Do you need a translation of a Family Record Book?

The Sworn Translation of a Family Record Book is essential whether it’s for marriages, divorces or births where one of the parents is a foreigner with citizenship in a country that does not speak Spanish.

Official Sworn Translation

A Sworn Official Translation is a special translation that can only be carried out by a Sworn Translator authorised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE), who will seal the translation making it 100% valid in all of Spain.

Family Record Book

The Family Record Book records and proves the relationship of kinship between a couple and also between parents and children. It is provided free of charge at the time of marriage or at the time of registration of a child if the parents are not married.

A Family Record book is needed for various procedures such as:

  • Marriages, separations, divorces
  • Wills and inheritance
  • Getting a National Identity Document or passport for a minor
  • Maternity leave, discharge of children from the social security card or registration at the place of residence
  • Requesting a place in a nursery or a public or concerted school
  • Unemployment benefit claim
  • Benefits for large families

Do I need a Sworn Translation of my Family Record Book?

You will need a Sworn Translation of your Family Record Book whenever it is needed for a procedure in Spain and has been written in a language other than Spanish.

The same applies if your Family Record Book was written in Spanish and you need to present it in China or Russia for example.
