Hi one week ago I asked here what questions do they ask in civil registro during the interview for the mariage between foreigner and Spanish, and unfortunately, didnt find any answer with the list of approximate questions. We are just back from our interview in civil registro and I would like to post questions they asked us. We thought it can be useful for some of you.
Also, reading posts on many forums we made a conclusion that mariage procedure here would take up to 6 months maybe more. We are surprised that in our case finall decision is taken within 1 month (after submitting documents) in civil registro and then town hall issues the date to pick up libro de familia, so we assume it will take few extra weeks. We live in a small town maybe
things here work faster and also people in civil registro office here were extermely helpful

What are his/her hobbies?

Why did you decide to come to Spain and not your finacee to your country?

As far as I understood in civil registro they use a a standard list of questions, but since they interviewed us separetely and I was second in a turn, the questions for me were based on the answers given by my fiancee previously. Interview lasted for approximately 20 minutes and the lady who interviewd us was very very helpful.
She would give me key words to remember more easily correct answer.Generally for the couple who live together questions wont be hard to answer but still I would recommend to have a small rehearsal prior to interview, because some questions can be ambigous, say, there could be several favourite dishes and both of you would call different names. We had almost perfect match in our answers.

Super helpful! Thanks and good luck with your approval although it sounds like you won’t need it. 😊

can i as yanagnia…which small town it was?

Algeciras, Cadiz. In fact my fiancee was living in Madrid but when we decided to get married we thought it would be wise to move to a smaller place, because we knew how long and painful will be paperwork in Madrid. Luckily his company had a branch in Algeciras, so he moved here 2 months prior to my arrival. And here was first miracle - the invitation for obtaining my visa was prepared by police within, believe it or not, .....3 days! Then we submitted docs to Civil Registro and ... I have mentioned the dates already. However we also have our sacrifice - Algeciras is a dull town to live in, ugly, mainly industrial area, huge port nothing more. I got very depressed in the beginning. But the choice was concious and apparently very good. In few months we plan to leave for greater area of Spain!

We got married 18 months ago now, and weren’t asked half of the question listed above, certainly nothing about how we met and where and each others family. But they did a living together test, where they ask one partner questions on their likes, hobbies etc and then ask the other partner the same questions about their other half - checking yo do ‘know’ your intended.
It would seem the more rehearsed you are the more false it may seem….as maybe each town/area has different questions - like the papers each town hall needs for the marriage seem to vary from region to region - we supplied less papers than our friends who married 6 months prior to us but in a different town.
