In general, it is required that they are of legal age, that they live together in a stable manner and that they are not united by any previous marriage or domestic partnership.
  2. Documentation: Once the requirements have been verified, the two interested parties must present a series of documents to initiate the domestic partnership process. These documents may include the certificate of joint census registration, identity card, declaration of cohabitation, among others.
  3. Application: With the required documentation, individuals must go to the civil registry or the competent body in their municipality to submit the application for registration as a domestic partner. It is important to note that both must appear in person before the civil registry to sign the application.
  4. Registration: Once the application is submitted, and after verifying that all requirements are met, the unmarried couple will be registered in the corresponding registry. From this moment on, the couple obtains an official certificate accrediting their status as a domestic partner.
  5. Legal effects: By registering as a domestic partner, the two people acquire a series of rights and benefits in various areas, such as tax, labor, social security, inheritance, among others. These rights and benefits vary according to the regulations in force in each autonomous community, so it is important to find out about the specific advantages in Barcelona.

Advantages for foreigners with a Spanish partner

This authorization may be temporary or permanent, depending on various factors such as the duration of the relationship and the employment situation of the applicant.
