Documents, apostilles and fingerprinting

The paperwork from home, sorted in Vigo.

Moving to Spain, renewing residency or applying for nationality usually means official documents from your home country, apostilled and translated into Spanish. With our partner Tu Apostilla we arrange it all for you, with fingerprinting here in Vigo and one point of contact from start to finish.

One point of contact

No chasing agencies, embassies and translators on your own.

Spanish authorities often ask for documents from home: a criminal record check, birth or marriage certificates, degrees, powers of attorney. Each one may need a Hague Apostille and a sworn translation, and getting that wrong can cost weeks.

We work with Tu Apostilla, international document and apostille specialists, so you deal with us and we coordinate the rest. Fingerprints are taken in Vigo, so there’s no trip to Madrid.

Prices are Tu Apostilla’s, set in US dollars and charged in euros at the exchange rate on the day you pay. Timescales depend on the FBI, the US Department of State and the other authorities, and the US apostille can’t be sped up. Physical delivery of documents can be arranged separately.
