Birth, Marriage & Death Certificate Applications in Spain

Birth, marriage and death certificates are official records of these life events. They are often needed for legal matters, inheritance or citizenship applications. This service helps people get them from the civil registry (the public office that records these events) in the country where the event took place.

Who it is for

Expats, descendants of people born in the country, people going through legal procedures, and those dealing with the estate (property and money) of a relative who has died. Getting these papers can be hard for anyone who does not know the local system or language.

How it works

• The type of certificate is confirmed and personal details are collected, along with proof of family link if required.
• The right registry office is found, based on where the event happened.
• Forms are filled in and the request is sent, online or in person.
• The registry is followed up and any extra questions are dealt with.
• The certificate is collected and checked for mistakes.
• If needed, it is translated and legalised (officially certified so it is accepted in other countries).
• It is sent safely to the person's chosen address.

Why it helps

The person gets the documents without dealing with foreign offices themselves, saving time and possibly travel costs. Properly certified and translated papers are more easily accepted in legal matters at home and abroad.
