The Segovia Registration (Spanish: La Matricula de Segovia) was a procedure opened on February 20, 1856, by the consular president of Spain in Santo Domingo, Antonio María Segovia, based on a false interpretation of article 7' of the treaty agreed between Spain and the Dominican Republic on February 18, 1855, which through simple registration in the consulate, allowed all natives of Spain who had resided in the Dominican Republic and adopted Dominican nationality to regain Spanish nationality. Registration in the Segovia registry equally involved older and minor children, who would adopt the nationality of the father and also gave the right to Spanish nationality to all Dominicans who requested to register their name in the Matrícula de nacionales of the Spanish consulate.
This political event took place at a historical juncture in which a virtual struggle between European and North American powers to take control of the Dominican Republic converged, and revealed their intervention in the country's internal affairs. Furthermore, this registration was created in order to make the Dominican Republic lose interest in the negotiations it had with the United States, since Spain was very concerned because the president, Pedro Santana, wanted the help of a power so that the island could advance. Its other purpose was for Buenaventura Báez, the then overthrown president, to return to power through a coup against Santana.[1]
