About marriage registration in Spain

Who it is for

People who married in another country and now want the marriage recorded in this country. They usually have a link to the country, as a citizen or resident. If the marriage is not recorded, it may not be recognised here. That can cause problems, such as losing automatic rights to inherit or tax benefits. Recording it in the Civil Registry (the official record of births, marriages and deaths) helps avoid this.

Note: this service is not for getting married. It is for people who are already married.

What you need

  • At least one spouse must be a citizen of this country
  • The marriage must be valid in the country where it took place

Recording the marriage is not required by law, but it helps avoid legal problems. Which country's law applies can depend on the spouses' nationality.

What the service includes

  • A first talk with an English-speaking lawyer to see which steps apply to you
  • An explanation of the steps, time and costs
  • Help getting the papers, including official stamps and translations

  • The lawyer is incredibly kind, caring and helpful. She assisted my wife and me in organising our marriage documents and dealing with the translations and other legal paperwork. Her advice was great and made the whole process much easier and smoother.
