Translation & Apostille in Valencia
Valencian Community
Valencia's translation volume is driven by first-time arrivals: the documents needed to open a life here rather than to close a legal case. Birth and marriage certificates, criminal-record certificates, proof of income and, for families, school records — each needing an apostille from the issuing country and a sworn translation into Spanish.
Valencian is co-official and appears on regional documents, though the Spanish version is normally obtainable on request. The larger Valencia-specific factor is the Digital Nomad Visa caseload: those applications lean heavily on contracts, client letters and income evidence issued abroad, and the question of which of them need sworn translation rather than a plain one is where budgets are usually overspent.

Questions about this service
Do all my Digital Nomad Visa documents need sworn translation?
No, and assuming so is expensive. Official documents issued by a public authority generally do; commercial documents like contracts and client letters sometimes require only a certified or plain translation depending on the receiving body. Confirm the list before ordering — sworn translation is priced per page.
How long is a criminal-record certificate valid for?
Spanish immigration procedures generally expect one issued recently, and the acceptable window is shorter than people assume. Ordering it too early — before the rest of the file is ready — is a common way to have to order and translate it twice.
