Why Choose Wilmer Health for your Spanish Visa

Rated 4.9 / 5.0 based on 43 reviews

Why is a marriage or birth certificate needed for a Spanish visa application?

Marriage and birth certificates play an important role in proving your personal and family circumstances when applying for a Spanish visa. These documents help determine specific visa requirements, such as financial thresholds and eligibility for dependents. Whether you’re applying as a couple, as part of a family, or as a student, these certificates provide the necessary legal evidence to support your application and meet Spanish immigration regulations.

It’s always best to check with the specific Spanish consulate handling the application to confirm the exact requirements.

Why do these documents need an apostille and translation?

For documents like marriage and birth certificates to be accepted in Spain, they must go through a process called legalisation to confirm their authenticity. This involves:

Without these steps, your documents won’t be accepted as valid.

Can any translator be used?

No, not any translator can be used. The Spanish government requires documents to be translated by a Sworn Translator, who is officially recognised and authorised to provide certified translations. These translations include a seal and certification to confirm their validity for legal purposes in Spain.

Using a non-approved translator could result in delays or rejection of your visa application, so it’s essential to ensure the translator is officially recognised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a marriage or birth certificate for a Spanish visa application?

Marriage and birth certificates are required to prove your personal and family relationships. For example, a marriage certificate is needed if applying as a couple, as it reduces the financial requirements. Birth certificates are typically needed for minors or dependents under 18, or students whose parents are funding their studies.

In most cases, adults do not need to provide a birth certificate for a Spanish visa. However, it may be required in specific circumstances, such as proving parental sponsorship or in cases of dependent adults with special needs.

Yes, Spanish consulates often require updated certificates issued within the last three months to ensure the information is current and valid.

An apostille, issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), certifies that the document is authentic and can be legally used in Spain. Without it, your certificates will not be accepted.

Yes, all official documents for a Spanish visa must be translated into Spanish by a Sworn Translator approved by the Spanish government. This ensures the translation meets legal standards.

You can use your original certificate if it is recent (issued within three months). If it’s older, you may need to obtain a new one.

If you don’t have the required certificate, you’ll need to apply for a new one. Ensure it is legalised with an apostille and translated before submission.

No, only a Sworn Translator (traductor jurado) approved by the Spanish government can translate documents for Spanish visa applications. Using an unapproved translator could lead to your application being rejected.
