). Only the translations performed by a certified translator appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation (the so called Traductor-Intérprete Jurado) will be accepted by the Spanish authorities. These translations have to be stamped and signed by the translator, who attests to their accuracy and completeness.
At Dialexy we know these rules very well with our CEO having been appointed Traductora-Intérprete Jurada back in 2008. Since then, she has been working very closely with the Spanish authorities in the UK. The Consulate of Spain in Edinburgh, the Consulate of Spain in Manchester and the Spanish Embassy in London have all been accepting our translations for the past decade, as well as the Spanish authorities in Spain.
Certified translations for Spanish nationals living in the UK
Spain and the UK have different regulations for certified translations. Translations performed by a Spanish Traductor-Intérprete Jurado are usually accepted in the UK, but this is not your only option.
If you are planning to move to the UK to work or study or if you live in the UK but you don’t have a Spanish certified translator close by, Dialexy can help you get fast certified translations that are valid in the UK for procedures such as naturalisation, university and job applications or professional registration.
