tramitado

Tramitado is the participle of the Spanish verb tramitar. In administrative language, it functions as an adjective that describes something that has been processed, submitted, or handled through the required formalities by an authority or institution. The related noun trámites refers to the procedures or steps themselves, while tramitación denotes the overall process of carrying out those steps.

Usage and meaning

Tramitado typically characterizes documents, applications, or files that have already passed through the appropriate channels. For example, a file may be described as “expediente tramitado” or a form as “solicitud tramitada,” indicating that the processing work has been completed. In contrast, when a request is still being worked on, it is common to say that it is “en trámite” rather than "tramitado," to emphasize that the process is ongoing.

Contexts

The term is widely used in legal, civil, governmental, and corporate contexts. It can apply to passports, visas, permits, registrations, and other administrative procedures. Phrases such as “el trámite ya fue tramitado” or “la documentación está tramitada” are typical ways to express completion. Grammatically, tramitado agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies (e.g., expediente tramitado, documentos tramitados).

Variantes y relación
