Driving licence (permiso de conducir) - Spain issues EU-format driving licences with standardised category codes (AM, A1, A2, A, B, C1, C, D1, D, BE, CE, DE). Our translators are familiar with the EU card layout and translate all categories, issue dates and endorsements into certified English.
Birth certificate (certificado de nacimiento) - Issued by the Registro Civil. Spanish birth certificates include the full name, parents' details, place and date of birth, and the registrar's seal. We translate both the standard and the literal (literal) extract formats.
Marriage certificate (certificado de matrimonio) - Issued by the Registro Civil or the church parish for religious marriages. We translate both civil and religious marriage certificates from Spain.
Police check (certificado de antecedentes penales) - Issued by the Ministerio de Justicia. This certificate confirms whether you have any criminal convictions recorded in Spain. Required for most Australian visa applications.
Academic transcript and diploma - Spanish university degrees (titulo universitario) and academic records issued by universities and the Ministerio de Educacion. We translate both the official degree certificate and the full academic transcript.
Death certificate (certificado de defuncion) - Issued by the Registro Civil. Required for estate administration, insurance claims and pension transfers involving Spanish nationals in Australia.
Passport and national ID (DNI) - The Documento Nacional de Identidad is Spain's primary identification card. We translate both the DNI and Spanish passport biographical pages.
Medical reports and vaccination records - Spanish medical documents from hospitals and clinics, including vaccination booklets (cartilla de vacunacion) required for healthcare worker visa applications.
Power of attorney (poder notarial) - Notarised powers of attorney from Spanish notarios. We translate the full document including the notarial attestation and apostille if present.
Common situations for Spanish nationals in Australia
Working Holiday Visa (subclass 462) - Spain is an eligible country for Australia's Working Holiday Visa programme. You'll typically need your police check (certificado de antecedentes penales) and driving licence translated. Many Spanish WHV holders work in hospitality, agriculture and tourism across regional Australia.
Student visa applications - Spanish students applying to Australian universities or TAFE colleges need their academic transcripts, diplomas and sometimes birth certificates translated. Australian institutions require NAATI-certified translations of all non-English academic documents.
Partner and spouse visa (subclasses 309/820) - If your partner is Australian and you're providing Spanish identity documents, birth certificates or police checks as supporting evidence, each document must be accompanied by a NAATI-certified English translation.
Driving licence conversion - Spanish EU-format driving licences are widely held by travellers and new residents in Australia. Every state transport authority requires a NAATI-certified translation for both temporary driving (with your original licence) and full licence conversion.
Tips for documents from Spain
EU-format driving licence - Spain's permiso de conducir follows the standardised EU card format with numbered fields (1–15). Field 9 lists vehicle categories, field 10 the issue date and field 11 the expiry. Our translators are trained on the EU licence layout and translate every field accurately.
Apostille from the Ministerio de Justicia - Since Spain is a Hague Convention member, most official documents carry an apostille (Apostilla de La Haya). If your document has an apostille attached, upload it with your document - we include the apostille translation at no additional cost.
Registro Civil documents - Birth, marriage and death certificates from Spain's Registro Civil come in several formats: extracto (short form), literal (long form) and plurilingue (multilingual). For Australian immigration purposes, the literal extract is usually required. We translate all formats.
DNI and NIE numbers - Spanish documents often include the DNI (Documento Nacional de Identidad) number for citizens or the NIE (Numero de Identidad de Extranjero) for foreign residents. These identification numbers appear across multiple document types and are preserved exactly in the translation.
