Obtaining a SIP health card in Spain

To access medical services in Spain and to purchase prescription medicines at a pharmacy, you need an SIP health card. It can be obtained at the Centro de Salud (local health center at your registered address).

Process for obtaining the SIP card in Spain

First, a foreign citizen is assigned a social security number. You can get it by filling out an application form and providing a complete set of documents:

• passport,

• resident card,

• proof of registration at your address in Spain (empadronamiento).

After this, you will receive a social security number and a special document confirming your right to medical care.

You must present your social security number, passport, and residence card at your first visit to the Centro de Salud for your area.

Alegria’s specialists will help you prepare the required documents and will fully accompany the process of obtaining your SIP card in Spain.
