Spanish documents attestation for use in other countries?

What is the process for Spanish documents attestation for use in other Hague Apostille Convention member countries?

Spanish documents intended for use in any Hague Apostille Convention country require a Spanish Apostille. This process replaces traditional embassy attestation.

1. Verify the Original Document

Ensure the document is issued by a recognized authority in Spain, such as:

• Civil Registry

• Ministry of Education

• Universities

• Police Department

• Notary Public

• Commercial Registry

2. Get the Document Notarized (If Required)

Some documents require a Spanish Notary Public verification before an apostille. Examples:

• Power of Attorney

• Affidavits

• Commercial contracts

3. Obtain the Apostille from Spain

An Apostille is issued by the Spanish Ministry of Justice or an authorized regional authority. The apostille confirms:

• Authenticity of signature

• The capacity of the official who signed the document

• Validity of stamps/seals

4. Use the Apostilled Document in any Hague-Convention country

Once apostilled, the document is legally valid in all Hague Apostille Convention member countries, such as:

• France

• Germany

• Italy

• Netherlands

• Portugal

• UK

• USA

• Australia

• India

• Greece

• Belgium

• And 100+ more countries

Same countries. No embassy attestation is required after an apostille.

5. Translation (If required in the destination country)

Some countries require documents to be in their official language. For example:

• France → French

• Germany → German

• Portugal → Portuguese
