Practical guide for completing census form 036

Legal person

Legal entities are entities established in accordance with the requirements established in each case by the regulations. These entities do not have the possibility of exercising rights and assuming obligations until they acquire legal personality. When we are dealing with a legal entity, we must specify the legal form that it assumes.

When requesting a provisional NIF for those entities that do not yet have legal personality, that is, those that are in the process of being established because, for example, they have not yet been registered, not box 68 or 69 will be checked, but rather boxes 78 and 79 will be filled in.

If at the time of filing this declaration you already have legal personality and are of Spanish nationality, you must check box 68 and indicate the legal form in box 69.
