Sworn Latvian-to-Spanish translation
We translate Latvian documents for use in Spain, including civil-status certificates, proof of residence and academic documents. We check whether a European multilingual standard form is available before recommending a full translation.
Latvian documents within the EU
Certain public documents may circulate with a multilingual standard form under Regulation (EU) 2016/1191. The Spanish receiving body decides whether that format is sufficient for the procedure or whether an additional translation is needed.
Diacritics and grammatical forms
Latvian uses ā, č, ē, ģ, ī, ķ, ļ, ņ, š, ū and ž. We preserve official spellings and review the endings of given names and surnames so that we do not introduce discrepancies with the passport or Spanish records.
