Get your U.S. documents authenticated and officially prepared for use in Spain.
Identify the U.S. documents needed for your visa or residency (such as your FBI background check, birth or marriage certificates, or academic credentials). In Las Vegas? Get fingerprinted for your FBI Background Check at our Summerlin location. Results in as low as 30 minutes. If you already have your documents, proceed directly to Step 2.
Upload your FBI background check PDF or images of your vital records and academic documents to our secure online form. Our specialists will review them to ensure they meet strict Spain visa and immigration guidelines before you send us any physical documents.
Once verified, drop off your physical vital records, diplomas, or transcripts at our Las Vegas office, or mail your original certified copies to us using a tracked service (FedEx, UPS, or DHL). Note: FBI background checks can be submitted digitally if you have the official PDF; however, if you have a physical copy, it must be mailed or dropped off.
Once authenticated, we compile your apostilles along with official Spanish Sworn Translations (Traducción Jurada) recognized by Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC). Pick up your completed package from our office, or have it shipped securely to your home or office via tracked FedEx or DHL (international shipping available).
While Spain visa applications require other supporting items (such as proof of income and medical certificates), these are the most common U.S.-issued documents that must be officially apostilled and translated before your BLS appointment.
Your documents must be apostilled by the specific state where they were issued, regardless of where your Spain consulate is.
We offer simultaneous processing for all 50 states, ensuring your entire document package complies with your specific BLS center's jurisdiction guidelines.
We authenticate vital, academic, and corporate records from all 50 states for legal use in Spain.
An apostille for Spain is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of U.S. public documents (such as FBI background checks, birth certificates, and marriage certificates) for use in Spain. Since both the United States and Spain are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Hague apostille is the only legal certification required by Spain authorities.
For state-issued vital records (birth, marriage, or divorce certificates), the apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State where the document was originally recorded. For federal documents like FBI Background Checks, the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
Because consulates and visa application centers are highly strict, your document packages must be completely free of errors. Most foreign consulates require a certified or sworn translation of all U.S. documents. Attempting to submit standard translations, un-notarized diplomas, or background checks older than 90 days will result in your visa application being rejected.
At iPride Notary, we handle the entire process. We manage the domestic state-level and federal-level apostille routing, timing it perfectly to respect validity timelines, and provide officially recognized certified translations.
Expedited processing for documents issued by any U.S. state (e.g. birth, marriage, and death certificates, academic diplomas, transcripts, or notarized legal documents). We offer complete local and online notary services if your document requires it first.
Expedited Authentication/Apostille at the U.S. Department of State in Washington D.C. for federal agency documents such as U.S Court Documents, Certificate of Naturalization, Petition for Name Change, DD214, FBI Background check and more.
Expedited federal legalization for FBI background check reports. Upload your original federal PDF report directly to our secure server, and we will handle the Washington D.C. routing to deliver your apostille in 16 days.
Spain requires all U.S. documents to be translated by a MAEC-certified translator (Traducción Jurada) before visa submission. We provide official sworn translations recognized by all Spanish consulates and BLS centers.
