Certified English and Spanish translations for the United Kingdom
I carry out translations for clients residing in the United Kingdom as well as for clients residing in Spain who want to move abroad or vice versa. I can translate official English and Spanish documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, employment contracts, academic certificates, registration certificates, family books, identity documents, passports, and visa documentation for the United Kingdom, etc.
Who can perform certified English and Spanish translations?
In the United Kingdom, only members accredited by government-recognized associations can certify translations. These associations have a list of translators accredited by themselves and are public:
In this case, they are:
CIOL (Chartered Institute of Linguists)
ITI (Institute of Translation and Interpreting)
ATA (Association of Translation Companies)
I am accredited as a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, and you can find my profile in their registry of translators and interpreters.
The figure of the sworn translator in the United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, the figure of the “sworn translator” as we know it in Spain or other countries like Germany does not exist.
In the United Kingdom, we must talk about certified translations. Only translators who are members of the aforementioned associations, in my case, a member of CIOL, can certify translations that will be valid in the United Kingdom.
However, in Spain, translators recognized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can perform sworn translations. That is, for a sworn translation to be valid in Spain, it must be sealed and signed by a translator listed in the MAEC’s sworn translator registry.
In Germany, on the other hand, it is the courts of each region that appoint sworn translators. In Germany, there are different paths to obtain the appointment as a sworn German-Spanish translator.
When is a certified translation from English to Spanish valid?
For a certified translation to be valid in the United Kingdom, in addition to being carried out by a member of the relevant associations, as mentioned earlier, it must meet several requirements:
A statement by the translator that they have made a faithful translation of the original document. An example would be: ‘a true and accurate translation of the original document’; The translation date must be stated; Name and contact details of the translator; Logo/seal/signature as a member of CIOL, ITI, or in the case of ATA, the respective company.
