I have a Spanish gentleman who has worked with our company for many years and has recently retired. He fled Spain during the Franco regime as a teenager. His father was shot in front of him, which was quite traumatic. He came to England with no identification documents e.g. birth certificate or passport in the late 1950’s and was given the right to stay. He has never had a UK passport or travelled outside the UK. I understand that he longs to return to Spain in his final years and see if he can find any relatives. Can you give me some guidance on how I might help him apply for a Spanish passport ? Over the years he has never been able to get any copies of his birth certificate from Spain as these were destroyed and the Spanish Embassy in London was not very helpful to him.

I would appreciate any advice.
