Form EX-26: Change of permit

EX-26 — Change of permit. Application for a change of situation: changing the type of residence or work permit without leaving Spain.

In Aproba it comes out of the file: when the procedure is change of permit, the EX-26 appears among the forms to generate with the client's already validated details.

What Aproba fills in on this form

• The foreign national's details, read from their validated documents: full name, document, date and place of birth, nationality, address and phone.
• The place and date line on page 2: it is not filled in by itself, but it comes as fields to type in the PDF itself, where many firms used to end up writing by hand.
• The block of the firm that submits it («datos del representante a efectos de presentación de la solicitud»), with your firm's details and those of the person who signs.

What Aproba leaves blank on purpose

Two boxes are not filled in by themselves, and it is a decision, not an oversight. «Representante legal, en su caso» in section 1 is for the legal representative of the foreign national — the father, the mother or the guardian of a minor —, not for the firm: putting yourself there is a common mistake. And «Domicilio a efectos de notificaciones» (address for notifications) decides who receives the file's notifications, with the deadlines that come with them: you decide that one, case by case. It is explained in Representative on the EX form: who goes in each box (in Spanish).
