Your document checklist

Every document for your visa, flagged where an apostille or a sworn translation is needed — the two things that quietly add weeks if you discover them late.

Your application

The list adjusts to who is applying.

Tick items off as you gather them — ticks aren't saved, so print or screenshot when you're done.

Aneeds an apostille Tneeds a sworn translation
This is the standard list — individual consulates add their own quirks (extra copies, specific formats, their own order of documents), and your situation may need documents that aren't here. Every application we handle gets a checklist built for the specific consulate and case; treat this one as your head start.

The two flags that cost weeks

Almost every delayed application traces back to one of these.

A

Apostille

An international certification stamped onto the original document in the country that issued it. Order it early — some registries take weeks, and you can't apostille a document from abroad without help.

T

Sworn translation

A translation by a traductor jurado accredited by the Spanish government — an ordinary translation is rejected. Ours are included in your service fee up to the stated amount.

90

Expiry dates

Criminal records, medical certificates and civil certificates are usually only accepted when recently issued — often 90 days. Sequence the slow documents first, the perishable ones last.

Rather not project-manage paperwork?

We build the exact checklist for your consulate, review every document before it's submitted, and handle the translations.
