Why Apostille is needed for Spain

Spain has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since September 25, 1978. Indian public documents must carry an official MEA Apostille sticker to be legally recognized by Spanish authorities — including Extranjería (immigration), ANECA (degree recognition), Registro Civil, the Spanish Embassy in New Delhi, and Spanish Consulate General in Mumbai — without any further embassy legalization.

Apostille is required for every major application in Spain — student visas, the Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, Work Permit (Autorización de Trabajo), family reunification (Reagrupación Familiar), NIE registration, and business setup. Without it, your application will be delayed or rejected by Spanish authorities.

Is Translation Required for Apostille for Spain?

Since Spanish (Castilian) is the official language of Spain, translation is required if your documents are in English, Hindi, or any other non-Spanish language. This applies when:

Your documents are in English, an Indian regional language, or any non-Spanish language.
They include degrees, certificates, marriage/birth records, PCCs, or legal/commercial papers.
A Spanish authority — such as Extranjería, ANECA, a university, employer, or Registro Civil — requests a certified Spanish translation.

We also provide certified translations for the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Netherlands Apostille process — and for any other country worldwide.
