Civil registries for registering events from abroad in Spain

Use the current official application and marriage data sheet, with the Spanish spouse as declarant. Prepare the updated full foreign marriage certificate; Spanish birth certificates for Spanish spouses and the foreign spouse’s birth certificate where applicable; copies of Spanish DNI (Spanish national identity card) and the foreign spouse’s NIE (foreigner identification number) or passport; and a padrón certificate from Málaga or its judicial district. Provide children’s birth-certificate copies for children of the marriage or a copy of the family book, plus proof that earlier marriages ended. Check legalisation/apostille and Spanish translation requirements for foreign records. Both spouses’ signatures are provided for on the application.
