    Bring an identity card, passport or driving licence. Ask the recipient which certificate is needed; translation aids are for submission in an EU country. Polish and Spanish are among the EU translation-aid languages. Ask for the appropriate language and confirm its acceptance abroad; this aid is not an unrestricted sworn translation for every country. Use the city’s official service portal for an online request.
