Description
Sworn translation of a passport
A sworn translation of a passport is an essential service for legal, immigration, academic and administrative procedures both in Spain and abroad. At iDISC, this service is carried out exclusively by sworn translators-interpreters appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation (MAEC), ensuring that your translated document has full official validity before embassies, consulates, universities, companies and public bodies. This type of translation is known as sworn translation, official translation or certified translation.
What is a passport?
A passport is an official document issued by the competent authority of the country. In Spain, passports are issued by the Directorate General of the Police, under the Ministry of the Interior. This document certifies the holder’s identity, nationality and authorizes entry into and exit from the national territory. It includes essential information such as full name, date and place of birth, passport number, photograph, signature, nationality and date of issue and expiration.
Since it is a crucial document for verifying identity and nationality, a sworn translation is required whenever it must be submitted to authorities in a language other than that of the original document.
When do you need a sworn translation of your passport?
A sworn translation of a passport is required in many procedures, such as:
- Immigration procedures: to apply for visas, residence permits, naturalization, or regularization processes in other countries.
- Studies abroad: universities and educational institutions may require it to complete admission files or international mobility programs.
- Marriage abroad or consular registrations: to verify identity and nationality during the processing of the marriage proceedings.
- International legal proceedings: civil or notarial proceedings, adoptions, inheritances, or litigation where identity must be verified before a foreign authority.
- Employment processes: international companies may request a sworn translation as part of the hiring process or to verify the candidate’s identity.
