Sworn Translator of Spanish Language in Poland
Spanish covers more than 20 countries with different legal systems and document traditions. The LEGIX sworn translator of Spanish language works daily with documents from both Spain and Latin American countries — taking into account differences in legal terminology, apostille requirements and legalisation procedures for each country.
Latin American documents: apostille and legalisation for Poland
The key difference when working with Latin American documents is the varying status of countries under the Hague Apostille Convention. Most countries (Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador) are signatories — documents from these countries only need an apostille followed by a sworn translation. Cuba, however, is not a party to the Hague Convention, and its documents require consular legalisation. We advise clients on the procedure for each country before starting work.
Spanish and Latin American documents for Polish institutions
Citizens of Spain and Latin America applying for a residence permit in Poland translate passports, birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates, and educational documents. Polish civil registry offices accept foreign civil documents with a sworn translation.
Educational documents:
Spanish and Latin American diplomas, expediente académico — for NAWA
Identity documents:
Spanish DNI, Latin American passports, refugee documents
Legal documents:
poderes notariales, resoluciones judiciales — with apostille or legalisation
Corporate documents:
escritura social S.L./S.A., registros mercantiles, estados financieros
Venezuelan documents — a special case: due to the socioeconomic situation, many Venezuelan nationals have outdated or damaged documents. We work with documents in any condition — noting in the translation which parts are legible and providing necessary explanations.
Nostrification of Spanish and Latin American diplomas
Spanish and Latin American diplomas can be nostrified in Poland through NAWA. A sworn translation of the diploma and academic transcript (expediente académico) is required. Spanish degrees (Licenciado, Grado, Máster, Doctor) are well known to NAWA, making the nostrification process relatively straightforward.
For Latin American diplomas, NAWA conducts an individual assessment — evaluating the programme and the institution's recognition. We translate the document package as completely as possible to support a successful assessment.
Medical diplomas (médico, dentista, farmacéutico) for professional registration in Poland are translated with a full understanding of Spanish and Latin American medical terminology.
Spanish corporate documents and business translations
Spanish companies (S.L., S.A.) and Latin American corporations entering the Polish market need sworn translations of founding documents, commercial registry extracts and financial statements.
Powers of attorney (poderes notariales) from Spanish and Latin American notaries are translated for use in property transactions, inheritance matters and corporate operations in Poland.
For opening a bank account in Poland for a foreign Spanish or Latin American company — we translate the entire registration package within a single order.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Send a scan of your document from Spain or Latin America — we will reply with a price, timeline and apostille recommendations.
Spain is a party to the Hague Convention, so Spanish birth certificates can be apostilled. In most cases, an apostille is required for a Polish civil registry office. We will clarify based on your specific situation.
