Who Is This Package For?

The Consulate-Ready Pack is for applicants who plan to manage their own consular filing or already have an immigration lawyer, but want the North American document side coordinated professionally.

We help organize the records that commonly create delays—FBI or RCMP certificates, federal and state/provincial apostilles, civil-status documents and translations—then return an organized file for the next stage of your process.

This package does not include immigration legal representation or legal filing. If you want legal strategy and filing support from independent licensed counsel, compare the Turnkey Nomad Package.

Bringing Family Members?

Your final document list depends on age, relationship, destination and visa route. Our current additional-applicant pricing is:

Additional Adult Applicant (+ $1,087.50 / person)

May include criminal-record coordination, applicable apostille routing, civil-status documentation, translation coordination and family financial-document review, depending on the filing requirements.

Minor Child (+ $652.50 / child)

Designed around the reduced document workload typically associated with a child’s file. The exact services depend on whether that child’s application requires a criminal record, medical evidence or other age-specific documents.

What Is Included in the $1,450 Base Order

  • ✓
    FBI / RCMP Criminal-Record Coordination

    Guidance and coordination for the criminal-record certificate required by your filing route, including fingerprinting steps where applicable and routing the resulting document to the correct apostille authority when an apostille is required.

  • ✓
    Federal, State & Provincial Apostille Routing

    We identify whether the document belongs with the U.S. Department of State, a U.S. Secretary of State, Global Affairs Canada or a Canadian provincial competent authority, then coordinate the applicable submission and return logistics.

  • ✓
    Administrative Document Readiness Review

    We compare the documents you provide against the published checklist and current numerical requirements for your route and flag missing or inconsistent items. We do not provide a legal eligibility opinion in this package.

  • ✓
    Translation Coordination

    Where translation is required, we coordinate an appropriate Spanish or Portuguese translation based on the actual filing authority. For Spain, this can include a MAEC-authorized Traductor Jurado where appropriate; Portugal follows different certification rules.

  • ✓
    Document-Timing Plan

    We sequence time-sensitive records around the validity period published for your visa and filing jurisdiction. We do not use a blanket 90-day rule for every Spain or Portugal application.

  • ✓
    Return Logistics & Digital File Organization

    Completed hard-copy documents are returned using the shipping method included in your order, with organized digital copies where available.

Government processing times are not guaranteed. Apostille and authentication authorities control their own processing queues. For example, Global Affairs Canada currently publishes a fluctuating processing time and states that it does not provide a general expedited service.

Consulate-Ready Pack FAQs

Important distinctions about translations, validity periods, Social Security and what this DIY-oriented package includes.

Does Spain always require a MAEC sworn translation?

Not every Spanish consular checklist uses identical wording. Current Washington Digital Nomad Visa guidance calls for an official Spanish translation by a sworn/certified translator and directs applicants both to certified translators and Spain’s MAEC directory. We follow the translation requirement for your actual filing route and can coordinate a MAEC-authorized sworn translator where appropriate.

How long are FBI and RCMP criminal-record certificates valid?

There is no universal validity period across Spain and Portugal. Current Spanish DNV guidance in Washington uses a six-month limit for U.S. criminal records, while other jurisdictions and visa categories can publish different windows. We plan your criminal record around the checklist that applies to your application rather than using a blanket 90-day or 180-day rule.

What is the 2026 Spain Digital Nomad Visa income benchmark?

Current Washington consular guidance lists Spain’s 2026 SMI at €1,221 per month. The main DNV applicant therefore needs €2,442 per month (200% SMI), with €916 per month added for the first accompanying family member and €306 per month for each additional family member. Always verify the current figure at the time of filing.

Why is the minor-child rate lower?

A child’s file often involves fewer North American records than an adult applicant’s file—for example, criminal-record documentation may not be required depending on the child’s age and the filing procedure. The $652.50 rate reflects the reduced administrative workload. We confirm the actual child-specific checklist before processing.

I’m a U.S. W-2 employee moving to Spain. Do I automatically qualify for a USA/E 1 Certificate of Coverage?

No. A Certificate of Coverage under the U.S.–Spain Social Security Agreement depends on the actual employment arrangement and which country’s Social Security laws apply under the agreement. Where U.S. coverage applies, the U.S. Social Security Administration can issue Form USA/E 1 as proof of exemption from compulsory Spanish coverage. This package can flag the document issue, but legal and employment-structure advice should come from the appropriate licensed professional.

Does the Consulate-Ready Pack include immigration-lawyer filing?

No. The $1,450 base package is designed for self-filers or clients who already have counsel. It covers the administrative document services described on this page. If you want coordinated legal strategy and filing by independent licensed immigration counsel, review the Turnkey Nomad Package.

Are government apostille processing times included in your guarantee?

No. We coordinate the correct authority, submission route and document sequence, but government processing times remain controlled by the issuing authority. Global Affairs Canada, for example, currently states that it does not offer a general expedited authentication service.
