Traducción jurada, explicada
A sworn translation (traducción jurada) is an official translation into Spanish. It is signed and sealed by a Traductor-Intérprete Jurado: a sworn translator-interpreter appointed by Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation (MAEC). Their signature and seal certify that the translation is complete and faithful to the original, so Spanish authorities accept it as an official document.
Everything on the original is translated: text, stamps, handwritten notes and the Apostille.
A standard statement in which the sworn translator certifies that the translation is faithful and complete.
The translator signs and seals every page. The seal identifies the translator and their official appointment.

Yes. A translation signed and sealed by a Traductor-Intérprete Jurado appointed by Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is an official translation. Spanish authorities, courts, registries, universities and notaries accept it. Some offices have extra requirements, such as an Apostille on the original, so it's worth confirming with the office that will receive your documents.
It depends on the country that issued your document. An Apostille is a certificate confirming that a public document is genuine, issued by countries in the 1961 Hague Convention. Countries outside the Convention use consular legalisation instead, and many EU documents need neither. Get the Apostille or legalisation before translation, because it has to be translated too. The Document Finder shows what usually applies.
Yes. A clear scan or photo of every page, including the back and any Apostille, is enough for us to quote and translate. The receiving authority may ask to see your original document together with the translation, so keep it safe.
