Spain death certificate apostille: questions
Ministerio de Justicia / Gerencias Territoriales, or the Tribunal Superior de Justicia for judicial documents. Issued by: Registro Civil of the place of the event – Spain issues electronic apostilles; the certificado plurilingüe replaces translation in CIEC states.
Yes. The apostille must be issued in Spain, but you do not have to be there: we organise a suitable original where possible, the submission to the competent authority and delivery of the apostilled death certificate anywhere. The notary reviews your application first.
An Article 12 objection is in force between Spain and Kosovo; documents for these countries are legalised or verified instead. Non-Convention countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait always need legalisation.
The HCCH record lists: The High Courts of Justice and the Ministry of Justice do not charge for the issuance of an Apostille. The Professional Association of Notaries charges between € 3.50 and € 7.50.. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately in your quote.
In most countries only relatives in the direct line, spouses and persons with a legal interest can obtain it. With your authorisation and proof of kinship we order it from the registry and take it straight to the apostille authority.
Usually yes when it is used abroad. It is a court or notarial document, so it is apostilled by the authority responsible for judicial documents in the issuing country. We submit both documents in parallel to save time.
