homeland


Explanation:
homeland, fatherland, mother-country, native land, all mean the same. Take your pick. I would use homeland, or land of birth.

hometown


Explanation:
I've been thinking it over, and as it refers to Barcelona, hometown would be better than homeland.

However, in a birth certificate I would expect them to be referring to "nationality", which seems to be of great interest to all bureaucrats.
