If you have to travel to another country with your child, you have to take into account a series of requirements to fulfill, of course, that will always depend on the country where you are and the country of destination, in the case of Spain, if you have to travel to any other country that belongs to the European Union, The family book and the ID of the parents will be sufficient as necessary documentation.
In the rest of the countries, the passport is essential for both children and parents and even for greater accreditation, the family book. In addition, depending on the country where we go, we may also be required to have a visa that is usually requested in advance, although the best thing if you have any questions is to go to the embassy of the country that we are going to visit, as they will assure us what documentation we need.
In African countries, a vaccination card is also required that certifies that we have been vaccinated against some diseases that usually occur in the country of destination. If you need to take your child's passport, you must provide the literal birth certificate, a photo of your card-sized child and your or your partner's ID. With these requirements you get a passport that is valid for two years if your child is under five. On some occasions, when you request the literal birth certificate, they may not give it to you in time to prepare your passport, but you don't have to worry, since you can obtain a temporary passport of up to 6 months of validity.
For faster documentation management, you can obtain the literal birth certificate through the web page of the Spanish Ministry of Justice.
Also through the network you can get a list of the police stations where the documentation is processed on the Spanish Ministry of Interior page.
