Who can recover Spanish nationality?

Generally, anyone who was previously Spanish and lost that status for a specific legal reason. The key is to review how the loss occurred and the current registry position.

Do I always need to reside in Spain to recover it?

Not always. It depends on the specific scenario and the rules applicable to the reason for the loss. That is why the case should be reviewed before starting.

What if the loss happened because I did not declare my intention to retain it?

That is one of the most common situations. We review your registry record, confirm whether recovery is available and prepare the documents to reactivate the case correctly.
