Why Apostille Documents for Spain
If you need to use a UK document in Spain, it will typically need an Apostille certificate to be recognised as valid by the Spanish authorities.
This applies to personal, educational, business and legal documents, from a marriage certificate used as part of a residence application to a UK degree submitted as part of a homologación application.
Spain is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which simplifies the legalisation process. No further embassy attestation is required after the apostille has been issued to a document. In most cases, however, Spanish authorities will then require a sworn translation (traducción jurada) of the document into Spanish before they will accept it.
