What this document is
J-6 (“Solicitud de pensión de jubilación”) is the official form of Spain’s National Social Security Institute (INSS) to claim the contributory retirement pension. It is also where you choose early or delayed retirement and combining the pension with work (active or flexible retirement).
If you have worked in other countries, the first page warns that another form is needed — the EU Regulations form (EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) or J-6 CB under bilateral agreements.
Who can apply
- anyone insured with Social Security who has reached pension age: in 2026, 66 years and 10 months, or 65 with at least 38 years and 3 months of contributions;
- the minimum is 15 years of contributions, 2 of them within the last 15 years;
- early — with a long contribution record (voluntary) or after involuntary dismissal;
- filing — online at the Social Security electronic office, by post or at an INSS centre (CAISS) by appointment.
What you will need
- NIE/DNI or passport, Social Security number, address;
- the date you want the pension from and your current situation (working, on benefit, special agreement);
- your children’s details — for childcare credits and the gender-gap supplement;
- this year’s income, details of your spouse and relatives living with you — for tax and minimum top-ups;
- a Spanish bank account (IBAN) in the applicant’s name.
How the form is laid out
Fourteen pages: personal details and representatives, employment situation and type of pension, working while retired, children, income, spouse and relatives, tax, notification address, bank, consents and signature; then the addendum — the employer’s consent for active retirement — and instructions.
