Living in Spain

What is EU residency registration?

Eligible citizens of EU member states, the European Economic Area and Switzerland who intend to reside in Spain for more than three months are generally required to register their residence.

Successful registration results in a Certificate of Registration as a Citizen of the European Union , which confirms registration in Spain's Central Register of Foreigners.

The certificate contains important information including your name, nationality, address and NIE number.

Into Spain helps make the route clearer by establishing what applies to your circumstances, helping organise the supporting information and preparing you for the registration process.

Your circumstances

How your position may be demonstrated

The supporting evidence required depends on why and how you are establishing your life in Spain.

Employed

If you are employed in Spain, employment documentation may form part of the evidence used for your registration.

Self-employed

Self-employed residents may need to demonstrate their professional or business status as part of the process.

Self-sufficient

People supporting themselves without employment may need to demonstrate sufficient resources and suitable healthcare cover.

Students

Students may need evidence of enrolment, healthcare cover and sufficient resources for their stay in Spain.

How Into Spain helps

A clearer route to becoming registered in Spain

We help you understand the process before you reach the appointment stage, reducing uncertainty and helping make sure the relevant information is organised.

01

Review your circumstances

We establish your nationality, circumstances and intended residence in Spain so we can understand which supporting route applies.

02

Explain what you need

We help identify the relevant documents and evidence according to your circumstances.

03

Prepare the documentation

Into Spain helps organise the required information so the process remains structured and easier to follow.

04

Prepare you for registration

We explain the practical next stage so you know what to expect when completing your residency registration.

Preparing your application

The right evidence for your circumstances

There is no single identical document list for every applicant. Your position as an employee, self-employed person, student or self-sufficient resident affects the evidence that may be required.

Into Spain will help establish the relevant checklist for your circumstances rather than leaving you to work through the process alone.

  • Valid passport or national identity document
  • Evidence relevant to your employment or self-employed status where applicable
  • Evidence of financial resources where applicable
  • Healthcare evidence where required by your circumstances
  • Other supporting information relevant to your specific registration
