Giving birth in Spain?

My wife and I are British. What happens if she gives birth in Spain? Would the child have any British rights? I think you know what I mean :confused: :D

Hola,

your child would be registered in Spain but would be British. You can apply for a british birth cerificate and passport. Perhaps your wife might be interested in www.mumsinspain.com

Hey Lucy

I am due to give birth in a few weeks here in Spain and have found that link very useful. Do you have any others?

Thanks for the link, I was given it some time ago and was going to post it, but site did not work, maybe I was given wrong address.

Have passed it onto my daughter, grandaughter 11 months now

Hi You can register the birth at the British Embassy then the child would be a Brit with all that goes with it. www.ukinspain.com
