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

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

Thanks for the link, it maybe handy, I have put it in Free Beer thread at top of page also.

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

you could also try www.babycentre.co.uk and go to forums and you will find one for parents in spain.

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

Joanne who posts here wrote a great article about giving birth in Spain which you might find useful.

Thanks for that Sue, have copied it and passed it onto a friend who is pregnant
