What Argentina asks for
Argentine offices work in Spanish. A birth record, a degree or a police check written in English is read as a foreign paper until a Spanish version sits beside it. That version has to be certified, so the desk can see who wrote it and stand it up.
You order a certified translation into Spanish in Liverpool and keep the paper itself at home. Only the words move. The English record stays in your hands, and the Spanish text is a new sheet that goes with it when you file.
The Spanish text and the note of accuracy
The Spanish text is set out to match the source page. Every stamp, seal and hand-signed line is noted where it stands. Numbers are carried across as they are, so a date or a file number never shifts by a digit.
Then comes the note of accuracy. The translator states, in writing, that the Spanish matches the English, and signs it. The credential behind that signature is a qualified certified translator, the standard this route asks for, with no court oath in play.
Per-page cost and turnaround
Cost runs at about £25 a page. A page here means a page of the source paper, not a word count, so a two-sided form is two pages. Short civil records land at the low end of that scale, while a long transcript sits at the top.
Standard work takes 2–3 business days from the moment a clear scan lands. If a court date or a flight is close, the express lane closes in 24 hours. Speed is set by the page count, not by the country the file is bound for.
Where the paper starts in Liverpool
Most files start with the source paper itself, so it pays to know where yours came from. Liverpool Register Office holds the civil records for the city and issues certified copies of births, marriages and deaths. It sits in St George's Hall, St George's Place, Liverpool L1 1JJ.
If you hold only one copy, order a fresh certified copy there and let that one travel. The original then never leaves your hands. We work from a scan either way, so the paper can stay on your shelf while the Spanish text is drafted.
