It is of the utmost importance that, for the official registration in September, the translation of this document (as well as any other legal document) gets done by a sworn translator. We recommend to obtain the sworn translation as soon as possible, since they may take time. You can find a list of Catalonia's professional sworn translators on the APTIC's website.
