In April 2020, the government body regulating sworn translation in Spain (OIL) made an official announcement confirming that digital sworn translations can be accepted as valid in Spain, as long as they are signed electronically by using one of the authorised certification service providers.
The process of obtaining this electronic signature certificate requires physically proving your identity at an office. Due to the pandemic and travelling restrictions, going to Spain has not been particularly easy within the last year, hence my ‘delay’ in fulfilling this additional requirement.
I am happy to finally announce that ICR Translations sworn translation service now includes Spanish digital sworn translations (valid for online procedures) by default, apart from traditional hard copy translations (valid for in-person and postal procedures).
