Apostille Documents to Open a Company or Branch in Spain
Spain is a popular destination for US companies looking to expand into the European Union. Opening a branch (sucursal) or subsidiary (filial) in Spain requires apostilled US corporate documents. Miami Dade Apostille handles the full authentication process from Miami.
Documents Required by the Spanish Mercantile Registry
The Registro Mercantil typically requires apostilled articles of incorporation, a certificate of good standing from the state of incorporation, corporate resolutions authorizing the Spanish operation, and a power of attorney for the Spanish representative. All documents must be translated into Spanish by a sworn translator (traductor jurado).
Apostille and Translation
We obtain the apostille from the Florida Secretary of State or the US Department of State, then coordinate certified Spanish translation by a sworn translator recognized in Spain. This ensures your documents are accepted by Spanish notaries and the Mercantile Registry.
Spain Digital Nomad Visa and Business Setup
If you are also applying for the Spain Digital Nomad Visa or the Non-Lucrative Visa, you may need additional apostilled documents such as background checks, diplomas, and financial statements. We handle all of these from Miami.
