Apostille by Destination Country
Spain has belonged to the Hague Apostille Convention since 1978, so Maryland documents for Spain take a Maryland apostille rather than embassy legalization. A Spanish sworn translation may also be required, and we coordinate both parts.

For Spain we coordinate notarization, clerk certification for notarized documents, the Maryland Secretary of State apostille, the federal apostille for records such as federal background checks, and tracked delivery. Spanish translation is arranged around the receiving office standard, whether that is a sworn translation or a translation prepared here with a notarized, apostilled translator affidavit, and consultations are available in Spanish.
The chain runs from document preparation and notarization through any clerk certification to the state or federal apostille, with translation scheduled so the finished set arrives together, followed by delivery to Spain. Multi-document citizenship and genealogy files take longer than a single record, and we confirm a current staged estimate at booking.
Spain is a Hague member, so the apostille is the legalization step for Maryland documents and no separate embassy process is added. Spanish offices such as the Registro Civil and the education ministry set their own translation and filing standards, and the authority reviewing your file decides what it requires.

Many Spanish offices do, typically a translation by an officially sworn translator, while some accept a translation prepared here whose translator affidavit is notarized and apostilled with the source. Ask the receiving office which standard it applies before we order the translation.
Yes. We coordinate apostilles for supporting civil and genealogical records such as birth and marriage certificates, and for federal background checks that take the federal apostille route. The Spanish authority reviewing the file decides which documents it requires.
A single record is governed mainly by the apostille queue and delivery, while a citizenship file with several records and sworn translation takes longer at each stage. We confirm a realistic, current estimate for your set of documents when you book.
