Frequently Asked Questions
Is a “Certified Translation” enough for a Spanish university?
No. For official procedures like homologación or equivalencia, Spain requires a Traducción Jurada issued by a translator registered with the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC). Standard certified translations are not accepted.
Do I need to translate my academic transcripts as well?
Yes. Most Spanish universities and professional licensing bodies require both your degree certificate and a detailed academic transcript showing all courses, ECTS equivalents (if applicable), and final grades.
Can you translate QTS or GMC registration documents?
Yes. We translate professional certifications for regulated professionals such as teachers, doctors, nurses and engineers seeking recognition in Spain.
Does the degree need an Apostille first?
Yes. All UK-issued academic documents must carry the Hague Apostille before they can be submitted for official use in Spain. Translation should follow (not precede) this step.
How do I send my large transcript for a quote?
Email a clear PDF scan of your apostilled documents to hello@betranslated.es. Our team in Valencia will review them immediately and provide a transparent, fixed-price quote.
More questions
Why Choose a Sworn Translator for Your UK Academic Documents?
In Spain, not all certified translations are equal. For formal procedures like homologación, only translations performed by a MAEC-registered sworn translator (Traductor Jurado) are legally recognised. Our network includes officially accredited translators who provide:
- Officially stamped and signed translations compliant with Spanish legal standards
- Accurate rendering of academic terminology, grading systems, and institutional details
- Seamless compatibility with the Spanish education and professional licensing frameworks
Whether you’re a teacher seeking QTS validation, a doctor applying for GMC registration recognition, or an engineer submitting credentials to the Colegio de Ingenieros, our team takes care of the sworn translation of your documents.
What Documents Do You Need to Translate?
For most official purposes in Spain, you’ll need both:
- UK degree certificate (e.g., Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD)
- Official academic transcript listing all modules, credits, and grades
Additional documents may include professional certifications (e.g., PGCE, GMC, HCPC), references, or course syllabi, especially if you’re applying for regulated professions or university admission.
Do I Need an Apostille Before Translation?
Yes. Spain requires UK degrees and transcripts to carry the Hague Apostille before they can be officially recognised (Royal Decree 889/2022). The FCDO usually apostilles a degree only after a UK solicitor or notary has certified it; the Apostille confirms that signature.
Once apostilled, your documents are ready for sworn translation.
Tip: Always obtain the Apostille before sending your documents for translation to avoid delays or rework.
