Sworn translation in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has quietly become one of Europe's favourite bases for remote work. Year-round spring weather, fast fibre, a European time zone and neighbourhoods like Las Canteras draw thousands of professionals every year — many arriving on Spain's Digital Nomad Visa with a folder of documents that must be officially translated into Spanish before any Spanish authority will accept them.

At Textualia we work with residents and newcomers in Gran Canaria entirely online: upload your document, see the final price straight away and, once you pay, receive your sworn translation as an electronically signed PDF — fully valid before the Las Palmas immigration office, the Government Delegation in the Canary Islands, registries and notaries. If your procedure needs paper, we send the copy on official State-stamped paper by courier anywhere on the island.

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

• The Las Palmas immigration office (Extranjería) and the Government Delegation in the Canary Islands (residence, visas, NIE, TIE).
• The Civil Registry of Las Palmas (births, marriages, nationality).
• Notaries and Land Registries on the island (property purchase, powers of attorney, inheritance).
• Universities such as the ULPGC and the Canary Islands education authorities (degree recognition).
• Courts and any public body across the rest of Spain.

• Digital Nomad Visa: apostilled criminal-record certificate (FBI, ACRO, B3…) and often your degree or employment contract, translated into Spanish.
• Non-lucrative residence and family reunification.
• Recognition of foreign degrees before the ULPGC or other universities.
• Property purchase and setting up companies with foreign partners.
• Marriage in Spain and registration of births.
• Spanish nationality by residence.

Spain's international teleworking permit — the legal basis of the digital nomad route — requires an apostilled criminal-record certificate: the FBI check if you come from the United States, the ACRO certificate from the United Kingdom, the B3 extract from France. Your university degree or employment contract are often needed too. All of these must be submitted translated into Spanish by a sworn translator for the Large Companies Unit (UGE) to accept them.

We take care of that part: we translate the already-apostilled document, deliver it signed and ready to upload to your application and, if you need the paper version, it reaches Gran Canaria in a day or two. You focus on your appointment and your move; we handle the language.
