Obtaining citizenship through a civil partnership
Spain is a somewhat peculiar country when it comes to civil partnerships. Each autonomous community has different regulations; there's no single registry for all of them. So, you could say that you can have a different civil partnership in each community without any problem.
Spain is a somewhat peculiar country when it comes to civil partnerships. Each autonomous community has different regulations; there's no single registry for all of them. Therefore, you could say that you can have a different civil partnership in each community without any problem.
But do you know what it means to be in a civil partnership? Because it's often confused with marriage, but they are completely different institutions, although they do share certain nuances.
A de facto union is one that develops under a daily, stable coexistence, with a duration that has been consolidated over the years, publicly and with proven joint actions of the interested parties.
Like marriage, its objective is to create a shared life together. So, given all this, why aren't they considered legally equivalent?
Basically, because cohabitation is entered into by people who do not want to incur the personal and financial consequences that marriage entails.
With the main points clarified, how can one obtain Spanish nationality through a civil partnership?
This type of union arose primarily for same-sex couples who could not marry in a church but wanted to unite their wills and be "married." Currently, this type of union is suitable for all types of couples.
According to Rafael Pérez, legal advisor at the General Directorate for Children and Families of the Andalusian Regional Government, "Since 2010 the issue has spiraled out of control legally." "It was deadly. People arrived from 97 different countries around the world, that says it all."
On November 3 of that year, an important ruling was published in the BOE (Official State Gazette) that equated civil partnerships with marriages in matters of immigration and residence permits.
Previously, marriage was required to register a civil partnership, but this is no longer the case. Couples now only need to provide documentation proving their relationship.
This is where problems can arise, as the Registry relies on the good faith of individuals and believes the data provided.
