Spanish Translation - Spanish to Georgian and Georgian to Spanish

This page covers written translation. For an interpreter at a meeting, a notary or a clinic, see the Spanish interpreter page.

Spain has a strict system of official translators: a "traductor jurado" appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs signs and seals translations that Spanish offices accept without further certification. Many applications made from Georgia work with translations certified here instead. The two are not interchangeable, so we confirm which one your procedure needs.

Which Spanish documents we translate

Spanish into Georgian

Spanish documents come into Georgian for Georgian registries, courts, notaries, banks and universities: a marriage registered in Spain, a Spanish "escritura" for a property or company, a court decision on divorce or custody, a diploma from a Spanish or Latin American university. We translate every entry, stamp and marginal note in full.

Spanish and Latin American documents use different terms for similar things - a "partida de nacimiento" in one country is an "acta de nacimiento" in another - and some institutions, such as the Spanish "NIE", have no Georgian equivalent. We keep such terms and explain them, so the Georgian reader understands what the document is.

Georgian into Spanish

Georgian documents go into Spanish for embassies, immigration offices, civil registries, universities, employers and courts. We write standard Spanish that Spanish and Latin American offices both accept, and adapt terminology where the recipient country uses its own.

Spanish offices usually record two surnames, while Georgian documents show one surname and a patronymic. We do not invent a second surname: the name is copied from the Latin spelling in your passport, and the patronymic is shown as a patronymic, which avoids confusion in the Spanish registry.

Spanish translation for the embassy, visas and residence

Visa and residence procedures for Spain - study, work, family reunification, non-lucrative residence, digital nomad visas - require Georgian documents in Spanish: most often the criminal record certificate, birth and marriage certificates, medical certificates and proof of means. Most need an apostille, and the apostille itself must be translated.

Some Spanish offices accept a translation certified in Georgia, while others, particularly inside Spain, require a traductor jurado. Requirements also change with the type of residence. We work from the current list your consulate or immigration office has given you.

Spanish translation for study and recognition

Admission to Spanish universities and recognition of foreign degrees ("homologación" or "equivalencia") require the diploma, the supplement or transcripts and, for some programmes, the school certificate, fully translated into Spanish with an apostille.

The recognition authority compares your programme subject by subject, so each subject, credit and grade is translated, and the Georgian grading scale is stated as the original defines it. We leave grade conversion to the university or ministry.

Spanish translation for Latin American countries

Georgian documents also go to Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and other Latin American countries - for residence, marriage, business and study. Most of these countries are parties to the Apostille Convention, but each has its own rules on whether the translation must be done locally by an official translator.

We prepare the translation in neutral Latin American Spanish or with the terms the specific country uses, and we tell you in advance if a local official translation will be needed as well.

Legal, medical and business Spanish

Spanish translation with notarization and apostille

For official use in Georgia a Spanish translation is notarized. Georgia and Spain are both parties to the Apostille Convention, so Georgian public documents for Spain usually carry an apostille, which is translated with the document. See notarization and apostille and legalization.

If your Spanish office requires a traductor jurado, we tell you before the order, and our role may be limited to preparing the apostilled originals.

How a Spanish translation order runs

Price and turnaround for Spanish translation

The price depends on the direction, the volume, the subject and the certification. A package for one visa or residence application is quoted together. See translation prices.

A certificate is usually ready within one or two working days; academic, legal and medical documents take longer, and the apostille follows the Public Service Hall schedule. Give us your appointment date so the whole process is planned around it.
