Sworn translation in Salamanca

Few cities depend on their university quite like Salamanca. The University of Salamanca, the oldest in Spain, has already marked its eighth century, and its academic calendar sets the rhythm of the whole city. When term begins, the Plaza Mayor, the bookshops of Calle Libreros and the lecture halls of the UNESCO-listed old town fill with students from the United States, Brazil, France and China. Nearly all of them run into the same hurdle before they can enrol, have a degree recognised or apply for a student card: they need a sworn translation of their documents.

Textualia works with students, researchers and residents in Salamanca entirely online. Upload your document, see the final price on the spot and, the moment you pay, receive your sworn translation as an electronically signed PDF — fully valid before the University of Salamanca, the immigration office and every other Spanish authority. If your procedure calls for paper, we courier the copy on official State-stamped paper to any address in the city or the province.

A sworn translation signed by a translator accredited by Spain's MAEC is valid throughout Spain. For our clients in Salamanca, we routinely submit it to:

• The University of Salamanca and the Pontifical University (enrolment, master's admission, recognition and validation of studies).
• The Salamanca immigration office (Extranjería) and the Government Subdelegation (student stay, NIE, TIE, residence authorisations).
• The Civil Registry of Salamanca (births, marriages, nationality).
• The Regional Government of Castile and León and the regional education authorities.
• Notaries and registries across the province, courts and any other public body elsewhere in Spain.

• University admission and enrolment: academic transcripts, diplomas and grade certificates translated into Spanish for the USAL.
• Recognition and validation of foreign degrees before the Ministry or the university.
• Student stay and its renewal before the immigration office.
• Apostilled criminal-record certificate (FBI from the US, ACRO from the UK, B3 from France) for later residence or work.
• Marriage in Spain and registration of births at the Civil Registry.
• Spanish nationality through residence and family reunification.

Salamanca is more than a university — it is one of the world's great places to learn Spanish. Each summer the International Courses fill the city with students who come for a few weeks and end up staying a whole year, and that leap, from a language course to official enrolment, is exactly where the first real paperwork appears. The University of Salamanca requires foreign degrees and grade transcripts translated into Spanish by a sworn translator; without that signature, the registry office won't open your file. If you come from outside the European Union, add the student stay before the immigration office, which often also asks for your apostilled criminal-record certificate.

That part is ours to handle. We translate the already-apostilled document and return it as a signed PDF, ready to upload to the USAL portal or attach to your immigration application; if they ask for paper, it reaches Salamanca within a day or two by courier. The bureaucracy gets sorted in time, so you can get on with finding a flat near the Tormes and starting classes.
