Who it is for

People who, either in their own name or on behalf of another person, wish to file written documents, applications and communications with the National Social Security Institute  for which there is no specific filing service on the Social Security e-Office.

What you can do

• Attach documentation addressed to the National Social Security Institute.

What you need to do it

• Attach the documents that you wish to send.
• If you do not have any of the documents necessary to process your request you can replace them with a responsible declaration using the form found in the attached documentation at the end of this description.
• If you access without a certificate or code and need to report the death of a Social Security benefit recipient, you can send it to us using the statement form pertinent to the death of the benefit recipient found in the accompanying documentation at the end of this description. If you have a certificate, use the service designed for that process: http://run.gob.es/vuelds
  
• If you are acting as a representative, you must attach the standardised representation form, which can be found in the accompanying documents section, or any legally valid document that is proof of the representation.

Please note

If you are logging in with a Username + Password (permanent Cl@ve), in order to guarantee a higher level of security, you will be sent a code via SMS to the mobile number that you provided at the time of registration. You must enter this code in order to sign the communication in the electronic register.

The province where you are filing indicates the Provincial Division of the National Social Security Institute to which you should address your documentation.

Next steps

If you are using the digital certificate or cl@ve service, you will receive an “acknowledgment” in PDF format after the process has been completed. If you do not receive the confirmation message, or if you receive an error or failed sending message, you should resubmit the application at another time or use other channels.

In the case of using the service without a certificate, no receipt will be generated for your request or communication, nor will your request be entered into the Electronic Registry. This communication will reach the Provincial Directorate that you have selected and will be managed there according to the priority established. In this case, we may need to contact you to confirm your identity, verify the data and documentation submitted, or if additional documentation is required.
