Your preliminary eligibility assessment for Spain citizenship by descent through your great grandparent, born 1900, emigrated 1920, who never naturalized.
Preliminary score
Based on your 4-question intake. A definitive opinion requires document review by counsel.
What this means
Based on what you told us — your great grandparent from Spain, born in 1900 and emigrated in 1920, who never naturalized in another country — your preliminary eligibility score is 100 out of 100, which we rate as "strong."
This is a preliminary assessment based on the four questions you answered. A definitive eligibility opinion requires document review: the ancestor's Spain birth certificate, the chain of vital records, and the naturalization (or no-record) documentation. Ancestra's case leads provide that written opinion within 48 hours of a consultation, at no charge.
Your case looks promising. The next step is to book a free consultation — a case lead will review your facts in detail, identify the specific statute that applies, and quote a fixed fee in writing.
How we scored your case
Spain has one of the more accessible citizenship-by-descent regimes. Our counsel has filed many cases here.
A great grandparent connection is covered by some regimes (Italy, Poland, Germany, Israel, Hungary). We'll verify whether Spain permits it.
Your ancestor never naturalized in another country. This is the strongest possible position — the citizenship line was never broken.
Your ancestor emigrated at age 20 — typical for the era, and means they likely departed as an adult citizen of Spain.
