Sworn Translation for Adoption Procedures
A Sworn Translation is essential for International Adoption procedures of children from other countries.
- Procedures within Spain: In order to standardise an international adoption of a girl/boy from Russia, China etc… It is necessary to submit an Official Sworn Translation in Spanish of the Birth Certificate of the adopted child to the Spanish authorities.
- Procedures outside of Spain: If for example you wish to adopt a girl/boy from China, it is necessary to submit an Official Sworn Translation from Spanish into Chinese of the Passport, Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Certificate of Criminal Record etc. to the Chinese authorities.
