Question 1

Is an Apostille required for Slovak documents submitted in Spain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under the Hague Convention, Slovak notarial deeds, affidavits, and corporate documents must bear an international Apostille certificate to be accepted by Spanish registries, notaries, and tax authorities.

Question 2

How do I prove capacity to marry in Spain as a Slovak citizen?

Accepted Answer

Since Slovakia ceased issuing certificates of legal capacity to marry (Certificado de capacidad matrimonial) in 2006, Spanish civil registries require a notary-certified statutory declaration of marital status (Declaración jurada de estado civil) with an Apostille and sworn translation into Spanish.

Question 3

Can a Slovak parent company adopt sole shareholder decisions for a Spanish S.L. remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The statutory representative signs the sole shareholder decision (Decisiones del socio único S.L.) before a Slovak notary. Once apostilled and translated into Spanish, it can be filed directly with the Spanish commercial registry.
