Why You Need an Apostilled Birth Certificate for Spain

A birth certificate is a vital record often required when you:

  • Apply for Spanish residency or citizenship
  • Register a marriage or civil partnership in Spain
  • Enroll a child in school or university
  • Apply for family reunification or visa sponsorship
  • Manage inheritance or legal processes abroad

Because Spain is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, your U.S. document must carry an apostille to prove its authenticity.

What Makes a Birth Certificate Valid for Apostille

Express NIE is your top source for apostille and sworn translations in Spain.

Not all U.S. birth certificates are automatically eligible for apostille.

To be accepted by the U.S. Secretary of State (and later by Spanish authorities), your document must:

  • Be an official, certified copy issued by the Vital Records Office in the state where the birth occurred.
  • Bear the signature and seal of the State Registrar.
  • Be issued within the last 12 months (many countries, including Spain, prefer recent copies).

If you only have an older or uncertified copy, Tu Apostilla can help you request a new certified version directly from your state’s records office through VitalChek or similar services.

The Tu Apostilla Process — Simple and Efficient

We take the guesswork out of your documents.

01

Request or Submit Your Birth Certificate

If you don’t have a certified copy, we’ll guide you in ordering one from your state’s Vital Records Office.

You can also list Tu Apostilla as the shipping recipient when ordering online.

02

Apostille in the U.S.

Once we receive your document, we process the apostille through the appropriate Secretary of State (depending on where it was issued).
For federal or multi-state cases, we coordinate directly with the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.

This ensures your apostilled birth certificate is valid for presentation in Spain and other Hague member countries.

03

Sworn Spanish Translation

Spanish authorities almost always require an official Spanish translation (traducción jurada).

We work with MAEC-authorized sworn translators, whose translations are legally recognized throughout Spain by:

– Immigration offices (Extranjería)
– Civil registries (Registro Civil)
– Courts and notaries
– Universities and ministries

04

Delivery to Spain

Your apostilled and translated document is shipped securely to your address in Cadiz, or anywhere in Spain or the United States.

We offer tracked international delivery and provide digital copies for your records.
