01

What Is the Democratic Memory Law?

The Democratic Memory Law (Ley de Memoria Democrática) allows descendants of Spaniards who were forced into exile for political, ideological, or religious reasons between 1936 and 1975 to reclaim Spanish nationality — regardless of current residence.

This law creates a unique, time-limited opportunity to reconnect with your Spanish heritage and secure EU citizenship

Who Qualifies?

You may be eligible if:

  • Your parent, grandparent or great-grandparent was born in Spain and left due to political or economic exile.

  • You are the child of someone who became a Spanish citizen through the 2007 Historical Memory Law.

  • You were born abroad to a Spanish mother or father who lost or never claimed Spanish nationality.

  • You can prove a direct line of descent and connection to a person exiled during the Franco dictatorship.
