What documents are required to prove your ancestral ties to Spain?

To prove Spanish nationality, the application must contain a record of the Spain nationality of the applicant’s “anchor ancestor” (parent, grandparent).

Eligible documents include:

1. Your birth certificate, issued by a local Civil Registry Office abroad, legalized with an apostille.

2. The birth certificate of the Spanish parent, issued by a Spanish Civil Registry, consular or municipal, or by a foreign Civil Registry.

3. The birth certificate of the Spanish grandfather or grandmother of the applicant, issued by a municipal Civil Registry in Spain. If they were born before 1870, a Spanish baptism certificate may be presented instead.

4. The birth certificate linking the father or mother with the grandfather or grandmother, if applicable.
