TIE HoyDocuments Spanish nationality application
Use this document checklist to prepare a complete Spanish nationality application.
What documents do I need for Spanish nationality?
Use the official list for your route and separate Spanish from foreign documents. Each item must be readable, current and usable in Spain.
Do I need a new criminal-record certificate?
Check the required validity and issuing country before requesting it. An old certificate may not work when you file.
What to do
Build a verifiable file, not a folder of copies.
Steps
- Download official list
- Sort by issuing country
- Check validity
- Arrange legalisation and translation
- Scan and review before filing
Basis
Royal Decree 1004/2015, article 5: application documents.
More questions
Must every document be translated?
Check the applicable rule for each foreign document before ordering translation.
