Hi All…
New to the forum and wondering if you can advise.

I?ve been living in Spain for around a year now along with my wife and 13yr old daughter.

My wife and I are working. We have NIE and residencia and also we both have social security numbers.

I want to register all three of us with the Spanish health care system. What do I need to do / where do I need to go to arrange this?

Note… My daugther (13) doesn?t have an NIE. Does she need one?

Thanks for any advice.

brianscottesp,
well go to the nearest centro de salud and apply for the tarjeta sanitaria.
go with your certificado de empadronamiento, tarjeta de residencia and and sss number.
does your daughtere have a residence card?

brianscottesp,
how did your daughter enter spain? what kind of visa? what is her nationality?
how did your residence and work permit? what is your nationality?

We?re all British… so part of the EU. Working is protected under that.

brianscottesp,
there are no residence cards for eu citizens in spain just a piece of paper called certificado de registro, so get her registered and then include her in the padron and go to the nearest centro de salud to apply for the tarjeta sanitaria you and your wife. since your child is a minor she will be included in either of your card as beneficiary until she starts working ang gets her own sss num.
