Sworn translation in A Coruña

A Coruña faces the Atlantic from the Tower of Hercules, and a little more of the wider world each year. This is Inditex country — Zara's headquarters sit in the Sabón industrial estate, in neighbouring Arteixo, drawing talent from half the planet — home to a Universidade da Coruña full of exchange students and foreign faculty, and to a Latin American and Portuguese community with deep roots in its streets and its port. Add the steady trickle of professionals now working remotely from here for the mild weather, the quality of life and fibre that simply works. Sooner or later, nearly all of them hit the same wall: a folder of foreign documents that no Spanish authority will touch until a sworn translator has signed off on them.

Textualia works with residents and newcomers in A Coruña entirely online. Upload your document, see the final price on the spot and, once you pay, get your sworn translation as an electronically signed PDF — fully valid before the A Coruña immigration office, the Government Sub-delegation, registries, notaries and the UDC itself. Need it on paper? We courier the copy on official State-stamped paper to anywhere in the city or the province.

A sworn translation signed by a translator accredited by Spain's MAEC is valid throughout Spain. For clients in A Coruña, we use it routinely before:

• The A Coruña immigration office (Extranjería) and the Government Sub-delegation (residence, visas, NIE, TIE).
• The Civil Registry of A Coruña (births, marriages, nationality).
• Notaries and Land Registries across the city and the province (property sales, powers of attorney, inheritance).
• The Universidade da Coruña (UDC) and the education authorities of the Xunta de Galicia (enrolment, credit equivalence and degree recognition).
• Courts and any public body anywhere else in Spain.
• If the document is bound for use outside Spain, check first what kind of translation that authority expects: our certification covers Spanish territory.

• Digital Nomad Visa: apostilled criminal-record certificate (FBI in the US, ACRO in the UK, B3 in France) and often your degree or contract, translated into Spanish.
• Recognition and equivalence of foreign degrees before the UDC or other Galician universities.
• International hiring at local employers (Inditex and its supplier network in Arteixo): qualifications, certificates and employment paperwork.
• Residence and family reunification for the Latin American and Portuguese community.
• Getting married in Spain and registering births at the Civil Registry.
• Spanish nationality through residence.

A Coruña is a company town and a campus town at once. The Inditex orbit — Zara's headquarters out in Sabón, in Arteixo, plus a supplier network that moves people from across Europe and the Americas — brings in professionals every year who need to translate their degrees, certificates and employment papers into Spanish to sign a contract or regularise their status. Alongside it, the Universidade da Coruña takes in exchange students and foreign faculty who, to enrol or have credits recognised, must hand over transcripts and diplomas with a sworn translation.

Layered onto that are the Latin American and Portuguese community, long tied to the port and the old town, and the new remote workers who pick the city for its pace and its coastline. For any of them, we translate the already-apostilled document where needed, deliver it signed and ready to upload to the application and, if your procedure calls for paper, it reaches A Coruña in a day or two. One caveat worth flagging: this validity applies within Spain; if the document is headed for another country, confirm first what kind of translation that authority requires.
