Frequently asked questions
What is this paperwork guide?
A short, neutral summary of the most common procedures for people living in Córdoba, based on the official pages of the City Council, the regional government and the State. Each guide links to its source and says when it was checked. The official pages are in Spanish.
Can I do the procedure from here?
No. Cordoba.chat doesn’t process anything or ask for personal data: each guide links to the official website or e-office where it is done, and to its appointment system.
What do I need to do procedures online?
Almost all require you to identify yourself with a digital certificate, an electronic DNI or Cl@ve.
What if something doesn’t match the official website?
The official page always prevails. Amounts and deadlines are only given when an official page publishes them.
