Fully Registered

Yesterday, our exceedingly helpful and friendly site administrator met me at the registro civil to help me fill out the birth certificate paperwork. I could read the requirements, but as the data fields are structure for Spanish citizens; including DNI (national identify number), two last names, etc I wanted to make sure I did it right. I had only one form. We got everything handed in with no problems. Bianca was put into the big book of births and we received our libro de familia a Spanish standard. We'll have four, count 'em, copies of her birth certificate on Wednesday. I love this country. In Italy it would take two months and they'd spell something wrong.

We also found out that there is a U.S. Consulate in La Coruna; which the admin already contacted and they are sending all the necessary paperwork to us we need to register Bianca with the U.S. authorities. She'll have her little passport in time for Christmas.
