Every country has its own collecting body, its own filing calendar and its own way of certifying that a company is up to date. In Spain, these elements form part of the file of every firm listed by the network.
The social security clearance certificate is the document that sums everything up: at a given moment it states whether the company has filed and paid. It is also the one that expires soonest, and the first the network asks its partners to renew. The table of documents below indicates which body issues it in Spain and under which wording to apply for it.
The most discriminating item in Spain is not a qualification but an authorisation: the Sistema RED authorisation issued by the Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social, without which a firm cannot transmit a client's contributions. Then come the Registro Mercantil nota simple, the certificado de situación censal, registration in the intra-Community operators register, tax and social security clearance certificates, and professional liability cover. Proof of registration as a Graduado Social is required where the firm offers representation before the social courts.
