Legalisation and the Apostille of The Hague

Some Sworn Translations need legalisation or the Apostille of The Hague.
If so, you will need to apply for it before proceeding with the Sworn Translation.

What is the Apostille of The Hague?

The Apostille of The Hague is the abbreviated legalisation process used for all the countries signatories of the Hague Convention, including Spain and English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States. It certifies that the signatory of your document, is a legitimate authority in your country. It is a large seal bearing the EU flag. The Apostille must also be translated.

What is a signature legalisation?

The Hague Convention only identifies the signatures of the more relevant people and bodies of each country: Colleges of Notaries, Superior Court of Justice, Ministries, etc. But your documents will probably bear signature of "lower" bodies, which will compel you to legalise (authenticate) it before the superior body. For example, for university titles and diplomas, you will have to request the Ministry of Education to legalise the signature.

Do I need the Apostille of The Hague?

If they haven't mentioned it, then you probably don't need it (even better!). Ask the agency which is requesting the Sworn Translation, as this matter is quite discretionary and not at all predictable.

Where to get an Apostille

If you are an American citizen and want to obtain Spanish residence, one of the documents you'll need is your Criminal Record Certificate, which must first be legalised with the Apostille of the Hague by the Office of the Secretary of State of your city, and then translated into Spanish by means of an Official Sworn Translation.
