01Eligible relatives
- Husband, wife, or partner in a registered partnership
- Sons and daughters below 21, or above it when they depend on you
- Parents who depend on the couple
- Sometimes other relatives, or an unregistered partner in a lasting relationship
02Three things to prove
Your identity, the family tie, and the EU citizen's residence on the terms of their registration. Concretely: your passport; a marriage, partnership or birth certificate, legalised and translated where required; the EU citizen's green certificate; and evidence of their job, studies or means.
03Running order
- EU citizen registers first and holds the green certificate
- Family documents gathered, legalised and translated as needed
- EX-19 completed, fee slip paid
- Appointment attended, both of you if the office asks
- Fingerprints taken, card collected
04Typical blocker
Foreign certificates. A marriage or birth record may need an apostille or a legalisation plus a sworn Spanish translation, and both are arranged in your home country. Start on them as soon as the move is decided.

Its page says the NIE, the TIE, the EU registration certificate, residence certificates and invitation letters are done at the police Brigada Provincial de Extranjería y Fronteras and the Unidad de Documentación de Extranjeros, whose address it does not give. It also lists the EU registration certificate among its own procedures: your appointment confirmation names the office.
Questions
Yes, both as an employee and as a self-employed person.
Since Brexit UK citizens count as non-EU, so the family route can apply. Already resident under the Withdrawal Agreement? Then you hold a TIE on that basis.
A registered partnership works too, and a durable relationship can qualify with proof.
