Re: Registering a birth in Spain - not allowed middle names?! help needed please

Our request was refused for a second time.
We followed advice and tried putting all three names as forenames without calling them second or middle names, but the women who dealt with us...

Re: Registering a birth in Spain - not allowed middle names?! help needed please

I hope so. We will try but it comes down to whether they will allow us to put three names on the form when the form states only two allowed.

Re: Registering a birth in Spain - not allowed middle names?! help needed please

Re: Registering a birth in Spain - not allowed middle names?! help needed please

Thanks Rachelk.

The woman did say that hyphenated first name - eg: Juan-Jose - were allowed which obviously doesn´t help us. After some gentle pushing from us, she did suggest that she could put...
