Hi Aurelia,

As far as I know Spain does not contemplate dual citizenship with France, unless of course, a dual citizenship agreement has been signed between both countries. If you are unsure about the information you have been given by the Spanish Consulate, you can refer directly to any Civil Registry in Spain (Registro Civil). They will be able to help you. It would also be interesting to know (but don't use this information to conclude on the matter! ) what the French law states with regards to dual citizenship with Spain.

With regards to your other query it would seem that your mother is Spaniard of origin by virtue of " Ius sanguinis". You are going to have to check whether you are, again by speaking to your nearest Spanish Consulate or directly with any civil registry in Spain.
