Spanish translation in Luxembourg

Luxembourg is home to many residents from Spain, as well as Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Venezuela. Many work in finance, research, hospitality or the European institutions, and need their documents recognised in the Grand Duchy.

Our native translators know the variants of Spanish and the documents specific to each country: libro de familia, partida de nacimiento, acta de matrimonio. They translate into French or German, as a sworn translation when the authority requires it.

Spanish documents are often exempt from the apostille within the EU. For a document from Latin America, an apostille from the country of origin is generally required before translation: we confirm this before we start.

Spanish nationals are among Luxembourg’s regular newcomers: 951 people of Spanish nationality settled in the country in 2024, 3.7% of that year’s immigration, according to STATEC.

Spanish certificates: the EU multilingual form

For a Spanish birth, marriage or death certificate used in Luxembourg, Regulation (EU) 2016/1191 removes the apostille and lets you ask the Registro Civil for a multilingual standard form attached to the certificate, which can make translation unnecessary. We tell you whether your procedure accepts it; if not, we provide the sworn translation.

Documents from Latin America

Mexico, Colombia and Argentina apply the Hague Apostille Convention: their documents are apostilled in the country of origin, then translated. Our sworn translation also covers the apostille itself, which is written in Spanish.
