When buying a property in Spain, do I have to have all Polish documents translated and certified by APOSTILLE?

When buying property in Spain, not all Polish documents need to be translated and certified with an apostille certificate. However, in some situations it may be required, especially when the documents are needed for official or legal purposes in Spain.

In general, the documents that may be required to be translated and confirmed by an apostille certificate are, for example:

• Birth certificate
• Civil status records (e.g., marriage)
• Legal documents (e.g., powers of attorney, contracts)
• Documents relating to finances (e.g., bank certificates, bank statements)

In some cases, the developer may require certain documents to be translated and certified with an apostille certificate to enable the legal process of buying a property in Spain. It is always a good idea to make sure what the document requirements are in your specific case and consult with a DEVETOPER platform advisor to get the right support and advice during the property purchase process.
