EX-31 — Arraigo · international protection applicants (DA 20). Application under the twentieth additional provision of the Regulation: residence for exceptional circumstances on grounds of arraigo for applicants for international protection.
In Aproba you choose it from the file's form selector: it is not tied to any service of the default catalogue, so you generate it for whatever procedure you have set up in Ajustes (Settings). The details come from the client's record all the same.
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.
- The parent or guardian block, when the applicant is a minor: it is the «representante legal» box that the form itself keeps for them.
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).

Frequently asked questions
Does the EX-31 come out filled in, or do you have to type it?
It comes out filled in with the details the AI read from the client's documents and with your firm's. It is editable: any field can be corrected before printing.
Why doesn't it appear in my file by itself?
Because it is not linked to any service of the default catalogue. You choose it in the file's form selector and, if your firm uses it often, you create the matching service in Ajustes (Settings).
