2.2 Delivery Times
Delivery times for certificates are indicative and can never be guaranteed due to the issuance times of certificates and the signing by the Civil Registry / Peace Court official depending on changes in the functioning of these entities, as well as temporary request surges, technical issues, and/or other factors outside registrocentral.es’s control.
The times are therefore not binding, and the cancellation process for delays is governed by the third point of these management conditions. The applicant agrees that www.registrocentral.es is not responsible for delays in obtaining certificates from the relevant Civil Registries or Peace Courts.
The applicant agrees that www.registrocentral.es is not responsible for delays or loss of documentation during shipping, with legal and administrative responsibility ending once the certificates have been sent, and the service considered completed once the documents have been dispatched.
The applicant agrees that delays or loss of documentation during shipping are the responsibility of the document shipping company, and the applicant may claim directly to the transport company with the personalised tracking number in the event of a certified shipment. If the applicant chose standard, non-tracked delivery, they will not have a tracking number for claims.
2.3 Purposes of Certificates
The purpose of the certificate may be requested by the relevant Civil Registry for the correct issuance of your certificate; therefore, if this purpose was not specified, the client will be asked to clarify it.
Birth certificates issued for the initial application for the DNI (National Identity Document) or passport require special handling, and it is MANDATORY to specify this purpose. In this case, only one copy can be requested, issued solely for the purpose of the first DNI or PASSPORT, without the possibility of an additional copy. In case of loss or misplacement of this copy, a report of theft or loss is required to obtain a new copy from the Civil Registry or competent court.
2.4 Lack of data, inability to issue, incorrect data, or certificates of restricted publicity
If, due to an error or the applicant's lack of knowledge, the request is submitted with incorrect data, and as a result, the civil registry, justice of the peace, town hall, etc., indicates that with the data provided the record to be certified cannot be found, we will contact the applicant via email or phone (using the contact details in the application) to request them to correct this information at no additional cost.
The applicant has 20 calendar days to respond to this communication and provide the correct or missing information. The application can be processed in up to three different civil registries if the applicant is unsure of the location of the event, with this triple management included in the initial application fee.
After these 20 calendar days, if the applicant does not respond, or if the event is not found in any of the three additional localities indicated by the applicant, the application file will be closed, the certificate management service will be considered completed, and there will be no possibility of a refund under the right of withdrawal as the process will be deemed finalised.
Certificates for obtaining a DNI can only be requested once. If our services are hired to manage this certificate and the authorities inform us that it cannot be issued because it has already been issued previously, the client forfeits the right to request a refund, as the process is considered complete due to the client's responsibility in being unable to obtain a second copy.
2.5 Certificates of restricted publicity / protected data
If the certificate management reaches its final stage, but the requested certificate cannot be sent by post due to being a certificate of RESTRICTED PUBLICITY, the process will be considered complete as we will have completed all viable steps, and there will be no possibility of cancelling the service, as the applicant is responsible for knowing that the certificate contained DATA SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROTECTION (CHAPTER TWO of Law 20/2011, of the Civil Registry).
This protected certificate may be sent to the Civil Registry nearest to the applicant's address but can only be collected by the registered person or their legal representatives. If the registered person has passed away, authorisation to access the specially protected data may only be granted by the Judge of the Court of First Instance of the applicant's residence, provided that a legitimate interest and founded reason for the request are demonstrated.
We remind that under articles 83 and 84 of Law 20/2011, of the Civil Registry, protected and restricted publicity certificates include, among others: those that contain information on adoptive and unknown parentage, sex rectification, causes of deprivation or suspension of parental authority, secret marriage, abortion records, surname changes authorised due to being a victim of gender violence or their descendants, as well as other legally authorised identity changes.
3. Cancellations and refunds
Cancellations and refunds of the contracted services are governed by Spanish Law 3/2014, of 27 March, which amends the revised text of the General Law for the Protection of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of 16 November. Based on this law and article 97, the applicant is informed of the rights and obligations of the current contract.
When the service payment is made, the applicant confirms their desire for the process to begin immediately, explicitly accepting that the process will start during the withdrawal period stipulated in article 104.
According to article 103 of this Law, the applicant loses the right of withdrawal once the service has been fully executed by registrocentral.es.
The process is considered fully completed, and thus no right to withdrawal and refund exists once the documents have been sent, as this constitutes full completion of the service by the manager registrocentral.es, regardless of whether the applicant accepts the receipt of the documents upon arrival at their address, or whether there is a delay/loss caused by the transport company.
According to article 108.3 of the same Law, when all steps for obtaining the certificate have not been completed and it has not yet been sent, the applicant may exercise the right of withdrawal, with registrocentral.es charging for the initial phase already completed, which includes file creation, request registration, professional manager assignment, and the start of management, with a total cost of €9.13 (VAT included) per application.
If additional services such as 'priority management' in the Central Civil Registry have been contracted, these costs cannot be refunded if this service has already been provided by our managers. In the case of restricted publicity certificates, point 2.5 of these management conditions will apply.
The remainder of the amount paid in the application, comprising the total amount paid less €9.13 and the 'priority management' service, will be refunded to the applicant by the same payment method used when contracting the service, with the refund period set at 15 days by registrocentral.es.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, an explicit request via email is mandatory. The maximum period for requesting a refund is 18 months from the date of the contract.
