Requirements and fees at Spanish consulates
Almost every Spanish consular procedure asks for the same things, and having them ready saves a second visit.
On fees, precisely: consular fees are published in a per-office list updated every 1 January, and visa fees are set by the Visa Code. The verified ones are below; anything else you ask when you book.
What almost every procedure asks for
- A valid identity document: DNI or Spanish passport, or a foreign passport
- Being on the consular register, for nearly anything involving Spanish nationals
- A recent full birth certificate where the procedure requires one
- Proof of residence in the district: driver’s license or a lease
- Proof of US immigration status if you are not a US citizen
- That particular office’s appointment, which is free
The verified fees

| Spanish passport in the United States: renewal and first passport | 35 USD |
| Criminal record certificate: the Spanish one and the FBI one | €3.86 |
| Do US citizens need a visa for Spain? The 90-day rule | 0 USD |
| Spanish citizenship by descent: the grandchildren law and option | free |

| Minor's travel authorization | 9 USD |
Where to ask about the rest
Anything not published gets asked when you book. And if the office's answer differs from what you read elsewhere, believe the office: fees change every 1 January and third-party lists age badly.
We are not an official body. consuladosespana.us collects and checks information on Spanish consulates in the United States, with no link to the Government of Spain.
No appointments are booked here and nothing is charged for. Always confirm the detail with the office that covers you.
