If you or a loved one are planning a move abroad — whether it’s to sunny Spain, beautiful Portugal, or another international destination — you may be surprised to learn how often official translations are required for immigration, residency, or property transactions.
The Real-Life Scenario: Buying a Dream Home in Spain
Imagine this: you are ready to purchase your dream property on the coast of Spain. You’ve handled the financing and found the perfect villa, but suddenly, a new requirement appears: you must provide a translated, notarized, and apostilled version of your FBI background check.
This is where I can help make the process simple and stress-free.
Through my affiliation with Idiomatic USA, I can now connect clients with certified translators who are authorized by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs — ensuring that every translation meets the strict legal standards required in Spain.
And here’s the best part: if needed, translations can even be handled by a Spanish-sworn translator (traductor jurado) directly in Spain for full compliance.

Why Translations Matter for Apostilles and International Documents
Many countries — including Spain, France, and Italy — require official translations of U.S. documents when applying for visas, dual citizenship, or residency. Here’s why professional translations are crucial:
- Legal Compliance: Immigration offices and consulates only accept certified or sworn translations.
- Accuracy: Important details like names, dates, and seals must be translated precisely to avoid delays.
- Efficiency: Working with a trusted translation partner saves clients time and frustration.
When documents also need notarization and apostille certification, the process can seem overwhelming. That’s why I offer a complete solution — from notarizing signatures to coordinating translations and obtaining the required apostille.
Why Partnering with Idiomatic USA Makes a Difference
Idiomatic USA’s expert translators are not only certified in the U.S. but also backed by their sister branch in Spain. This international network ensures that your documents are accepted by foreign authorities with confidence and authenticity.
By partnering with them, I can help clients handle everything in one seamless process — from translation to final legalization — right here in Ventura County.
It’s Not Just Spain!
While Spain is a common destination for my clients, many embassies around the world — from Mexico and Brazil to France and Italy — have similar translation and apostille requirements.
Whether you need to translate a birth certificate, marriage license, academic record, or background check, I can help connect you with certified translators who understand the legal requirements of your destination country.
