Steps involved in joining

Firstly, you need to request the SILCON Certificate. To get a certificate:

    • citizens must prove their identity in person using their DNI at the digital certificate offices.
    • After receiving the information needed and getting a SILCON Certificate, the interested parties must present, either in person or by Fax, the application for authorisation and the following documentation, as appropriate:

a) Company (the person requesting the authorisation must belong to the company whose documentation will be sent through the system).

  • In this case, the authorisation application must be accompanied by:

    • Form TA101/1 and TA101/2 (which can be downloaded from the website).
    • Photocopy of the DNI (ID card) of the person to be authorised.
  • Aside from the aforementioned documentation, the following documents can also be sent in with the authorisation application:
    • Application for a Secondary User: The following documentation must be submitted:

      • Form TA102 (which can be downloaded from the website), for those cases where, in addition to the main authorised user (the holder of the authorisation), secondary users are requested. For each secondary user requested, a photocopy of their DNI must be attached.
    • Application for assignment of CACs/NAF to the authorisation: The following documentation must be submitted, depending on whether the RED authorised person and the NAF or CACs to be assigned have the same or a different NIF:

      • Form FR104: For those cases where the RED authorised person and the CACs and/or NAF to be assigned or cancelled have the same NIF. In these cases, a power of attorney does not need to be granted to the authorised person in order to act on behalf of the CAC or NAF, as their identity matches. This form only needs to be signed by the holder of the authorisation. The holder will not be asked to prove that they represent the authorised company, as they have already proved this in the authorisation application.

      • Form FR103: For those cases in which the RED authorised person and the NAF to be assigned have a different NIF. In these cases, the authorised person does not require a power of attorney to act on behalf of the affiliated person. It must always be signed by the authorisation holder, the affiliated person and their representative.
    Once the CACs have been assigned, it is also important to attach the three Contribution Account Codes that you want to authorise to make practice affiliations.

    The application procedures for the Secondary User Application and the Application for the Assignment of a CAC/NAF to an authorisation, cannot be done through Electronic Registration, individually, or in conjunction with the authorisation application.

    There is also the possibility of requesting super-authorisations and authorisations for groups of companies.. These are:

      • Super-authorisation. A company or group of dependent companies can request a super-authorisation. This consists of various authorisations organised on two levels: the higher level has access to the management of the Contribution Account Codes (CCC) of the others, while the lower level does not have access to managing the CCCs of equal or higher levels in the hierarchy.

        To request authorisation, the documentation to be submitted is the same as in section a), along with a document requesting that the authorisations are hierarchically secondary to the main user.

      • Groups of companies. Groups of companies can present an application for a single authorisation if they can prove the existence of a common link between them. In all cases, the documents to be presented are the same as listed above, as well as the document that proves the existence of the link.

  • Aside from the aforementioned documentation, the following documents can also be sent in with the authorisation application:
    • Application for a Secondary User: The following documentation must be submitted:
      • Form TA102 (which can be downloaded from the website), for those cases where, in addition to the main authorised user (the holder of the authorisation), secondary users are requested. For each secondary user requested, a photocopy of their DNI must be attached.
    • Application for assignment of CACs/NAF to the authorisation: The following documentation must be submitted, depending on whether the RED authorised person and the NAF or CACs to be assigned have the same or a different NIF:
      • Form FR104: For those cases where the RED authorised person and the CACs and/or NAF to be assigned or cancelled have the same NIF. In these cases, a power of attorney does not need to be granted to the authorised person in order to act on behalf of the CAC or NAF, as it matches the identity of both parties.  This form only needs to be signed by the holder of the authorisation. The holder will not be asked to prove that they represent the authorised company, as they have already proved this in the authorisation application.

      • Form FR103: For those cases in which the RED authorised person and the NAF to be assigned have a different NIF. In these cases, the authorised person does not require a power of attorney to act on behalf of the affiliated person. It must always be signed by the authorisation holder, the affiliated person and their representative.

      • Form FR10: Authorisation to act on behalf of a Contribution Account Code in the RED System and with Telematic Notifications. This form is used when RED authorised persons and the CAC(s) to be assigned have a different NIF.
    The application procedures for the Secondary User Application and the Application for the Assignment of a CAC/NAF to an authorisation, cannot be done through Electronic Registration, individually, or in conjunction with the authorisation application.

b) Licensed Professional.

In these cases, a power of attorney does not need to be granted to the authorised person in order to act on behalf of the CAC or NAF, as it matches the identity of both parties.  This form only needs to be signed by the holder of the authorisation.

    All files sent in for medical discharge and sick leave certificates for temporary disability will be real and will have an effect on the TGSS database.
