• Visit the [email protected]Information portal.
• Call 060.
• Or leave a message at Inbox.

Information can be obtained in any of the following areas

• Citizenship and residence
• Labour and retirement
• Health and social affairs
• Personal situation and family
• Vehicles and transport

If you have studied in Spain you will also be able to access all your nationally registered qualifications through the site.

Importantly the site contains not only national information but also information held by the Autonomous Communities.

The new site brings together all the information the government and the Autonomous Communities hold on you, making contact with the government a whole lot easier. There is even a very useful FAQ and a chatbot to help direct you.
