Companies have been placing their trust in us for over 25 years

In today’s globalised world it is very common for Spanish companies and individuals to do business in foreign countries, and vice versa. Likewise, the widespread movement of people means that many individuals live, marry, have children, acquire and bequeath assets, etc. in countries other than the one they were born in. As a result, they require documents in the necessary languages, and so the translation of certificates - among other documents - is absolutely essential.

Specialists in the sworn translation of certificates

Very often, an organisation that requires the translation of a certificate will also specify that the translation must be sworn, so that it will be legally valid. At Ampersand we have a team of sworn translators who are certified by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and can provide officially valid certificate translations. Sworn translation has a separate cost and is not always necessary; it is therefore important that the client establishes whether a standard or sworn translation is required.

Certificate translation: FAQ

Still have unanswered questions and need to get in touch?

How can I request a certificate translation from Ampersand?

Simply go to the “Get a quote” page, fill out the form and attach the certificate you need to translate, in the format in which you have it (scanned image or digital format such as PDF, JPG, etc.). On the form, you can also specify whether the translation is urgent. We will then evaluate your request and get back to you promptly with details of the price and time frame for delivery. Once you accept the quote, we will get to work on your translation immediately.

How much does it cost to translate a certificate?

The cost depends on the type of certificate and whether the translation needs to be sworn. If it does need to be sworn, the price of the translation starts at €39 (VAT not included) for the most common language combinations. From then on, the cost will be based on the word count (from €0.13 per word); consequently, translating an academic certificate (for example), which may contain many pages, is not the same as translating a birth certificate, which may only consist of a few dozen words.

How long does it take to translate a certificate?

As with the previous question, the answer depends on the document to be translated. For routine documents in common language combinations, the translation process is faster, as we have specific glossaries. In contrast, certificates with terminology that is less common will take longer to translate.
If you would like a quote for the translation of a certificate, please call us on 93 415 99 90 or send us a request via the form, making sure to attach the material to be translated so that we can evaluate it. We will get back to you on the same day.

How can you ensure an accurate translation of high linguistic quality in as short a time as possible?

Through a process that has been perfected over the years, consisting of a project manager who knows the client’s profile and the target language and country in depth, a stable team of translators that allows us to quickly select the best translator for each case, and an internal quality control process that enables us to validate the quality of the translation.

Do you translate certificates in both directions, i.e. so that they are valid in Spain or abroad?

Yes. We provide our clients with a dedicated team of translators specialising in the languages that are most in demand at the European level (English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Polish, Dutch and Portuguese). We also take on projects in other languages, such as Japanese, Arabic and Chinese. Ask us for information on prices and time frames.
