lliurador

Lliurador is a Catalan noun formed from the verb lliurar, meaning to hand over or deliver. It designates a person or entity that transfers something to another party, such as goods, documents, or payments. The term is used in formal, administrative, and legal language and appears in contracts, logistics documents, and official records.

In commerce and logistics, the lliurador is the party responsible for transferring possession of goods to the recipient under the terms of a delivery arrangement. Depending on the contract, the lliurador may be the seller, the carrier, or another authorized agent who physically hands over the item to the buyer or consignee. In shipping documents and bills of lading, the term can indicate the entity that completes the delivery to the designated recipient, rather than the owner of the goods.

In legal and bureaucratic contexts, lliurador can refer to the authority or person that issues or hands over official documents, certificates, permits, or court decisions to the interested party. Because its specific meaning depends on context, translations into English vary and can include deliverer, carrier, issuer, or executor of delivery.

Etymology and related terms: the word derives from the Catalan verb lliurar; related terms include lliurament (delivery) and, in broader use, lliurar (to deliver). The exact interpretation of lliurador is therefore guided by the surrounding contractual or procedural language.
