If you have trouble using your green EU residence certificate, read the Spanish government’s informative note on documentation for UK nationals. This is still a valid document and proves your rights under the Withdrawal Agreement. If you registered as a resident before 6 July 2020, you will have a green A4 certificate or credit card-sized piece of paper from Extranjeria or the police. This card will prove your rights under the Withdrawal Agreement. If you are registering for the first time, you will be issued with a biometric residence card called a Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE). Children must also be registered with their own residency document. You must ensure you are correctly registered as a resident. If you were legally resident in Spain before 1 January 2021, you will be able to stay.
