Documentation for immigration procedures
We bring together the guides on the documentation you need for each procedure: passport, criminal record certificate, padrón registration, contracts, financial means and their legalisation or apostille and sworn translation. We explain which documents are required, how to obtain them and how to prepare them to avoid having your file rejected.
- Criminal record certificate with apostille and sworn translation for immigration

We explain step by step how to do it correctly and avoid having your file refused over a badly legalised document.
