Requirements vary between authorities. Always confirm with the receiving authority before ordering.
A Spanish notario handling a property purchase typically requires sworn translations of UK identity documents. This often includes a birth certificate and may include a marriage or divorce certificate to confirm marital status and ownership rights.
You will need a NIE (Numero de Identidad de Extranjero) before the purchase can complete. Your solicitor or gestor can advise on the application process.
Notarios commonly require apostilles on the original UK documents alongside sworn translations. Confirm requirements with your Spanish abogado or notario before ordering.
