What Is an “Express Divorce” in Spain and When Is It Possible?
An “Express Divorce” is a streamlined procedure for marital separation that can be pursued when two conditions are met: both spouses agree to the divorce, and the couple has no minor children in their care.
An Express Divorce is processed before a notary, not in court
One of the key factors that makes this process so fast is that an Express Divorce does not require going through the courts. It is processed directly before a notary, and at Toscanolex we know exactly how to prepare each case file so that the notary can proceed without any setbacks or delays.
This is one of the major advantages we offer our clients: a smooth, orderly process that is resolved in the shortest time possible.
Which notary is authorized to handle an express divorce in Spain?
The choice of notary depends on the spouses’ place of residence. If they live in different cities, for example, one in Ibiza and the other in Málaga. at Toscanolex we analyze which option is most convenient and choose the notary in the town where at least one of the spouses is registered as a resident.
These types of decisions, which may seem minor, make a big difference in processing times. Our experience allows us to make them quickly and judiciously.
Required documentation: we guide you through every step.
To file for an express divorce before a notary, you need three basic documents:
Marriage certificate: It must be valid and, if issued abroad, apostilled and translated.
Proof of residence: For at least one of the spouses.
ID card (DNI) or Foreigner Identification Number (NIE) for both parties.
At Toscanolex, we review the documentation from the very beginning to identify any issues before they cause a delay. That’s the difference of working with specialists.
Express Divorce for Foreigners Residing in Spain
This procedure is also available to foreign nationals residing in Spain. In these cases, the NIE replaces the DNI, and at Toscanolex, we are thoroughly familiar with the specific requirements that apply to international clients on the Costa del Sol, in Marbella, Torremolinos, and Ibiza.
We work with clients from dozens of different nationalities. The international nature of a case doesn’t complicate things for us—it defines us.
