Residence permits in Spain for EU citizens and their family members

Citizens of EU member states, EEA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) and Switzerland enjoy the right to free movement and residence in Spain. If you plan to stay in the country for more than 90 days, you must register and obtain a Certificate of Registration as an EU Citizen (Certificado de Registro de Ciudadano de la Unión).

It is important to understand that this is not a residence permit in the traditional sense, but rather confirmation of your right to reside in the country. For members of your family who do not have EU citizenship, there is a separate procedure for obtaining a residence card.
Who is this for?
Citizens of any of the 27 EU countries, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, who plan to live in Spain for more than 90 days.

Required documents (basic list)
