Spain is a country where family values are of great importance both for an individual and for society as a whole. Different categories of families in Spain can count on various benefits and discounts. An important condition for receiving benefits and subsidies is the presence of a document confirming the status of a large family. This status is assigned to families with one or two parents who have three or more children, or to families where one of the children is disabled. Single parents with three or more children can also receive the status of a large family, provided that all children are economically dependent on them.
There are special benefits for orphans and children of disabled parents. The “Título de Familia Numerosa” certificate allows benefits until the age of 21 or, if the family member is a full-time student, until the age of 26. Obtaining this certificate depends on the rules of the region in which the family lives. In some regions, you can apply online, in others you must visit a special institution.
In addition, EU citizens living in Spain can benefit from the benefits, provided that they provide the necessary documents. The family is issued an identification card, which has a certain validity period. Each family member can have their own individual card if they have their own NIE number.
Benefits for large families in Spain are divided into national and regional. National benefits include the possibility of receiving financial assistance at the birth of a child, reduced tax payments, discounts on museums and public transport, as well as on tuition fees at universities and the registration of large vehicles. Regional authorities can also provide benefits to families, including reduced taxes and payment of transport and utilities.
In addition, many private companies and firms also provide benefits for large families. Some supermarkets, toy and clothing stores offer discounts and privileges for such families. However, information about these benefits is not always widely available, so it is recommended to contact companies or organizations that unite large families directly for information.
It is also recommended to apply for a youth card for all family members up to 31 years of age. This card allows you to save on various services both in Spain and abroad.
