Legal Certainty and Speed
What people who trusted us to recover their family history or process vital documents say.
"After months of blockages in the Central Civil Registry, their advice was decisive. They located my grandfather's certificate from 1918 in a non-digitized physical book and coordinated the MAEC Apostille in record time."
"Impeccable auditors. They checked that the marginal notes of my marriage certificate were those required by the new immigration regulations before sending it. They saved me from a certain request for corrections."
"Locating my great-grandfather's certificate seemed impossible, but their technical team conducted an exhaustive historical search. The validation of the Secure Verification Code (CSV) was the key to my process."
"I needed to legalize my birth certificate for an inheritance. They managed the Hague Apostille and certified international shipping. Total transparency in associative fees."
"Their support in obtaining my marriage certificate from outside Spain was excellent. They explained the difference between the multilingual and literal format required by my residency procedure."
"Their format audit prevented my procedure from being rejected a second time. They explained to me why the abstract certificate was not suitable for the ID. A top-level technical service!"

Legal Framework of the Civil Registry in Spain
Obtaining certificates in Spain is mainly governed by Law 20/2011, of July 21, on the Civil Registry. This regulation led to the de-judicialization of the Registry, turning it into an administrative body. For nationality processes under the Democratic Memory Law (Law 20/2022), it is mandatory that the certificates be 'Literal' and not older than 6 months (or whatever the specific consulate dictates).
Understanding the difference between an abstract, literal, or international (multilingual) certification is critical. While the multilingual avoids translations within the EU, most immigration processes in Spain require the Literal with the security stamp of the Ministry of Justice or the corresponding registrar's electronic signature.
Certificates from before 1950
Many old records are not digitized in the DICIREG system. This requires a physical search in the corresponding Civil Registry books, a process that our technical team coordinates directly with local officials.
Discrepancies in First and Last Names
It is common to find errors in the spelling of last names in certificates from the early 20th century. We audit these discrepancies to advise you on the need for rectification files for material errors before starting your nationality process.
Consular vs. Territorial Registries
If the event occurred abroad but was registered in Spain, the search must be directed to the Central Civil Registry in Madrid. We handle the specific protocols of this registry, which currently has the longest waiting times in the administration.
