Birth & Marriage Certificates for Spanish Visas

If you're applying for a visa to Spain, having the correct supporting documents is essential. GoSpain simplifies the process by offering a 3-in-1 service that includes:

  • Obtaining your updated certificate

  • Getting it apostilled by the UK Foreign Office

  • Providing an official Spanish translation

All documents are prepared in compliance with the Spanish consulate and immigration requirements.

​

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 Requirements (NLV Example) - €28,800 per person

  • 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?

​

  • Birth certificates are only required for children under 18 applying for a visa to Spain.

  • 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 in-person visa applications in the UK: You will need the original hard copy of your documents.

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

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