Not being up to date with Social Security and Treasury payments can be a very serious problem that can end up affecting both our retirement and the possibility of requesting some official aid, unemployment or any other type of subsidy, therefore, It never hurts to make sure that we are up to date with our payments.
Until the arrival of digital certificates, the only way to find out if we were up to date with both Social Security and the Treasury was to visit one of the different centers available throughout Spain.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, there were already many users who used the electronic certificate to carry out operations electronically without going to these offices. With the arrival of the coronavirus, the use of certificates increased substantially and currently, very few users still do not have theirs.
Thanks to these certificates, we can carry out any type of telematic management without leaving home, without queuing and in just a few seconds. In this article, we are going to show you all the available methods to know if we are up to date with Social Security. If this is not the case, we can manage the payment of the pending amount, appeal or carry out any other management, all without the need to access a public administration.
How to obtain a certificate of being up to date with Social Security
The first thing we must do, regardless of whether we have a digital certificate on our computer or not, is to visit the website of the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, where we must click on Reports and Certificates. We can access this section directly through the following link.
by postal mail
If we do not have an electronic certificate, we can find out if we have any debt with Social Security through ordinary mail. To use this method, we just have to click on Report of being up to date with Social Security obligations by mail and then click on Request, where we must enter our data, data that must coincide with the data that this body has registered about us.
Telematics
If we do not want to wait for the postman to arrive at our house with the letter from Social Security, we can use the electronic route to obtain a certificate of our situation in Social Security.
To obtain this information electronically, on the same web page where we can obtain this certificate by post, click on Certificate of being up to date with Social Security obligations and then click on Get Access, after selecting In your own name in the dropdown box that is displayed just below this button.
Next, we must select the method that we want to use to identify ourselves in Social Security from our computer. The options that we have available are the same as those for making any other query via telematics, both at Social Security and at the Treasury: Cl@ve Permanente, Cl@ve PIN, Via SMS and DNIe or certificate.
Once we have accessed the platform, the certificate will automatically be shown if we are up to date or a document showing the amount we owe at that time. We can download the document to print it or send it by email by clicking on the Download PDF button.
