Attention to detail matters, and so does experience

Here at MotaWord, we’re experts at translating Spanish to English because our translators bring in their native prowess to the table. We employ native Spanish speakers from countries such as Mexico, Venezuela, Spain, Chile, and Argentina, among others.

That’s why we understand that translation is about more than just swapping words. It is also about capturing culture. And that’s something our multicultural, multilingual team understands as well. For example, in Spanish, we love the word sobremesa, which is the time spent talking with family and friends after a meal is shared.

That’s why we know that not only language, approval, or a new life in the U.S. are at stake: it’s your identity that’s at stake.

Spanish Documents We Translate Daily

The USCIS handles immigration in the United States. The organization seeks to promptly review the personal documents of all applicants. And this is something they take very seriously. More than that, it’s something the organization has to process as fast as possible to keep the operation efficient. That’s why the government is notoriously strict about formatting and wording requirements and standards for certified translations.

Meeting these standards is something we at MotaWord excel at. Our official Spanish translation services specialize in the exact document types issued by Spanish-speaking governments worldwide, ensuring full compliance with CFR 103.2(b)(3) standards.

We translate everything from Spanish marriage certificates to academic and legal records with consistent accuracy and fast turnaround times.

Document Name (Spanish) English Equivalent
Acta de Nacimiento Birth Certificate
Certificado de Matrimonio Marriage Certificate
Antecedentes Penales Police Clearance / Background Check
Título de Bachiller High School Diploma
Certificado de Divorcio Divorce Decree
Notas Universitarias Academic Transcripts
Poder Notarial Power of Attorney
