This information does not constitute immigration advice, and is presented purely as general information on the topic. Reading does not create a client service provider relationship, and does not replace professional advice.

NOTE: Documents requiring legalization need to be legalized by both the government of the country who issued the document, and by a Spanish Consulate, or, with an Apostille, if issued by a country covered by The Hague Convention. We may also arrange for certified translations of certain documents.
