Acknowledgement of non-marital parentage before the Registro Civil or a notary (CC arts. 120-126 + Ley 20/2011)

Acknowledgement of non-marital parentage before the Registro Civil or a notary (CC arts. 120-126 + Ley 20/2011) is filed with Registro Civil / Notaría. With Managora you do it 100% online: you answer a few questions, sign a digital mandato (power of representation) and we draft, sign and file your application for you. Estimated total cost: from €49.

Voluntary acknowledgement of non-marital parentage: we prepare and file your acknowledgement in person before the Registro Civil (Civil Registry) (CC 120.1) or in a public deed before our own notary (CC 120.2), including acknowledgement by will, the ratification of a parent who is a minor (CC 121) and the acknowledgement of a child who has already died (CC 126). Where the child is a minor or is conceived but not yet born, we obtain the express consent of the legal representative, which is what makes the acknowledgement effective without going to court (CC 124). If there is no voluntary acknowledgement and paternity has to be claimed through litigation (CC 131), those proceedings require a lawyer and a procurador (court agent) and are NOT included in this service.
