What ElbaTrad is, and what it is not
Sworn translation is a field full of confusion between agencies, platforms and individual translators. We would rather say clearly which side we are on.
What we are
- A Spanish company entered in the Commercial Registry, with a tax ID and physical premises
- A team with an in-house sworn translator for English, appointed by the MAEC since 2008
- A network of partner sworn translators, each appointed by the MAEC for their language
- Four project managers who check every document before quoting and follow the job through to delivery
- Three offices where you can hand over and collect in person, plus remote service across Spain
What we do not do
- We do not deliver machine translation with a quick edit as if it were sworn
- We do not work with translators without a MAEC appointment for any language
- We do not quote a generic turnaround: the date is confirmed in writing in every quote
- We do not pass your documents to third parties: only the manager and the assigned translator see them
- We do not promise that an authority will accept something the law does not allow: we tell you first
How we work
A sworn translation passes through three pairs of hands before it reaches yours. None is skipped, not even on urgent jobs.
We would rather explain how the work is organised than talk about “quality” in the abstract: when a file is rejected, it is almost never the translation, but something nobody checked beforehand.
Where we are
Three offices for handing over or collecting in person, and we are available Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 19:00 for the whole of Spain.

Frequently asked questions about ElbaTrad
Is ElbaTrad an agency or a sworn translator?
Both. ElbaTrad Translations is the trading name of Royal Elba S.L.U., a company based in Adeje (Tenerife) with an in-house sworn translator for English, appointed by the MAEC since 2008, and a network of partner sworn translators appointed by the same ministry for the other languages. You deal with the company; the translation is always signed by an officially appointed sworn translator.
Who signs my translation?
A sworn translator appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the language of your document. Their signature, stamp and appointment number appear on every page, and that number can be checked on the Ministry’s public register. No unappointed translator ever signs, and we never deliver edited machine translation.
Where are your offices?
We have three: Adeje (Calle Hermano Pedro 7, local 2, 38670), Seville (Calle Arjona 5, 41001) and Malaga (Calle Flauta Mágica 11 D, Edificio Artemisa, office 221, 29006). All three accept documents in person and hand over paper translations. We are available Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 19:00.
Can I order a translation without visiting an office?
Yes, and that is the norm: most of our orders arrive through the form, by email or on WhatsApp from provinces where we have no premises. You send the scanned document, receive a fixed quote, and the translation arrives as a digitally signed PDF and, if you need it, on paper by courier.
How can I check that you are trustworthy?
With facts you can verify yourself: the tax ID B42834002 in the Commercial Registry, the appointment number of the translator who signs, on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs register, and the 400-plus public reviews on Google for our three offices. We would rather you checked than took our word for it.
How long has ElbaTrad existed?
The ElbaTrad Translations brand has operated since March 2020, although the team behind it has been in sworn translation for longer. Since then we have served over 4,100 clients and delivered over 5,200 sworn translations for procedures in Spain and abroad.
Do you work with companies and law firms?
It is a large part of what we do. Law firms, accountants, notaries and in-house legal teams send us complete files with hard deadlines. We offer commercial document translation, a client glossary, invoicing to the company and a confidentiality agreement when required.
Which languages do you work in?
39 languages, always with sworn translators appointed by the MAEC for each pair. The most requested are English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic and Chinese, and each has its own page with the usual procedures for that country. If yours is not listed, write to us and we will confirm.
