Testimonials for the Spanish Consulate


Although I'm not a Spanish "sworn translator", I have had many clients applying to the Spanish consulate in San Francisco, and nobody has ever had a problem using my translations without notarization. See testimonials below. My understanding is that if you're applying to a government agency in Spain, then you do need a sworn translator or apostille on my translator certification... but not for the consulate here in San Francisco.

Curtis Draves translated all of the documents required by the Spanish Consulate for my family of four. The turnaround was quick, price reasonable and accepted (without question) by the official we worked with in San Francisco.
