For the digital nomad residence permit renewal procedure, all documents are translated into Spanish and submitted online in electronic format (high-quality color scans of originals + translations).
For some documents, a jurado translation is mandatory — this is a translation into Spanish performed and certified by a sworn translator from the official registry of translators.
An apostille is placed on original official documents for international use:
education diploma
marriage certificate (exception — documents from the Russian Federation)
birth certificate (exception — documents from the Russian Federation)
company registration document
criminal record certificate
According to a bilateral agreement between Spain and Russia, certificates issued by the Russian Federation's ZAGS (civil registry office) are recognized in Spain without the need for apostille. However, in practice, regional extranjería offices often request it, so we recommend obtaining an apostille for these documents in advance.
