Complete the jura/promesa (oath of fidelity to the King and obedience to the Constitution, art. 23 Código Civil) at the Registro Civil — must be done within 180 days of the grant notification or the concession lapses

The last formal act of becoming Spanish, exactly as the title describes: the oath of fidelity to the King and obedience to the Constitution, sworn at the Registro Civil. The title's deadline is the one thing to respect — the grant lapses if the jura isn't completed in its window after notification. After years of process, this one is an appointment and a sentence — enjoy it.

WHEN IT'S DUE

Follows “Submit your naturalisation (nationality by residence) application to the Ministry of Justice” — due within 365 days once that step is done.

WHY IT MATTERS

A legal requirement for your situation. Verified against an official government source (AEAT, extranjería, BOE).
