A marriage certificate may be requested as part of a Spanish visa application where your marital status is relevant to the way you’re applying. This most commonly applies when you are applying with a spouse, declaring a dependant, or submitting a joint or family-based application.
Spanish consulates use the marriage certificate to confirm the legal relationship between applicants and to assess visa requirements that depend on family status. For this reason, consulates often ask for a recently issued marriage certificate, along with the required apostille and Spanish sworn translation.
If you are applying on your own and not declaring a spouse or dependant, a marriage certificate is usually not required. Requirements can vary by visa type and consulate, so it’s always sensible to check the guidance for your specific application.
When a UK-issued marriage certificate is submitted as part of a Spanish visa application, it usually needs to be formally prepared for use in Spain.
The UK Hague Apostille, issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), confirms that the marriage certificate is an authentic UK public document. This legalisation step allows Spanish authorities to recognise the certificate for official purposes.
In addition, Spanish consulates generally require supporting documents to be submitted in Spanish. This means the marriage certificate must be accompanied by a Spanish sworn translation (traducción jurada), completed by a sworn translator authorised in Spain. A sworn translation carries official legal status and is typically required for visa applications.
By ensuring the marriage certificate is both apostilled and correctly translated, the document is prepared in the format Spanish consulates normally expect, helping your visa application proceed smoothly.

You may be able to use an existing marriage certificate if it is recent and meets consular requirements. If the certificate is older, applicants are often asked to provide a newly issued official copy, along with the required apostille and Spanish sworn translation.
