A Registration Space of the Kingdom of Spain: The Sector of the Acts of Civil Status

Abstract

A registration space of the Kingdom of Spain that covers the legal statuses of subjects and the legal  regimes of objects, is represented by three zones: international, public and private. The state registration area can be contingently divided into four sectors: Civil Status Registry Office, Notary, commercial and fiscal sectors. The  author chooses the civil status registry office sector as a subject of research, since she believes that the registration  of acts of civil status that determines the legal status of persons, identifies and individualizes participants in legal  relations, is of primary importance in the registration space. Thus, the record of the birth of a child is the beginning  of his social life (not biological). It is the record of the birth of a child that generates a stable political and legal  relation with the state expressed in the acquisition of citizenship and it confirms the chil’s legal capacity. The author  believes that the study of foreign experience of legal regulation, especially in modern conditions of digitalization,  contributes to the improvement of their own legislation.
