The Libro de Familia, Spanish Family Book, is a family register usually handed over to Spanish citizens when they get married.
This register, which is a little book contains stamped copies of the marriage, birth of children, etc. is issued by the Spanish Ministry of Justice.
Citizens of other nationalities may also get the Libro de Familia when they are living and get married in Spain.
There is not an equivalent of this register in the UK.
An official translation of the Libro de Familia into English may be needed when a Spanish family moves to the UK for work purposes or when the spouses get married in Spain but start divorce proceedings in the UK.
Official translators will have to produce an accurate official translation of a document without an equivalent in the UK.
