Spanish citizenship
Citizenship is the end of a long residence path, and the file is judged on the whole of it. Gaps, absences and unregistered addresses that seemed harmless years earlier become decisive at this stage.
Who this is for
- Long-term residents
- Nationals of countries with shortened residence periods
- Spouses of Spanish nationals
- Applicants with a refused or stalled file
Evidence and examinations
Civil registry documents, criminal records, integration and language requirements are prepared as one coherent file.
Dual nationality
Whether you must renounce your current nationality depends on your country of origin. We clarify this before you apply.

Frequently asked questions
- How long must I live in Spain before applying?
- The general period is long, but it is substantially shortened for certain nationalities and family situations. We calculate your qualifying date from your actual residence record.
- Can I keep my current nationality?
- Spain permits dual nationality with certain countries; with others a declaration is required. The practical effect depends on both legal systems, so we address it explicitly.
- How long does a decision take?
- Processing times are measured in months to years and vary considerably. We monitor the file and act where undue delay becomes actionable.
