The Spanish Embassy's Consular Section serves Spanish citizens and foreigners residing permanently in Ireland with matters involving Spanish authorities, such as passports, notary services and certain specific legal transactions, family law, citizenship and military service. The Consular Section assists Spanish citizens in distress, gives information on the services provided by Spanish authorities and the legal protection available to private citizens, and advises on general procedures related to legal or administrative matters in Spain and Austria. The Spanish Embassy also arranges for absentee voting in Spanish elections. Foreign citizens can consult the Embassy's Consular Section on matters related to visas and entry permits.

Documents that can be processed by Consulates are passports, renewals of the national identity card (DNI), certificates of existence, Residency Certificates and Cancellations of Consular Registration Certificates.

Spanish citizens registered in the Register of Spanish citizens living abroad in Spanish consular offices have the right to renew and apply for Spanish passports. Although passports must be processed in their place of residence, Spanish citizens travelling abroad can apply for a new passport at the consular offices along their route in case of:

• Loss or theft
• Expiry
• Approaching the expiry date
• Damage
• Lack of free pages

To be issued with a passport, applicants must present one of the following documents: original valid national identify card (DNI), the passport to be replaced or official birth certificate. If none of these documents is available, the consular office will consult the central authorities and, when Spanish identity and nationality has been verified, it will issue the passport, with the possibility of limiting its validity to three months.

To return to Spain, the consular office may issue a laissez-passer travel document valid solely for returning to Spain.

Spanish citizens residing abroad must register with the Consular Register corresponding to the district where they live. Spanish citizens residing abroad must register with the Consular Register corresponding to the district where they live. Registration allows them to renew their documentation, to be able to prove their residence abroad and to participate in elections called in Spain, except municipal elections, as well as to request consular assistance in situations of need.

Facts concerning the civil status of people and other situations determined by law are recorded in the Civil Register. Each consular area has a Civil Registration office. This body is divided into four sections: births and general, marriages, deaths, and guardians and legal representatives. It is made up from Municipal Registers by the first instance judge, assisted by the secretary; the Consular Registers, by the Consuls of Spain abroad, and the central Civil Register. The offices of each consular district submit a duplicate of the records made locally to the central Civil Register.
