Services contract with a self-employed professional (Spain)
For a business or professional engaging a self-employed person in Spain (design, programming, translation, training, consulting): a Spanish civil contract with the scope, the professional's independence over hours, place and means, the fee in words and figures, invoicing and the payment term under Spain's Law 3/2004, confidentiality, a statement that the professional is not economically dependent on the client (TRADE) and the attempt to negotiate before court (Organic Law 1/2025). In Spanish.
Reply to a debt collector: proof of the debt or limitation (Spain)
For someone in Spain receiving letters, calls or messages from a debt collector or a debt buyer about a debt they do not recognise or that is very old. The letter does not acknowledge the debt: it asks for the contract, the calculation of the amount and proof of the assignment or mandate, and lets you plead limitation where more than five years have passed without a claim or an acknowledgement (articles 1964.2 and 1973 of the Spanish Civil Code). It also asks where your data came from (article 15 GDPR). It is sent by burofax with certified content. In Spanish.
Complaint to the Spanish Ombudsman or a regional ombudsman (Spain)
This can be done free of charge with the form on the Spanish Ombudsman's website (defensordelpueblo.es) and with those of the regional ombudsmen, such as the Síndic de Greuges or the Ararteko; you do not need DocMuse for it. This Spanish document, in Spanish, is the signed complaint against how a public body acted: it names you, the body, the facts, what you have already done and what you ask for. It is made within one year of learning the facts (art. 15 of Spanish Organic Law 3/1981), by post, in person or through a registry.
Acknowledgement of debt with a payment plan (Spain)
For someone in Spain who owes money and agrees with the creditor to pay it in instalments. The debtor acknowledges the amount in words and figures and where it comes from; both parties set the number of monthly instalments, their amount, the first date and the payment day, and how many missed instalments let the creditor claim the whole balance. The acknowledgement interrupts limitation (article 1973 of the Spanish Civil Code). The debtor signs, and so does the creditor, who accepts the plan; each keeps a copy. In Spanish.
Complaint to the electricity, gas or water company (Spain)
For the holder of an electricity, gas or water contract in Spain who disputes a bill, a meter reading, a disconnection, a price rise or the service received. The letter files the complaint in writing with the company's customer service, asks for its reference number and a written answer, and makes the attempt to negotiate that Spanish Organic Law 1/2025 requires before suing. Send it by burofax with certified content; you can also send it through the company's complaints channel. In Spanish.
Formal demand to a company with an invitation to negotiate (Spain)
For a consumer in Spain whose contract a company is not honouring (a service badly done, a wrongful charge, a refund that never comes) and who wants to demand it before going to court. The letter describes the breach, requires the company to perform and, in the same letter, invites it to negotiate for thirty days: the prior attempt to negotiate that Spanish Organic Law 1/2025 has required since 3 April 2025 before a claim can be filed. Send it by burofax with certified content, which proves what was sent and when. In Spanish.
Responsible declaration of household and financial dependants (Spain)
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.
Request to cancel a gym membership or subscription (Spain)
For a member of a gym or subscriber to a service in Spain (a platform, club, magazine or monthly box) who wants to cancel and stop being charged. The letter gives notice on the date you choose, recalls that the company must allow cancellation by the same means used to sign up and without obstacles or disproportionate charges (art. 62.3 of the Spanish Consumer Protection Act, TRLGDCU), and asks for confirmation and for no further direct debits. Send it by burofax with certified content, which proves the date. In Spanish.
Objection and appeal against a traffic fine (Spain)
This step is free on the online office of Spain's traffic authority (DGT); you do not need DocMuse for it. For anyone who has received a traffic fine in Spain from the DGT, a town hall, Catalonia's traffic service or the Basque Government and disagrees: objections (alegaciones) to the fine notice within 20 calendar days, or an appeal for reconsideration against the penalty within one month (arts. 95 and 96 of the Spanish Traffic Act). Paying with the 50 % discount within those 20 days closes the case and gives up the objection. Filed with the body that fined you, online, at a registry or a post office; companies must file online. In Spanish.

