Why You Need a Notary for Spain Documents
Spain authorities — whether immigration, banking, legal, or professional licensing bodies — require that documents presented from Ireland bear the certification of a qualified notary public. A notarial certificate confirms the authenticity of the document and the identity of its signatory. For Spain, this is then typically followed by an apostille or, in some cases, embassy legalisation.
