Dalila joined Nockolds in 2005 and is Head of Official Translations. She set up the official translation division. Dalila is a Legal and Official Translator (English and Spanish) appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation. Before joining the firm, Dalila graduated with a master’s degree in Legal Translation from University of Granada in Spain.
Dalila is also a graduate in Applied Linguistics from University of Northumbria in Newcastle. Dalila was appointed Official Translator of Spanish and English (Certification no. 3674) by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in January 2003. Her official translations are accepted by the authorities in Spain and the UK and have the same international legal value as the translated document
Dalila produces official (sworn) translations which are the translations of documents which need to serve as legally valid instruments in English and Spanish. Official translations hold the same validity held by the original documents in the country in which they were first issued. Dalila provides official translations of a wide variety of documents including contracts, birth, marriage and death certificates, decrees, wills, divorce judgements, notarial deeds, court judgements, ACRO certificates and other certificates for Spanish Visa applications and any other legal documents in English and Spanish.
In her capacity as Official Translator, Dalila is a Public Certifying Officer who attests that the translated document is faithful to the original. Her official translations bear official status, and do not need to be legalised (apostilled). She is only responsible for the official translation process into English and Spanish and is not responsible for the legalisation process of the original translated document. Dalila has been recognised as a top expert contributor in the field of official translation.
