Hello,

I am half Spanish, my mother is from Sevilla and I also lived in Spain as a child.  I am very proud of my Spanish heritage and I travel back once a year.  I think it is sad that I can not stay longer because I do not have Spanish nationality. 

Is there any way I could go about getting a Spanish passport?  I was born in April 1978.  Some have said yes while others have said no.  I just would like some clarification.

Being Spanish is part of my identity.  I feel a strong connection to my mother’s country.  I even have a Master’s degree in Spanish Literature and Art.  I would really love some information!

Thanks a lot,

Jessica

1 where you bron there 2 where from , ie pasport ?

I have a U.S. passport and was born in the U.S.  My father is American and my mother is Spanish…she still retains her Spanish nationality.  Does this entitle me to become a Spanish national?

Thanks,
Jessica

Need to head two the spanish embassy and start the paper trail there Jessica

Agreed. If your mother has retained her Spanish nationality, then you should have an easy (enough) time getting your passport. I believe you must take your mother with her passport to the embassy. That this point they will probably get her to file for a Libro de Familia (search around the site here for more on that). That will be your ticket into the system.
