The claim, in writing

Every part of this job leads to one signed sentence: the Spanish says what the source says. That claim is dated and signed by a named translator, and it is attached to the text it covers. Without it, you have a helpful rendering that no office can rely on. With it, the file has an author who can be identified and asked.

Spanish that matches, not Spanish that improves

A good official translation resists the urge to tidy. If a Scottish certificate uses an old form of a place name, the Spanish keeps it and does not modernise. If a title is odd, it stays odd. An official Spanish translation in Glasgow is judged against the source, so any improvement is really a mismatch waiting to be spotted at a Dominican desk.

  • Names exactly as printed, with a note where two of your papers disagree.
  • Dates written out, so day and month cannot be swapped.
  • Stamps and seals described in place, not silently dropped.

Days and money

Standard work runs 2–3 business days from a legible scan and the express route closes in 24 hours. The rate is £25 a page. Because the certificate of accuracy is part of the standard job and not an add-on, the figure you agree at the quote is the figure you pay, whichever route you pick.
