Who it is for

People who, either in their own name or on behalf of another person, wish to file written documents, applications and notices with the National Social Security Institute  for which there is no specific filing service on the Social Security e-Office.
Please remember that there is a specific service for Minimum Vital Income applications. MVI applications will not be accepted through this service.

Applications may only be made on behalf of another person from persons who are not obliged to use electronic means. If you are a professional, or are otherwise obliged to use electronic means, acting on behalf of an interested party you must use the e-Office service for the procedure you wish to complete by accessing with your electronic certificate or cl@ve.

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 application, you can replace it with an affidavit.
• 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

Minimum Vital Income applications will not be accepted through this service. An exclusive service is available for these applications: Minimum Vital Income Application. You can apply with a digital certificate or cl@ve username + password, or without a certificate.

Applications may only be made on behalf of another person from persons who are not obliged to use electronic means. If you are a professional, or are otherwise obliged to use electronic means, acting on behalf of an interested party, you must use the corresponding e-Office service for the procedure you wish to complete by accessing with your electronic certificate or user + cl@ve.

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.

Your connection has a time limit. Therefore, if your session times out while filling in the application form you have to restart the session and complete the items pending.
