{{Further|Christians|Catholic (term)}}
The official name of the Palmarian Church in the register of religious entities in the [[Kingdom of Spain]] is the ''Iglesia Cristiana Palmariana de los Carmelitas de la Santa Faz'' ([[English language|English]]: ''Palmarian Christian Church of the Carmelites of the Holy Face''). This is due to a legal process which began in 1980, when the church applied to the [[Ministry of Justice (Spain)|Spanish Ministry of Justice]] for the status of a [[Religion in Spain|recognised religion]] under the name ''Iglesia Católica, Apostólica y Palmariana, Orden Religiosa de los Carmelitas de la Santa Faz en Compañía de Jesús y María'' (English: ''Catholic, Apostolic and Palmarian Church, Religious Order of the Carmelites of the Holy Face in Company of Jesus and Mary'').{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=114}} This was initially rejected in 1982 by the Director-General of Religious Affairs who said that the terms "[[Catholic (term)|Catholic]]", [[pope]]" and "[[Cardinal (Catholic Church)|cardinal]]" as used by the Palmarians bore "excessive resemblance" to those still used by the Roman Catholic Church; in addition, the Palmarians simply claimed that they were the [[Catholic Church]].{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=114}} A few months later, they made a fresh application using the current official name with "Christian" instead of Catholic, while continuing to use terms such as the ''Holy Catholic Palmarian Church'', the ''One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Palmarian Church'', the ''Palmarian Catholic Church'' and other variations in internal documents. The director-general again rejected the registration due to the changes only being "semantic", but the Palmarians finally pushed through their registration through the [[Supreme Court of Spain]] in 1987 using the current official name.{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=115}}
