Each route has its own requirements, listed on its page from Plataforma ONE. If your package is ready but you have no Spanish digital certificate, Spain Visa Submit files any of these applications with our own certificate for €80 per applicant. Verified: November 2, 2026 Spain Visa Submit is a technical submission service, not a law firm.

Foreign documents must be translated into Spanish, and foreign public documents need an apostille or legalisation. ## How we file Choose the route in our application form, pay €80 per applicant, sign the authorization and upload the prepared package in your private account. We sign and submit it to UGE with our own certificate and send you the official filing receipt with the registration number. ## What we do not do We do not assess eligibility, choose the route, prepare or review documents, or give legal advice. Prepare the package yourself or with a lawyer or gestoría before you order filing. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which route should I choose?
