What Is Personal Information in Spanish?

Personal information is the basic information you share when you meet someone for the first time. Learning how to talk about personal information in Spanish is essential for Spanish beginners (A1 level), whether you are learning Spanish for travel, work, studies or personal interest.

In Spanish, personal information usually includes:

• First name → nombre

• Age → edad
• Nationality → nacionalidad
• Place of residence → lugar de residencia
• Job / profession → profesión
