\n

Welcome to the definitive guide to civil registries in Spain. If you need a birth, marriage, or death certificate and live in a municipality with its own office (generally with more than 7,000 inhabitants), the Civil Registry is the competent body. Below, we explain what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to obtain certificates without travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Civil Registry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Civil Registry is a public service under the Ministry of Justice that records vital events of individuals (births, marriages, deaths) and issues official documents to certify them. Each municipality with a sufficient population has its own Civil Registry; in small municipalities, this function is assumed by the Justice of the Peace Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
