THE SPANISH PASSPORT

Description

THE SPANISH PASSPORT
If you are a foreign resident in Spain with Spanish citizenship, you will be able to apply for a Spanish passport. Getting a passport will mean that you can travel abroad as an EU citizen and enjoy any benefits overseas that this may bring.

Spanish passports are issued by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation (Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperacion). In 2006, Spain began issuing biometric passports with an electronic chip containing the key personal information of the passport holder. The standard biometric passport is a 32-page burgundy booklet containing the holder’s photograph, signature, key personal information and unique passport number. Spanish passports issued today include the holder’s fingerprints.
