Birth Certificate Translation in Barcelona

Certified translation of birth certificates and civil records

A birth certificate is the primary legal document establishing identity, parentage, age, and nationality. When submitting civil records to Spanish immigration authorities (Extranjería), the civil registry (Registro Civil), educational institutions, or foreign embassies in Barcelona, a certified translation is mandatory.
