A question from a client today: 

Hi

I need a couple of questions answered if possible. My son's partner whom he lives with have lived here for 10 years and been a resident since 2007 her British passport runs out on end of march and she was wondering whether she could get a Spanish one instead or does she have to get a British one. She needs to apply for nationality first and she will get the passport after this

Also there due to have a baby boy on XX of XXXXXX of march and they are naming him  XXXX XXXX XXXX  the last name being our family surname can the baby have a Spanish passport. as both parents are residents over here. This does not give Spanish nationality to the baby. and does this affect the name of the baby because we heard that if the baby has a Spanish passport it means he has to have the mothers family name as his last name my son and his partner are both British but as I said they are both residents and living together and on the same padron

If that boy obtained Spanish Nationality ( he/she can request it once her mom obtains it, always provided her mom request it before he/she is born), he/she will have two last names. Generally father´s last name is first and mother´s last name is second but, they have a right to shift it.
