Sworn Italian-to-Spanish translation
We work with Italian civil-status certificates, qualifications and legal documents intended for use in Spain. Before translating, we distinguish between certificato, estratto and copia integrale because they do not contain the same information and the receiving body may request a particular format.
Italian certificates and EU forms
For certain civil-status matters, a multilingual standard form may be available under Regulation (EU) 2016/1191. Its acceptance and any supporting documentation depend on the Spanish procedure.
Civil-status and administrative terminology
Although Italian and Spanish are closely related languages, false friends and legal categories do not always coincide. We translate according to the document’s function and preserve registry references, annotations and official names.

Frequently asked questions
Are certificato and estratto the same document?
Not always. They may contain different levels of detail. It is advisable to confirm which format the receiving body requires before ordering the translation.
Can I use an Italian multilingual standard form?
It may simplify certain procedures within the EU, but the Spanish authority receiving the document must confirm whether it is sufficient.
Do you also translate Italian notarial documents?
Yes. For powers of attorney or deeds, we need every page, signature, seal and attachment that forms part of the document.