Authorisation to collect a document, parcel or certificate (Spain)
For someone who cannot collect a parcel, registered letter, document or certificate in person and asks another person to do it. Correos, courier companies and many Spanish bodies have their own free authorisation form: if they ask for it, use theirs.

Claim for unpaid wages and overtime (Spain)
For an employee in Spain whose employer has not paid wages, extra payments or overtime. The letter itemises what is owed by month and type, demands payment by a set date with the ten per cent late-payment interest of art. 29.3 of the Spanish Workers' Statute, interrupts the one-year time limit to claim and announces the request for conciliation (papeleta). It is sent by burofax with certified content. In Spanish.
Cohabitation agreement for an unmarried couple (Spain)
For couples who live together without being married and want to set out in writing how they share household costs, who owns what and what happens if they separate. The agreement names their autonomous community and refers to its rules on registered couples; in Aragón, the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Galicia, Navarre and the Basque Country their own regional civil law also applies, according to each partner’s civil residence (vecindad civil). It does not register the couple: registration uses the regional registry’s own form, free to download online. Both sign two copies. In Spanish.

Signed in two copies before work starts. In Spanish.
Employee confidentiality agreement (Spain)
For an employer in Spain that wants to set down in writing what information an employee must keep secret, during the contract and afterwards. It defines confidential information, what is excluded, permitted use, the return of documents and equipment at the end and the period after termination, in line with the duty of good faith in the Spanish Workers' Statute and Spanish Law 1/2019 on Trade Secrets. It is not a non-compete clause: it does not stop the employee working for another business later. Both sides sign it. In Spanish.
Statement naming the driver of a fined vehicle (Spain)
This step is free on the online office of Spain's traffic authority (DGT) and of many town halls; you do not need DocMuse for it. For the registered keeper of a vehicle who receives a fine for something another person did and a request to name the driver: the statement with the driver's details and licence, within 20 calendar days (art. 11.1.a of the Spanish Traffic Act). Not naming the driver is a very serious offence. Filed with the body that asks, at a registry office or a post office; companies file online. In Spanish.
Advance healthcare directive (Spain)
For anyone who wants to set down their values and decisions about the treatments they accept or refuse, in case they cannot express them one day, and to name a representative to the healthcare team. Each Spanish autonomous community regulates this document and has its own registry and often a free model: if there is one, you may use it. It is sold blank and filled in by hand, because it holds health data. It is formalised before a notary, witnesses or the registry, as your community allows, and entered in the regional registry. In Spanish.
Certificate of resolutions of a general meeting or board of directors (Spain)
For the director or board secretary of a Spanish limited or public company who must prove resolutions already passed to a bank, a notary, the Registro Mercantil or a customer: a Spanish certificate copying the resolutions from the approved minutes, signed by the person entitled to certify (art. 109 of the Spanish Commercial Registry Regulation) and, where needed, approved by a second signature. To enter a resolution in the Registro Mercantil, it is as a rule put into a public deed before a notary; some, such as the appointment of directors, are entered on this certificate with the signatures certified by a notary. In Spanish.
Minutes of an S.L. general meeting removing and appointing a director (Spain)
For the members of a Spanish limited company changing its director: Spanish minutes of the general meeting (all members present, or called by notice) recording any removal and the appointment, a certificate of the minutes by the person entitled to certify, and the acceptance of the post signed by the new director.

Inventory and handover record for a rented flat (Spain)
For the landlord and the tenant of a home in Spain at the start of a lease: the record both sign on the day the keys are handed over, with the meter readings, the keys handed over, the state of each room, the inventory of furniture and appliances, the documents handed over, outstanding repairs and the number of photos attached. It records the state in which the tenant receives the home (articles 1561 and 1562 of the Spanish Civil Code). Signed in two copies, in person, and attached to the lease. In Spanish.
