The Spanish Consulate in your jurisdiction specifies the exact checklist \u2014 requirements vary by generation of descent.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary>Do I need a Spanish translation for my apostilled California document?<\/summary><p>Yes, in most official proceedings. Spanish courts, registries, and notaries require Spanish-language documents. A traductor jurado (sworn translator) registered with the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs produces legally valid translations.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary>Can the California Secretary of State apostille an FBI background check for a Spanish residency permit?<\/summary><p>No. FBI Identity History Summary documents are federal records authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington D.C.
