Can someone recommend a solicitor who can help me with a Spanish passport application? Thanks.

I'm curious to know why you need the help of a solicitor? Is the application process difficult?

A precautionary note, if you are a UK or Irish citizen seeking to hold a Spanish Passport you will have to renounce your British/Irish citizenship first. Further information by clicking on the following link:

To obtain Spanish citizenship is a lengthy process, requiring all kinds of hoop jumping and before beginning the process you need to have been legally resident for ten years. You cannot just decide to apply for a Spanish passport, unfortunately.

To obtain a Spanish passport you must first meet the requirements to be a Spanish citizen which as the previous poster stated requires several things, a solicitor to help with gaining citizenship can be found easily by Googling it if you meet the requirements.

I've contacted several who have either been unable to help me or are charging way too much. Plus they could.only help with the passport and not the citizenship.

Try these for the citizenship part, they may also be able to help with the passport if you gain citizenship.

As to the cost, it is what it is for a complicated process, if you don’t want to pay the price then I think you need to decide if you want it enough.

What are you talking about? Someone else quoted 300 euros instead of 1500 euros.

At that cost differential, you need to establish exactly what is included in both quotes.

You said in your post that the ones you contacted could not help with the citizenship, the link I gave you will help with the citizenship.

You need to alter your attitude when someone is trying to be helpful, do what you want it makes no difference to me.
