Catalan vs. Spanish Distinction
Catalan is NOT a dialect of Spanish — it is a distinct Romance language closer to Occitan. Using Spanish translators for Catalan documents results in errors, as vocabulary and grammar differ substantially.

Why Catalan Documents Need Specialized Translators
Our Catalan translators are native speakers who handle documents from the Registre Civil de Catalunya, the Generalitat's administrative system, and Andorra's civil registry. They understand the differences between Central Catalan, Valencian, and Balearic document conventions and navigate the bilingual Catalan-Spanish documentation common in Catalonia.
From a Catalan partida de naixement for USCIS to academic credentials from the Universitat de Barcelona for WES evaluation, our Catalan team delivers certified translations with native-level understanding of this Romance language.

Why Catalan Translation Requires Expertise
Catalan presents unique linguistic challenges that machine translation and non-specialist translators consistently fail to handle correctly.
Bilingual Documentation
Most Catalan civil documents are bilingual (Catalan-Spanish), but some Generalitat documents are Catalan-only. Translators must handle both monolingual and bilingual formats.
Dialectal Variation
Central Catalan, Valencian (Valencià), and Balearic varieties have vocabulary and spelling differences that affect document translation. "Registre" (Catalan) vs. "Registre" (Valencian) may have different administrative contexts.
Medieval Catalan in Historical Documents
Historical Catalan documents and some church records use medieval Catalan with significantly different orthography and vocabulary from the modern standard.
Machine vs. Professional Translation
See why Google Translate and AI tools can't replace certified human translators for legal documents. A single mistranslated term can delay your case or invalidate your filing.
Translation Quality Comparison — Catalan Legal Text
Same source sentence — different approaches
Source (Catalan)
“Certifico que les dades que figuren en aquest document són conformes amb les del Registre Civil.”
Machine TranslationInaccurate
“I certify that the data that appear in this document are in conformity with those of the Civil Register.”
"Data that appear" is awkward — "figuren" should be rendered as "contained in" or "set forth in"
Professional TranslationLegally Accurate
“I certify that the particulars set forth in this document conform to the records of the Civil Registry.”
"Figuren" properly rendered as "set forth" — standard legal English for data contained in documents

Certified & Notarized Catalan Translation for Immigration
USCIS, immigration courts, and state agencies require certified translations of all foreign-language documents. Our Catalan translations meet every federal and state requirement.
Certified Translation
Every Catalan translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy — a sworn statement by the translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. This is the minimum requirement for USCIS filings, court submissions, and academic credential evaluations (WES, ECE, NACES members).
Notarized Translation
A notarized translation adds a notary public’s verification that the translator’s signature is authentic. Some state courts, foreign consulates, and government agencies require notarization in addition to certification. We provide notarized Catalan translations with same-day availability.
Apostille Services
For Catalan documents being used internationally, an apostille certifies their authenticity under the Hague Convention. We coordinate apostille services with the Secretary of State’s office, providing a complete package: certified translation + notarization + apostille — ready for international legal use.
