Frequently asked questions on the registration of marriage celebrated abroad
Can I register the marriage if I am not yet living in Spain?
Yes, if one of the spouses is Spanish, he/she can apply for registration from the consulate or from Spain.
Do I need to register the marriage to obtain the spouse's residency?
Yes, it is a prerequisite for applying for the EU citizen family card.
What happens if the documents are not apostilled?
They will not be valid for the procedure. We help you to obtain the corresponding apostille.
Do I have to provide the entire file translated?
Yes, all documents issued in a language other than Spanish must be submitted with an official sworn translation recognized in Spain.
What happens if I am in an irregular situation?

Can I do this even though we live in different countries?
