Birth & Marriage Certificates for Spanish Visa Applications

If you're applying for a visa to Spain, having the correct supporting documents is essential. GoSpain offers a convenient 3-in-1 document preparation service that includes:

  • Requesting an updated UK birth or marriage certificate (where authorised)

  • Arranging a Hague Apostille from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)

  • Providing an official sworn Spanish translation

We prepare your documents in accordance with current Spanish Consulate requirements, ready for you to submit with your visa application.

​

Why a Marriage Certificate is Important for Your Visa to Spain

​

If you're married and applying for a Spanish visa—especially a Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV)—having a valid, apostilled, and translated marriage certificate allows you to apply as a family unit.

This isn’t just a formality—it reduces your financial requirements:

  • Individual applicant: €28,800

  • Married Couple - €28,800 (main applicant) + €7,200 (spouse)

So, having a valid marriage certificate can lower the financial threshold for your application.

​

When Do You Need a Birth Certificate?

​

  • For most Spanish visa applications, birth certificates are only required for applicants under 18 years old.

  • Adult applicants do not need to provide a birth certificate.

If you’re applying for a family visa with dependents, we’ll handle all birth certificate preparation, apostille, and translation for you.

​

Physical vs. Electronic Copies

​

  • For UK consular appointments, applicants must normally present original paper documents.

  • For electronic (in-country) submissions in Spain: Only electronic/scanned copies are required.

We’ll provide both digital and physical versions if needed.
