FAQ / PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES
Questions worth answering honestly.
Grouped by what's actually on your mind — legal validity, turnaround, delivery, payment and confidentiality.
Legal validity
Will a sworn translation from Amazing Translations be accepted by Spanish authorities?
Sworn translations are produced by a translator accredited by the Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores (MAEC) and carry that translator's seal and signature, which is what Spanish civil registries, universities and notaries require. Each translation is delivered ready to submit.
Do you translate documents for use outside Spain?
Yes. We regularly prepare translations for UK, Gibraltar and Moroccan authorities, as well as EU institutions. Tell us the receiving country when you order or request a quote, so we can confirm any extra formatting or legalisation it needs.
Turnaround
How long does a translation take?
Standard turnaround is 24–48 business hours from confirmation of your order or quote. A 24-hour rush service is available for an additional fee.
Can you meet a same-day deadline?
For short standard documents, often yes — call the Algeciras office and we'll confirm same-day capacity before you order.
Delivery format
How is my translation delivered?
As a signed, sealed PDF by e-mail. A posted hard copy is available for Spain or the rest of the EU as a paid delivery option, for documents that require the physical seal in hand.
I need the physical document for a Spanish office. Is a PDF enough?
Most Spanish institutions now accept an e-signed PDF for sworn translations; some still ask for the physical seal. If you're not sure which your office needs, order both — the postal option is priced at checkout.
Payment
What does "+IVA" mean on your prices?
All prices on this site are shown before Spanish VAT (IVA), currently 21%. The IVA amount is calculated and shown separately at checkout or on your quote, never hidden in the headline price.
How do I pay?
Fixed-price orders are paid at checkout — bank transfer / pay on invoice is the default option. Bespoke quotes are invoiced once you confirm the project.
Confidentiality
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. Every project — ordered online or quoted — is handled under confidentiality, and an NDA is available on request for sensitive legal, medical or corporate work.
What happens to my documents after delivery?
We keep a copy on file to support the free 14-day correction window and for your own records if you need a duplicate later. You can request deletion at any time — see our Privacy Policy.
