| Legal Terminology | Terms for 'Lawyer' or 'Degree' vary significantly (Abogado vs Licenciado). | Strict adherence to legal jargon appropriate for each jurisdiction. |
| Word Count Expansion | Spanish text is typically ~20% longer than its English counterpart. | Expert layout adjustments to maintain visual clarity and professional appearance. |

Spanish translation requires navigating multiple regional variants and complex administrative registers. Register errors or terminology inconsistencies can impact the credibility of commercial files or void immigration procedures.
Asiatis provides certified translations signed by a certified translator who is a member of a provincial association: mainly ATIO (Ontario), STIBC (British Columbia) and OTTIAQ (Quebec). Our certified translations are prepared in line with the published requirements of IRCC, embassies and the Canadian courts; the decision on each file remains theirs.
With expertise spanning 21 Spanish-speaking countries, Asiatis masters the critical distinctions between Castilian (Spain), Mexican, Argentine, and Colombian Spanish. Our native translators understand the legal terminology specific to each jurisdiction, Mercosur agreements, and WES/ICAS academic standards — a decisive advantage for your operations in the world's second-largest linguistic space.

Asiatis does not handle notarization. We confirm with you whether the recipient requires a notarized translation; the notarization is then done by a notary.
The role and status of a notary vary by province: in Quebec, the notary is a legal professional; elsewhere, a notary public is often a lawyer or a person appointed by the province.

- Quebec — Chambre des notaires du Québec: Find a notary. The notary is a legal professional and a member of the Chambre des notaires. The directory lists notaries who agree to be referred to the public.
- British Columbia — Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia: Find a Notary (from the home page). Notaries public are regulated by the Society of Notaries Public; its tool lets you search for a notary by name or city and check their status.
