Does my Spanish-language passport need translating?

Usually not, because the data page is already printed in English as well as Spanish. Spanish-only stamps or handwritten observations on other pages can be translated if a receiving authority asks for them.

Which Spanish DNI version do I have?

The current model is DNI 4.0, the EU-format card the Policía Nacional presented in June 2021. Older DNI 3.0 and DNIe cards may still be in use until they expire. We translate the printed data in the same way regardless of which version you hold.

How much is an ID card translation?

Upload both sides and select the pages that need translating. The order page shows the confirmed page count and total, at $59 AUD per page, before you pay.

Why are both my surnames shown?

Because they are printed on your document. We keep every surname exactly as printed, in the printed order, without applying a fixed paternal-first rule.

Can a translation be used to renew my Spanish passport or DNI?

No — consular and Policía Nacional renewal procedures ask for your current document and, where needed, a fresh civil registry certificate, not a translation of an existing ID.

Spanish Passport and National ID TranslationPasaporte, DNI, cédula de identidad

Spanish-language passports already print the main details in English on the data page, so the documents usually translated are national ID cards: Spain's DNI (the current DNI 4.0 EU-format card, presented in June 2021, or older DNI 3.0 and DNIe models still in circulation), Argentina's and Peru's DNI, the cédula of Colombia, Chile, Ecuador or Venezuela, and Mexico's INE voter card. Spain's DNI is issued by the Policía Nacional, and its passport by Policía Nacional units in Spain or by consulates abroad; we translate both sides of the card or the relevant passport pages, keeping ID numbers exactly as printed.

What this document contains

Issued in Spain and Latin America by the national identity or civil registry authority of each country — in Spain, the Dirección General de la Policía (Policía Nacional) issues the DNI and passports are issued in Spain by Policía Nacional documentation units and abroad by Spanish diplomatic and consular offices; elsewhere, authorities such as Argentina's RENAPER, Peru's RENIEC or Colombia's Registraduría. A certified translation reproduces every field below, including stamps, seals and handwritten notes.

Names, script and upload tips

Spanish-language names often include two surnames, but not always, and the order is not universally paternal-first — Spain allows parents to choose it. We keep every surname in the order printed on the card or passport, and can add a translator's note if your Australian records show only one surname; the translation does not itself establish which form your name should take.

Upload both sides of the ID card — the reverse carries issuing and other printed data
Keep the machine-readable zone and ID/support number sharp and unobscured by glare
Upload passport pages only if they contain Spanish-only stamps or handwritten entries; the printed data page is already in English
