Details that decide whether a Spanish translation is accepted
These are the points we check on every Spanish document before it goes to an authority.
Two surnames, in the right order
Most Spanish speakers use two surnames, the father's first and the mother's second. US forms often have room for only one, and a dropped or reversed surname can cause a mismatch with other records. We keep both surnames exactly as they appear on the passport.
Regional vocabulary
The same idea is expressed differently in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, the Caribbean and Spain, and legal and administrative terms vary by country. We assign linguists who know the source country's usage and write for the audience you choose.
Apostilles and official annexes
Spanish language documents often carry an apostille, registry annotations or marginal notes added after issue. These are part of the document, so we translate them in full along with the main text.
Civil law terms without an English equivalent
Notarial deeds, registry entries and civil law procedures do not always have a direct English counterpart. We give a faithful rendering and add a translator's note, so the reader understands the term without being misled.

Questions about Spanish translation
Do you translate Latin American or European Spanish?
Both. For documents coming into English, we assign a linguist who knows the source country's usage. For translation into Spanish, tell us who the readers are, for example patients in the United States or customers in Spain, and we write for that audience.
How do you handle my two surnames?
We keep both surnames in the order they appear on your passport or existing records. If a source document writes them differently, we follow the official spelling and add a translator's note explaining the difference.
Do you translate the apostille too?
Yes. An apostille, like any stamp or annotation, is part of the document, so it is translated in full within the same certified translation.
Will USCIS accept your Spanish certified translation?
Our certified translations include a signed statement confirming completeness, accuracy and the translator's competence in Spanish and English, which is what USCIS asks for, and they carry our USCIS acceptance guarantee.
Can you translate English materials into Spanish for patients or parents?
Yes. We translate patient information, school letters and public notices into clear, natural Spanish, reviewed by a second native linguist before delivery.
