If the body publishes its own free declaration model, use that one; you do not need DocMuse. The padrón certificate showing everyone at the address is issued by your town hall. This Spanish document, in Spanish, is for anyone who must state to a Spanish public body, school or social service who lives with them and, where relevant, who depends on them financially: it names the people, the date since when they have lived together and the undertaking of art. 69 of Spanish Law 39/2015. It is handed in with the application.

Common questions
- Does a responsible declaration of household replace the padrón certificate in Spain?
- Only if the body accepts it. Living together is shown by the padrón note or certificate listing everyone at the address, issued by the town hall; many calls for grants, school meals or benefits also ask, or instead ask, for a responsible declaration on the members of the household, often on their own model. Read the rules of the procedure and, if they have a model, use it.
- What happens if a Spanish responsible declaration contains false information?
- An inaccuracy, falsehood or omission on an essential point stops you continuing to exercise the right or receive the benefit from the moment the administration learns of it, without prejudice to any criminal, civil or administrative liability (art. 69.4 of Spanish Law 39/2015). The administration may ask you at any time for the documents proving what you declared (art. 69.1): keep them to hand.
- Who signs the household declaration, and where is it handed in?
- The declarant signs and, if the body asks, the other adults living at the address too, in the space provided. It is handed in with the application, on the electronic office, at the body's registry, at any registry office, or at a Spanish post office as administrative mail with the envelope open (art. 16.4 of Spanish Law 39/2015). A regional or local body in a region with a co-official language must also accept it in that language.
