Another thing all together is being entitled to both Spanish and British passports by right of birth and holding them simultaneously. If you are dual nationality it says that in your passport. Dual nationality is a specific legal thing which some countries recognise and others don't. People confuse dual nationality with having two passports. The children have British passports which I applied for from Spain and there was no problem at all.

I am English and live in Spain, married to a Spaniard. When she tried to do a British passport in Spain she was told that it was not possible for the same reason that Good to Better has said I know that if you live in Spain things are different as I have an English friend living in Spain and married to a Spanish man. I found them very helpful and explained to me every thing. My advice to you would be to call the Spanish Consulate and talk to them. They are now considering registering in England as a Spanish citizen as it is easier than doing it in Spain. When they went back to Spain after her son was born (having only British passport), she found it very difficult to get him registered with the doctors as he is a foreigner. Her first daughter was born in Spain and her son was born in England. I also have a friend married to an English man but she is Spanish. This will help as if you decide to return to Spain and your children have only British passport you will struggle to register them at the doctors. However if you live in England things are different and you can get a Spanish passport for your children. When she tried to do a British passport in Spain she was told that it was not possible for the same reason that Good to Better has said. DD won't have to choose between being British or Spanish. When DD is registered they will give us 'el libro de familia' and then we can apply for a Spanish passport. She can hold both passports as she has an English father and a Spanish mother. I have recently contacted the Spanish consulate wishing to register her in the Registro Civil Espanol.

DD was born in Britain and has a British passport.
