ISO 18587Jávea, officially Xàbia in Valencian, has a large international community and frequent cross-border property and administrative needs. LinguaVox provides professional and sworn translation services for residents, property owners, businesses and advisers in Jávea/Xàbia.
Most projects can be managed online. Send us the complete documents and tell us what they will be used for; we will then confirm whether you need an ordinary translation or a Spanish sworn translation.
“Certified” and “sworn” translation in Spain
English-speaking clients often search for a certified translation. In Spain, documents that require official translation for judicial or administrative use may need to be translated by a sworn translator authorised for the relevant language combination.
The receiving body decides the requirement. We therefore avoid assuming that every certificate needs sworn status, or that a generic certification from another jurisdiction will necessarily be accepted in Spain.
Property and notarial documents in Jávea/Xàbia
Property ownership and cross-border estates create a range of translation needs, including contracts, deeds, powers of attorney, probate documents, bank letters, company paperwork and civil certificates.
Some clients need a translation simply to understand or review the document with an adviser. Others need a version that can be filed as part of an official Spanish procedure. The quotation will reflect that distinction.
For more detail, see legal and property documents connected with Jávea/Xàbia.
Personal and family documents
We translate birth and marriage certificates, criminal record certificates, academic records, medical documents and other personal paperwork for procedures in Spain or abroad.
If the document comes from the UK or another English-speaking country, the country of issue may affect terminology, legalisation steps and the way the document is described. Send any apostille or attached certificate along with the main document if it forms part of the file.
Languages for international residents
English-Spanish is common in Jávea/Xàbia, but we also handle German, Dutch, French, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Russian and many other languages. LinguaVox works in more than 150 languages.
The translator is selected according to both language and content. Legal, medical, technical and commercial projects are not assigned on language alone.
Electronic handling and delivery
Documents can normally be sent digitally. Spain now has a specific framework for electronic signature by sworn translators, although the receiving organisation may stipulate its own accepted format.
If a paper original is needed at the end, we can discuss delivery when confirming the job. You do not have to travel to Alicante city merely to arrange the translation.
Request a quotation
Send a clear copy of all pages, including stamps, endorsements and attachments that must be translated. Tell us the language direction, purpose, deadline and receiving organisation.

Using the names Jávea and Xàbia correctly
Jávea is the Spanish name and Xàbia the Valencian name of the same municipality. Source documents, property records and correspondence may use either form. A translation should preserve the official reference found in the document and remain consistent; it should not silently replace one name with the other.
For a purchase, sale or inheritance, send the full set of deeds, powers, certificates and instructions. We can then identify which items require a Spanish sworn translator and which need an accurate legal translation for the client or adviser. The distinction depends on the recipient, not on the subject alone.
Files can be assessed remotely from Jávea/Xàbia. Scans need to show stamps, handwritten notes and all pages. If the receiving notary, registry or authority has specified a delivery format, include that requirement with the documents so that scope, timing and delivery can be quoted together.
Document control and consistency
When several versions of a contract or power are circulating, label the signed document and keep drafts separate. The translation should follow the version that will actually be used. If corrections arrive after work begins, they are added explicitly to the scope so that the final check covers the right source and not an obsolete attachment.
