It is addressed to the school office or the head, states what the certificate is for and how it is to be delivered. In some Spanish regions the enrolment certificate can be downloaded free from the regional education platform.

Common questions
- Can I download a Spanish school enrolment certificate without asking the school?
- In some regions, yes, and free of charge: in Galicia, for example, families download the enrolment certificate from the ABALAR platform, and in Andalusia the Secretaría Virtual gives access to the enrolment documents. You do not need DocMuse for that. Where your region or school does not offer it, or you need a certificate of marks or of studies, this request asks the school office in writing.
- Which school certificate should I ask a Spanish school for, for a grant or other formality?
- It depends on what the body asks for: to show that the student is enrolled this year, the enrolment certificate; for a grant or a move abroad, often the certificate of marks or of studies completed. State in the request what it is for, so that the school office issues the right one. If the formality is with the education authority itself, ask first whether it already checks the data directly.
- Where do I file the certificate request in Spain, and in which language?
- At the school office, with a copy stamped with the date, or through any public registry office, at a post office as «correo administrativo», or on the regional education department's website. In Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands, Galicia, the Basque Country and Navarre a public school must also accept it in the co-official language, and you may ask for the certificate in Castilian Spanish if you will use it outside the region.

- Parent's note justifying a pupil's absence from school (Spain)
A Spanish note, in Spanish, for a parent or guardian of a pupil in Spain who wants to justify to the class tutor an absence that has happened, or announce one ahead: a family matter, a trip, an unavoidable duty, an errand during school hours. It gives the dates and the reason, asks for the absence to be treated as justified under the school's rules, and asks what work to catch up on. It is not for absences through illness, which are justified as the school says. Hand it over, put it in the pupil's planner or send it through the school's app.

It identifies the person authorising, the child and the authorised person with their DNI or NIE, and sets the days or the period it covers; both the person authorising and the authorised person sign it. Hand it to the school office or the class tutor. Many Spanish schools have their own free form.
