The service at a glance
WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT PROMISED
Nationality by residence turns on counting the years and on the continuity of lawful residence. A file that does not evidence those two points well is refused even where the time has been served.
What it includes: checking the residence period that applies to your case; obtaining and ordering criminal record and birth certificates; electronic filing and payment of the fee; tracking and answering requests. What it does not include: it does not include the culture and language exams or their results, and does not guarantee the grant, which is for the Ministry of Justice.
DOCUMENTS YOU WILL NEED
Full birth certificate, apostilled and translated.
Criminal record certificate from your country of origin.
Municipal registration certificate and residence card.
Culture and language diplomas where required.
INDICATIVE TIMING
We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.
Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 7 and 15 working days.
Legal deadline: one year from entry of the application at the competent unit of the Ministry of Justice, with silence meaning refusal; in practice it depends on the backlog and the year of filing.
See the pricing page for how we charge this kind of matter.

Frequently asked questions
HOW MANY YEARS DO I NEED?
It depends on your nationality of origin and your circumstances: there are ten, five, two and one-year periods. We check first.
DO I HAVE TO RENOUNCE MY NATIONALITY?
It depends on the country. For several Latin American countries, Portugal, Andorra, the Philippines and Equatorial Guinea it is not required.
IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME WITH NO ANSWER.
An appeal on grounds of silence is possible. The appeal is a separate service, and assessing whether it is worth triggering is advice from a professional in our network.
