💡 Did you know?

Dos Hermanas is a welcoming Spanish city where many international couples settle and manage their paperwork together.

What Spain Usually Requires

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

To be accepted in Spain, your U.S. marriage certificate should:

  • Be a certified copy issued by the state where the marriage took place (not just a church certificate).
  • Be recent — many Spanish offices prefer documents issued within the last 3–6 months.
  • Be apostilled in the U.S. by the correct Secretary of State (the same state that issued the certificate).
  • Be translated into Spanish by a MAEC-authorized sworn translator (Un traductor jurado).

👉 If you don’t have a recent certified copy, we can guide you to order one from the state’s Vital Records office (or via VitalChek) and then send it to us for apostille.

When Do You Need an Apostilled Marriage Certificate?

Spanish authorities may request your marriage certificate when you are:

  • Registering your marriage in Spain (inscripción de matrimonio)
  • Applying for residency or a family member of EU citizen card
  • Doing family reunification
  • Applying for Spanish citizenship through marriage
  • Handling inheritance or property matters as a married couple

Because Spain is part of the Convenio de La Haya, your U.S. marriage certificate must be apostilled in the EE.UU. before Spain will accept it.

How Tu Apostilla Handles Your Case

We take the hassle out of document legalization

01

Document Check

You upload or tell us where the marriage was registered (state + county).

We confirm what version Spain will accept.

02

Apostille in the U.S.

We submit your certified marriage certificate to the corresponding Secretary of State for apostille.

This is what makes it legally recognizable in Spain.

03

Sworn Spanish Translation

Because Spanish authorities work in Spanish, we coordinate a una vez with a translator authorized by the MAEC..

This is the only type of translation Spanish government offices will accept.

04

Delivery to Dos Hermanas or Anywhere in Spain

Once complete, we send your apostilled + sworn-translated marriage certificate to your address in Dos Hermanas, to your lawyer/gestoría, or to a U.S. address — all by tracked courier.

Why This Matters for Couples in Spain

Spain is strict about foreign civil status documents. Showing only the U.S. marriage certificate is usually not enough — it must be:

  1. official,
  2. apostilled, and
  3. translated by a sworn translator.

That’s why many lawyers and gestorías in Spain work with us — we do the U.S. side that can’t be done from Spain.
