An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Spain that means Spain’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Spain, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Spain issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Authority fee: The High Courts of Justice and the Ministry of Justice do not charge for the issuance of an Apostille. The Professional Association of Notaries charges between € 3.50 and € 7.50. (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Apostille in Spain: questions
Spain designates its competent authorities under Article 6 of the Convention; the notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In all Contracting States except Kosovo: an Article 12 objection is in force between them, so documents for these states need consular legalisation instead. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) always need legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: The High Courts of Justice and the Ministry of Justice do not charge for the issuance of an Apostille. The Professional Association of Notaries charges between € 3.50 and € 7.50.. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.
The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in Spanish; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.
The Convention has been in force for Spain since September 25, 1978.
