• Provides civil registry services (birth, death, marriage, guardianship, custody, bankruptcy);

• Legalizes foreign public documents verifying the authenticity of signatures on them;
• Allows Spanish nationals to participate in electoral events;
• Issues visas;
• Assists Spanish nationals in cases of emergencies.

Spanish citizens registered in the Register of Spanish citizens living abroad in Spanish consular offices have the right to renew and apply for Spanish passports. Although passports must be processed in their place of residence, Spanish citizens travelling abroad can apply for a new passport at the consular offices along their route in case of:

• Loss or theft
• Expiry
• Approaching the expiry date
• Damage
• Lack of free pages

To be issued with a passport, applicants must present one of the following documents: original valid national identify card (DNI), the passport to be replaced or official birth certificate. If none of these documents is available, the consular office will consult the central authorities and, when Spanish identity and nationality has been verified, it will issue the passport, with the possibility of limiting its validity to three months.

To return to Spain, the consular office may issue a laissez-passer travel document valid solely for returning to Spain.

Spanish citizens residing abroad may obtain their national identity card at their address in the foreign country. The national identity card can only be renewed in Spain, although Spanish citizens residing abroad may request that the document is handed over in the Consulate of their place of residence.

Spanish citizens residing abroad must register with the Consular Register corresponding to the district where they live. Registration allows them to renew their documentation, to be able to prove their residence abroad and to participate in elections called in Spain, except municipal elections, as well as to request consular assistance in situations of need. To register, you must visit the Consular Office responsible for the place you live in, prove your residence, identity and Spanish nationality with the appropriate documentation, complete a form and provide a photograph.
