What is the rectification of a Residencia Temporal granted?
This is a procedure for foreigners who have been granted a Residencia Temporal permit, but who have NOT yet downloaded their Estampado Electrónico, since they wish to:
- Become holders of another subcategory, different from the one they were granted; and/or
- Change their status from dependent to holder or vice versa; and/or
- Rectify the permit term because it presents an error, and/or
- Correct names, surnames, date of birth and/or nationality. For this particular case, rectification can be requested with the Estampado Electrónico unloaded or unloaded.
Important!
As of December 13th of 2024, rectification requests must be made exclusively digitally.
Where do I apply for this rectification?
To apply for the rectification of Temporary Residence granted, you have two options:
- Request it directly on the Digital Procedures Portal, entering with your password to the option “Rectificación de Residencia Temporal otorgada”.
* Spanish only.
- When SERMIG grants your Temporary Residence, go to your inbox in the Procedures Portal, look for your application ID and press the “Realizar” button.
Once inside the procedure, you will see the Estampado Electrónico. If you detect any error in the information, select the option: “No confirmo. El documento presenta errores y/o quiero rectificar datos” (I do not confirm. The document has errors and/or I want to rectify the data).
Then, indicate the data you need to rectify:
