Spanish immigrant marriage

The laws of Spain and China are different, so we need to know the differences when handling notarization documents. Different documents, even the same document used in different occasions, will have different results, such as the notarization of a child's birth certificate. When used to prove the relationship between children and their parents, there is no time limit if applying for family reunion, because the relationship between children and their parents is eternal from the date of birth; However, if it is used to prove the rights of minors, the required birth certificate must be issued within three months. The reason is that in addition to proving the relationship between the child and the parents, it is also necessary to prove that the child is alive.

As for the academic record, diploma notarization, personal qualification certificate, retirement notarization and other personal experience certificates, because these documents are personal historical materials and have not been changed, these notaries have no validity period.

Most other notarial documents are time-limited. For example, a marriage certificate notarized in China is generally valid for 6 months. Because it takes time for applicants to go through formalities in China, the Spanish government has relaxed the time limit to one year. Some people don't understand and ask, "We have been married for a long time. What will happen? " Well, the relationship between husband and wife is not as permanent as that between mother, father and son. Marriage can be dissolved and will change. Therefore, the Spanish police will ask people who apply for family reunion or change of family residence to apply for a notarial certificate or marriage certificate again.

If the applicant is married in the Spanish Civil Affairs Bureau, the validity of the certificate is only three months at most. If you are married in Spain and are not registered in the embassy or consulate, the proof of husband-wife relationship that needs to be produced when you change your residence must be issued in advance at the local civil registration office of the original registration place; If your spouse is Spanish, you need to make such proof and preparation in advance when you change EU family members. In particular, family members of Spanish citizens who are not citizens of origin, that is, those who will be naturalized in the future, will take longer to process because their marriage files are filed in the central registry, which is in Madrid.

Health notarization, which proves the health status of the parties in a period of time. Applicants for family reunion and work residence should not apply for health notarization too early.

The same is true of the certificate of no criminal record, which is valid for only 6 months. The calculation date is based on the notarization date, not counting from the certification date.

Spanish laws are different from those in China. Most certificates issued by Spanish government agencies are only valid for three months, such as residence certificate, marriage certificate, including birth certificate, etc. However, because it is relatively simple and brief to go to the relevant authorities to issue relevant certificates, it is suggested that you temporarily issue a new certificate when necessary!

According to the new provisions of the Aliens Law, people who originally came to Spain for family reunion need to show proof of housing conditions when changing their family residence. The certificate is issued by the relevant departments of the local city and district government. If your place of residence has not changed, the address on the residence permit does not need to be changed, and you can also use the proof of living conditions at that time. However, many overseas Chinese have changed their residences after their families came to Spain and need to provide new certificates. It will take some time to process this certificate. Generally, it is not handled in the urban areas of big cities, and the applicant needs to go to the notary office himself. Therefore, if you apply for this certificate, you need to make preparations in advance so as not to delay the replacement of your residence permit.
