About the service
What is the Spanish Citizenship by Origin?
Being a Spanish citizen by origin means you are considered Spanish from the moment of your birth. This is the strongest and most fundamental link to Spanish nationality, a right that cannot be taken away and that sets you apart from all other forms of acquisition.
It’s not a status you apply for, but a reality you formalize. This blood right or ius sanguinis is your birthright.
This right belongs to you automatically if you fall into one of these core groups. Primarily, if you were born to a Spanish father or mother, regardless of where in the world you were born. Your connection is direct and absolute, making you eligible for Spanish nationality as the child of a Spaniard.
Additionally, if you were born in Spain to foreign parents, but at least one of them was also born in Spain, you are also a citizen by origin. This protects families with deep, multi-generational roots in the country.
The law also protects the most vulnerable, granting Spanish Citizenship by Origin to children born in Spain to stateless parents or those whose parents’ nationality is not passed on, preventing anyone from being stateless.
Understanding this process is about shifting your mindset from “applying” to “declaring.” You are simply requesting the official recognition of your Spanish nationality.
This is a crucial distinction, as it doesn’t require subjective integration tests or long residency periods. The entire process hinges on providing unquestionable proof of your lineage or circumstances through precise documentation.
For the many children of Spanish citizens born abroad, the process typically involves a consular birth registration. This means presenting your case at the Spanish Consulate in your country of residence.
Navigating the specific requirements of each consulate, from legalizing foreign documents with the Hague Apostille to official translations, is a critical step where professional guidance prevents years of delays and frustration.
Our expertise is in building an irrefutable case for your recognition as a Spaniard. We navigate the complexities of both the Spanish Civil Registry and various consulates worldwide.
We handle the intricate task of gathering historical birth certificates, legalizing documents across borders, and presenting your file so that your rightful citizenship is officially inscribed and recognized without setbacks.
