BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, DIVORCE & DEATHS IN SPAIN
As all nations do, Spain requires that births, marriages, divorces and deaths be officially registered.
A baby born in Spain needs a Spanish birth certificate, regardless of the nationality of its parents. If the parents are not Spanish, they should also register the birth at their own country’s consulate.
A death must also be registered, both in Spain and with the consulate of the country of the deceased.
A civil marriage between foreignerscan be celebrated in Spain and will be recognised in other countries as valid. One of the partners must be an official resident of Spain.
Married foreigners can be divorced in Spain, regardless of where they were married, as long as one of the parties is resident, and the divorce will be recognised in other countries.
