How to get married in Spain

As with a traditional union, one of the same-sex partners must be a Spanish resident, having been legally resident in Spain for at least two years and registered with the municipality.

Application for a marriage licence can be made at the Civil Registry (Registro Civil), District Court (Juzgado) or, in some cases, the Town Hall in the place where the marriage is to be held.

At this point, consult your local authority (Civil Registry, District Court or Town Hall) with jurisdiction over where the marriage is to be held to find out precisely what documentation will be required. It varies greatly with some provinces being stricter than others regarding the laws of residency.

Applicants will need to provide the following documents:

• Current valid passport (for non-Spanish applicants)
• Original birth certificates, with sworn Spanish translation if that is not the original language (traduccion jurada)
• Proof that they are free to marry (Certificado de Capacidad Matrimonial). Provide marriage and divorce, annulment or death certificates of any prior marriage, a Consular office may be able to help with this)
• Proof of Spanish residency (residence card)
• Certificate of residence (Certificado de Empadronamiento), proving residence in Spain of at least two years (available from the Town Hall)

Note: All foreign (not Spanish) documents should be translated into Spanish and have an official seal, the Certificate of Apostille of the Hague (a Postilla de la Haya). Translated documentation should ideally not be more than three months old.
