The service of Via Oberta which offers the consultation of legal residence data of foreigners changes issuer and it is necessary to request new authorizations

The legal residence data of a foreigner have ceased to be intermediated with the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Public Function, being the General Directorate of Police in charge of offering them  details of legal residence in Spain of a foreign citizen.

Consequently, the AOC Consortium has incorporated into the catalog of interoperable data and documents, the new legal residence service for foreigners, provided through the State's Intermediation Platform.

Authorizations

To be able to use this service, the General Directorate of Police requires authorizations to be requested for the new modalities available through the form of Via Oberta available at EACAT.

The services of the General Directorate of Police currently available and which make it possible to know whether a person has legal residence in national territory are the following:

  • Consultation of legal residence data for documentation.
  • Consultation of legal residence data by affiliation.

That is why it is essential to apply for registration at the new Legal Residence for Foreigners service made available by the General Directorate of Police.

This change of issuer implies the willingness on the part of the Intermediation Platform of the State of discontinue the legal residence service offered by the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Public Service next October 31 of this year, given that the data is already available through the General Directorate of Police.

However, having detected that the new DGP service is not returning the same data offered by the service that is to be discontinued, the State Intermediation Platform has been requested to extend the unavailability of the service legal residence offered by the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Civil Service, until the DGP service incorporates the same data that is being consumed.

We will keep you informed through this channel if the State Mediation Platform attends to our request.

You will find the details of this service at Letter of Services
