Online verifiedInforme Social
Procedure for Valencia
Who needs it
People whose case requires a broader social assessment than a short certificate, often requested by Servicios Sociales, courts, ExtranjerÃa, or social programs when family, housing, income, and administrative context must be documented together.
When needed
When an institution explicitly asks for an informe social prepared by a social worker, not when a different document (e.g., Certificado / Informe de Situación de Vulnerabilidad) is what they named.
Where to get it
Servicios Sociales of the municipality (Ayuntamiento) or the social services unit handling the case, after orientation on whether this is the correct document.
Timeline
