If you are a Spanish citizen who has moved to New Jersey, you should register your residence abroad with the appropriate Spanish Consulate.
This process is completed through the Consular Registration Registry (Registro de Matrícula Consular) and allows you to keep your information updated as a Spanish citizen living outside Spain.
What Documents Do You Need for Spanish Consular Registration?
To apply for resident registration, you should prepare the following documents:
- Resident Registration Form: Includes your personal information and details about your new residence in the United States.
- Electoral Municipality Selection Form: Allows you to designate your municipality of reference for electoral registration purposes.
- Identification Document: Your Spanish national ID (DNI) or Spanish passport, as applicable.
- Additional Documentation: The Consulate may request other documents to verify your identity and residence.
Which Spanish Consulate Should You Contact?
If you live in New Jersey, your application falls under the jurisdiction of the Consulate General of Spain in New York, which also serves residents of Connecticut, Delaware, New York, and Pennsylvania.
You can submit your documents in person by scheduling an appointment or send them by postal mail, following the Consulate’s official instructions. Applications for consular registration are not accepted by email.
