Hello to Spain. I am an American with rights to obtain dual citizenship with Spain and get a Spanish passport. I have written the Justice Dept in Spain but I have yet to receive any answers. Can anyone tell me how to apply in English for a passport? Thanks.

I would suggest you to go to the Spanish consulate website and there you will be able to obtain the information you are seeking.

Just curious how as an American citizen you have rights to obtain dual citizenship with Spain...I am also American and interested in obtaining citizenship with Spain but thought dual citizenship was not possible. Would appreciate discussing further with you this subject to better understand if possible for me. I hope to hear back from you on this as I have been so desiring this for quite some time. Regards, clothman!

It is possible. I have a double nationality because my father was Spanish.

Shirley...thanks for the reply. The last time I spoke with Spanish Consulate in Houston, was informed I would have to renounce my US citizenship because US and Spain did not have some sort of agreement in place allowing me to have both at same time. I too have Spanish parent from Madrid, half my relatives there, visit them often, and I was actually born there...so positive that I could obtain citizenship at some point in future based on direct lineage, just wondering if both can be had same time or one had to be renounced as informed by SP Consulate in Houston. Appreciate the discussion...we can go private email if you wish. Thanks, clothman!

Foreign nationals that acquire the Spanish nationality lose their previous nationality, unless they were natural born citizens of an Iberoamerican country, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea or Portugal, which are considered as Spanish Communities outside Spain and part of the original territory of the Spanish State in the 1812 constitution.Of course you can simply retain your previous passport/nationality,but as far as Spain is concerned you are solely Spanish.There are tens of thousands of North Africans who have obtained Spanish passports but still retain their passport of country of birth.
