Civil registry offices for certificates in Spain

Each city’s Registro Civil takes requests in its own way

Registries may ask where and when the event took place, so have the place, date and your ID details ready. Whether you must book a visit depends on the office. Online requests are often the quickest route, so some offices may point you there first.

    Oficina General del Registro Civil de Donostia / San Sebastián

    Plaza Teresa de Calcuta, 1, Atotxa, 20012 Donostia / San Sebastián

    Request it online, or visit without an appointment if your birth was registered in the city.

    Identify the person whose certificate is needed and prepare the available registration details, intended use and delivery address. Use the full application rather than the one-click option for another person, another language, a multilingual/extract certificate, or a certificate specifically for a first DNI (Spanish national identity card) or passport. A third-party request may require authorisation. Do not repeat a non-instant request within 15 days.
