Statute overview

About this statute

Spanish authorities must help refugees obtain civil-status documentation when they cannot get it from their home country. Certain civil-status facts about a refugee living in Spain may be declared as a simple presumption when the person cannot obtain the usual civil registry certificates or equivalent proof from their country because of refugee status or force majeure. These resolutions may result in an annotation in the Spanish Civil Registry; a duplicate entry must not be made in the Spanish Consular Registry of the refugee’s country. The stated doctrine also applies to civil-status facts of a foreigner domiciled in Spain, especially if the person is stateless, an asylum case, or of indeterminate nationality, when force majeure prevents obtaining the usual proof in the relevant country.
