Good to know
How Spanish-language documents work
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any foreign-language document submitted to USCIS must be accompanied by a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate, together with the translator's certification that they are competent to translate from the foreign language into English.
All major Spanish-speaking countries except Cuba are contracting parties to the Hague Apostille Convention: Spain (1978), Argentina (1987), Panama (1990), Mexico (1994), El Salvador (1995), Venezuela (1998), Colombia (2000), Ecuador (2004), Honduras (2004), Dominican Republic (2008), Peru (2010), Costa Rica (2011), Uruguay (2012), Nicaragua (2012), Paraguay (2013), Chile (2015), Guatemala (2017), and Bolivia (2017).
Cuba does not appear in the list of contracting parties to the Hague Apostille Convention; Cuban documents destined for uses that require authentication go through consular chain legalization instead of an apostille.
USCIS itself does not require an apostille or legalization on foreign civil documents; it requires the certified English translation. Apostilles matter for other US uses such as state courts, professional licensing boards, and some state agencies.
