What this document is
Form 6-071 (“Solicitud de reconocimiento del derecho a la asistencia sanitaria”) is the official form of Spain’s National Social Security Institute (INSS). It is used to have the right to public health care recognised for people who do not get it automatically, and to add family members (beneficiarios) to an existing entitlement.
Employees, the self-employed, pensioners, recipients of periodic Social Security benefits and unemployed people who have used up their benefit get the right automatically and do not need this form.
Who files and where
- case A — a resident of Spain who does not work, receive a pension or benefit, and has no cover by another route (MUFACE, MUGEJU, ISFAS, the right to “export” cover from the home country);
- case B — an existing holder (titular) adding a spouse or registered partner, children, grandchildren, siblings under 26 (older with a disability of 65 % or more), and children in guardianship or foster care;
- case C — a public body acting as guardian of a minor;
- if your spouse or partner already holds the right, he or she files and adds you as a beneficiary;
- filing: online at the Social Security e-office, or a signed copy by post or at an INSS centre (CAISS) by appointment.
What the form asks
- section I — applicant: surnames, name, date of birth, sex, marital status, DNI/NIE/passport, Social Security number, nationality, address, phones, e-mail;
- section II — whether you have cover by another route and whether your spouse or partner is already a holder;
- section III — up to four beneficiaries: details, relationship, income, other cover, other parent’s name and ID for children;
- section IV — minor under administrative guardianship; section V — statements; consent to messages, place and date of signing, INSS province.
What to take with you
- identity documents of the applicant and beneficiaries (DNI from age 14; foreigners — TIE, passport or national ID);
- foreigners — proof of legal residence in Spain;
- citizens of the EU, EEA, Switzerland, the UK, Andorra, Chile, Morocco and Tunisia — a certificate from their home institution that the health-care right is not exported to Spain;
- for beneficiaries — proof of relationship (libro de familia, marriage or birth certificate, registered-partnership certificate) and, for disability, the disability certificate;
- proof of representation if a representative files.
