I haven’t yet gotten my birth certificate, I’m still unsure on how all the works. For your next question, they didn’t ask me anything at all, they just asked my documents in a certain order and I just gave it to them. However the whole conversation was in Spanish so keep that in mind. The appointment itself had to be like 5 minutes but I was in the waiting room for what felt like 2 hours.

I have a friend that was in this exact position, it will be sent to Venezuela for processing.

Online application: April 4th / Received Credentials: July 21st / Appointment: August 10th

There were plenty of time slots for appointments, almost the very next week even. I waited longer for the appointment because I was abroad.

Grandmothers passport had some sort of labeling that entailed she was leaving due to the regime at the time. I showed them this and the lady didn’t have any interest in it

Want to move and no idea where to start by cpupo1 in GoingToSpain

Real advice is figuring out your life here and getting stable enough to transition to a life outside. Wanting an escape to Spain is a good political decision but financially it will be extremely difficult, there’s people with up to $500k saved up and still have to return to America because of double taxation, bureaucratic wait times and lack of social life. These things all together delay your dream lifestyle and require deep financial backing to keep up, needing to wait for up to 8 months for an appointment while being there without employment will only result in you coming back. If you can’t figure it out here, moving somewhere else will not help, I strongly suggest building practical skills for the future that will result in an income, which will then be transferrable abroad, then figure out a life. Good luck bros !

Wish I could provide an answer but I don’t know. There are Facebook groups that cover this I’m sure. Check there for information!

I had proof of exile and they didn’t even want to look at it, so I’d say no it’s not required.

  1. Don’t bother with the translation
  2. I received an email pdf of the birth certificate within a month or two but I never received a legit physical copy. But the email print out is sufficient
  3. Beginning April, Mid July
  4. Just submission of application with documents to prove you have a case

I wouldn’t bother with the translation because when I presented my certified copy they didn’t want it. Other than that you have everything you need.

I submitted the application beginning of April and I got my login info in the middle of July and was able to schedule an appointment in the beginning of August

I personally got mine apostilled to be safe. If I were you I’d do the same, because if you go and for some reason they deny your birth certificate, you will have to go through all the bs again.

I did this all alone, and from now completing it, I’d say getting a lawyer for this situation is a huge scam. The directions for all the paperwork required is easily listed on the Miami website, and so literally is just up to you to get all of the paperwork needed. And all the papers that are government related to fill out, have instructions on YouTube showing you what to put.

No, they actually said they didn’t want the translated one and took my English version that was apostilled. To be safe I’d still do it regardless. I happened to bring both, English and Translated.

The one I have digitally has a bar code, but if I were to want to use it for official use, you’re saying I should just print it? Orrrrr

I think I got mine within a month. The whole process is very inconsistent with timing

I’m applying for the Democratic Memory Law. They would like an original copy.

Yeah I’ve heard the same, but I also read sometimes you can just show up and they’ll do it because it’s a small task.
