How we verify
Most English-language guides to Spanish paperwork are copies of each other, and the copying is old. A fee changes, a form is renumbered, an office moves — and the same wrong sentence stays online for years because nobody who published it ever had to go through the procedure. These are the rules we hold ourselves to instead.
Official sources only
A claim on this site has to come from the body responsible for the procedure: the ministry, the National Police, the Government Delegation, the Tax Agency, the town hall, or the official gazette that published the rule. We do not cite other guides, law firm blogs or relocation agencies, even when they are right, because a copy gives us no way to notice when the original changes.
Every fact is dated
Each figure, form code and requirement carries the date a person last confirmed it against its source. The date is shown on the page, not buried in a changelog, so you can judge for yourself whether it is fresh enough to rely on. If a page looks old to you, it is old to us too.
If it is not verified, it is not published
We publish a province only after its specific detail has been researched. A province we have not done yet has no page at all, rather than a page that repeats the national guide with a place name substituted in. That is why parts of this site are empty and will fill in slowly.
What we cannot tell you
We can tell you what a procedure requires. We cannot tell you what your case requires — that depends on your nationality, your current status and your history with the administration, and it is a question for the authority or a qualified professional. Spain Paperwork is not a law firm and does not give legal, tax or immigration advice.
Tell us when we are wrong
If a page here does not match what an office told you, that is worth knowing and we want to hear it. Write to impulsolocaldigitall@gmail.com with the page and what differed. Corrections get a new verification date so the change is visible.
