Civil registries for registering events from abroad in Spain

Bring the signed application; original and copy of the Spanish spouse’s DNI (Spanish national identity card) and every passport page for non-Spanish spouses; current padrón certificates for both; the full marriage certificate; each spouse’s full birth certificate; and birth certificates of all children of both spouses. Unless the document specifies another validity period, the guidance accepts padrón certificates issued within six months and spouses’ birth certificates within one year. Prior divorce or widowhood requires the relevant previous marriage/divorce or death records; Pakistan and Bangladesh cases also require NIKAH NAMA. Ask about sworn translation and apostille/legalisation, including applicable exemptions and EU multilingual supporting forms.
