Be prepared for lengthy and time-consuming paperwork especially if you are a foreigner getting married in Spain. Bride-to-be Murilyn Hutchinson offers you some “must-knows” and pitfalls that you should avoid.In about six weeks time my partner and I will be getting married in Malaga.
It's all very exciting and I am happy to share my wedding journey with Expatica.
My partner Christoper and I met in Marbella about two years ago and have been in love ever since. I have never felt the urge to tie the knot, especially after two major failed relationships.
Since meeting Christopher all my old values towards marriage have changed. He makes me feel like a princess and the children get on well with him as well. How often do you find the perfect partner who gets along well with your children?
Christopher is a resident in Spain and I am too – travelling to and fro as often as possible. At the moment, I am mainly based in the UK because of the children’s schooling.
We decided to get married in Spain because:
• Spain represents a turning point in my life for everything good that has happened since my first visit in 2006
• It's the place where we met and fell in love
• Being able to invite all the friends that I have met in Spain and of course the certainty of guaranteed sunshine
• Christopher is already residing in Spain
The marriage process in Spain is by far the most complicated in Europe, or so I was told by the advisor by the Southend on sea registrar. I was prepared for the worst but so far the process has proved to be quite smooth-sailing.
STEP 1: Gathering the paperwork
While planning to get married in Spain, the first thing to gather is the necessary paperwork.
You will need the following documents
(1) Certificate of No Impediment to the marriage or divorce certificate
UK citizens can get this from their local registrar office (it costs GBP 30 for the application).I f you are already a resident of Spain, you can apply for it at the British consular in Malaga and will cost around GBP 80 per application. This process takes 21 days from the date it is filed for or longer if applying from the consular.
(2) Birth certificate, can be a copy from the official government site
UK citizens can go to http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ to apply for one. Each certificate cost GBP 17.
(3) Valid original passport and copies
Make at least four copies because you will need them when you apply for the Empadronmiento, Residencia and file for the marriage.
