Weve worked out what this is now.

Not sure if it will be a problem or not but is needed tomorrow for daughters school entry and we dont have it.

Anyone have any advice.

Thanks.

Of course you don't, you're English.

The family book is given in Spain upon marriage or if there is none upon registration of the first child. The school can't insist you produce documents that don't exist, so don't worry about it. Maybe you could show them the birth certificate instead.

Thought maybe we would have to have one made up through the consulate or something.

Thanks for the info anyway.Hope its simple then.

At the very worst they could ask for a copy birth certificate and una traducción jurada of that document (i.e. translated and sworn by someone registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an Official Translator).

There is a lady in the free beer thread that did one for our grand daughter for her school.

Don't worry! My daughter has been to 3 different schools, it is listed as one of the documents required, but there has never been a problem not having one. As we are english and the children have not been born here we are not expected to have it.

we made up our own version and it always did fine

just take copies of all your passports, redidency cards/certs, birth, marriage certs, NIE´s, padron, rental contract,

put it all in a folder and bobs your uncle, what we also did was translate it to Spanish for them (copied from a fellow expat)

like I say, always was accepted when needed

There's no requirement for parents to be married for their kids to be allowed to attend school. BTW how many marraige certificates have you got?

spain

I didnt say there was, just sometimes it was needed for certain things so was easier to make up a book (once) that had everything in it, well for me anyway

well now that would be telling !!!!

we were never asked for it either, like the others said just take birth certificate, marriage, passport and anything else. What school is she going to be attending?? we are in Aspe and have friends with kids in various schools here.
