A sworn translation of a DNI or NIE<\/strong> may be required for legal, administrative, educational or immigration 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)<\/strong>, guaranteeing that the translation has full official validity<\/strong> before public administrations, companies, universities, embassies and international organizations.<\/p>\n Although a DNI or NIE is an identification document, when it must be submitted to an authority in a country whose language is different from Spanish, a sworn translation<\/strong> is the only way to ensure its formal acceptance.<\/p>\n It is the official document that certifies the identity and nationality of Spanish citizens. This document includes full name, date of birth, ID number, nationality, date of issue and validity, and a photograph. The DNI (National Identity Document)<\/strong> is issued by the Directorate General of the Police<\/strong>, specifically by the DNI Issuing Offices<\/strong> located throughout Spain. Only Spanish citizens<\/strong> can obtain a DNI.<\/p>\n This is the official identifier assigned to foreign nationals residing or carrying out procedures and formalities in Spain. It can be stated in different documents, such as residence cards (TIE) or in certificates issued by the police or immigration authorities. The NIE (Foreign Identity Number)<\/strong> is assigned by the Directorate General of the Police<\/strong>, at the immigration authority offices<\/strong> or authorized police stations<\/strong>. This number is issued to foreign citizens residing in Spain, persons carrying out procedures and formalities with the Spanish administration and applicants for visas or permits prior to their arrival. The NIE may appear on different official documents, such as the TIE (Foreign Identity Card)<\/strong> or on certificates issued by the immigration authorities.<\/p>\n Both the DNI and the NIE are considered essential personal documents<\/strong> and, when used outside Spain or in international proceedings, they may require a sworn translation.<\/p>\n Sworn translations are usually mandatory in situations such as:<\/p>\n In most cases, the DNI and NIE are not apostilled<\/strong>, since they are not intended as legalized documents. At <\/span>iDISC<\/span><\/b>, we are committed to providing <\/span>high-quality sworn translations<\/span><\/b> carried out by sworn translators with extensive experience. Each translation is produced with <\/span>accuracy<\/span><\/b> and <\/span>formality<\/span><\/b>, complying with all the necessary requirements to ensure that your documents are accepted by governmental authorities and other institutions.

Apostille and legalization<\/h2>\n
However, some foreign authorities may request an apostille or legalization<\/strong> for certificates issued by the police or immigration authorities (for example, a certificate containing the NIE). In such cases, the apostille is affixed to the official document issued by the administration<\/strong>, not to the physical card. If your situation requires an apostille or legalization, we can advise you on how to proceed.<\/p>\nCommitment to quality<\/h2>\n
