Guía completa
What you need to have to hand
- Cl@ve, certificado digital o DNIe that works (and the PIN).
- Resolución de tu pensión or the case number and your NIF/NIE.
- Libro de familia or certificados literales de nacimiento for each child.
- If there’s adoption or children born outside Spain, the resolutions and the legalisations/translations required.
- If you are a man, evidence of impact on your career: reductions of working hours, excedencias for childcare, employment interruptions, custody rulings, etc.
Documentation
- Identity: DNI/NIE. If someone files for you, an authorisation or power of attorney.
- List of children: libro de familia or literal certificates from the Registro Civil.
- Pension: recognition resolution or case details.
- Adoptions / foreign births: court resolution and registrations with apostille/translation if required.
- Male applicants: everything that proves career harm due to fatherhood.
- Bank account: the INSS usually pays into the same pension account, but have the IBAN ready in case they ask.
Step by step
- Go to the Sede: https://sede.seg-social.gob.es and log in with Cl@ve.
- Tu Seguridad Social: open your pension record. If you see “Solicitar complemento por brecha de género”, click it.
- Fill the application: state number of children, details and attach the certificates. If you’re a man, briefly explain the impact and attach proofs.
- Not seeing the option? File an escrito via the Registro Electrónico Común: https://rec.redsara.es (Organismo: Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social (INSS); asunto: “Solicitud complemento por brecha de género”). Attach everything as PDFs.
- Register and save the receipt (registration number / CSV). Without that there’s no record.
- Notifications: check https://notificaciones.060.es and the Sede. If they ask for subsanación, reply in time attaching the missing docs.
- Decision and payment: when it’s recognised, check the payment on the next pension payment. If there are errors or a denial, move to reclamación previa.
Tricks that save you time
- One PDF per block: merge all child certificates into a single PDF; the Sede sometimes rejects too many separate attachments.
- Submit in the morning and use Chrome: the INSS site crashes less then.
- Vida laboral: if you’re a man, attach your vida laboral even if the INSS can access it. Avoid extra requests.
- Keep copies of everything: save PDFs and the registration receipt. It helps if you need to appeal.
Typical mistakes that mess up the process
- Uploading blurry photos of the libro de familia. Always send a clear PDF.
- Not proving foreign adoptions with legalisation/translation: direct denial.
- Trusting subsanación deadlines: if you miss the 10 días, they archive the file.
- Submitting to the INSS when your pension is Clases Pasivas: they’ll send it back and you’ll lose weeks.
- Assuming you’ll get retroactive pay by default: unless the INSS erred, the supplement starts from the month after you file.
- 1.Check your pension is INSS and contributory. If it’s Clases Pasivas (Hacienda), this is not handled by the INSS.
- 2.Log in with Cl@ve at the Sede de la Seguridad Social: https://sede.seg-social.gob.es and go to Tu Seguridad Social > your pension. Look for “Solicitar complemento por brecha de género”.
- 3.If you don’t see the option, use the Registro Electrónico Común: https://rec.redsara.es choose Organismo “Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social (INSS)”, asunto “Solicitud complemento por brecha de género”, and attach the documentation in PDF.
- 4.Fill in the application, stating how many children you have and attach the libro de familia / certificates. If you’re a man, add the proofs of impact on your career.
- 5.Submit and save the receipt (registration number / CSV). Keep copies of everything on your computer.
- 6.Watch notifications at https://notificaciones.060.es and on the Sede. If they ask for subsanación, reply within the deadline attaching what’s missing by the same channel.
- 7.When it’s granted, check the first payment. If it’s wrong or they deny it, file a reclamación previa through the same registro within the deadline.
- DNI or NIE of the applicant (and, if someone acts for you, the authorisation or power of attorney).
- Resolution of your pension or, at least, your pension case number / NIF linked to the pension.
- Libro de familia or literal birth certificates for each child (Registro Civil).
- For adoptions: court resolution or adoption certificate registered in the Spanish Registro Civil.
- If the children were born outside Spain: consular certification/legalisation/apostille and, if applicable, sworn translation.
- If you are a man: proof that fatherhood affected your career (work-time reductions, parental leave/excedencias, employment interruptions, custody rulings, etc.).
- Bank details (IBAN) in case the INSS needs to confirm paying the supplement to the same pension account.
Efectos económicos
If you ask after your pension was already recognised and they didn’t add it automatically, usually effects start from the month after your request. Don’t expect big retroactivity unless the INSS made an error.
No es acumulable con el viejo complemento de maternidad
If you already receive the old maternity complement, you won’t get two supplements. The INSS applies whichever is appropriate and compensates if needed.
Subsanación exprés
If they ask you to subsanar, they usually give 10 días. Don’t leave it to the last day; if you miss it they archive the case and you’ll have to start again.
La sede se cuelga
The INSS Sede sometimes performs worse on mobile and in the afternoon. Try Chrome and early morning. Put each block of documents in a single PDF to avoid rejections.
Who can ask for this supplement if I’m a man?
Only if you prove that fatherhood harmed your career (reduced hours, parental leave/excedencias, interruptions, etc.). The INSS assesses it case by case. Attach every document you have that shows the impact.
Can I request it if I already get the old maternity complement?
They don’t add them together. If you already had the old one, the INSS will compare and keep whichever applies. Switching to the new one can be worse, so check first.
How long do they take to decide?
Usual timeframe is 1–4 semanas if everything is clear. If they ask for subsanación or there are doubts (especially in men’s requests), it can go to 1–3 months.
Is there any fee or tasa?
No. It’s free. There’s no Modelo de tasas for this.
What if my pension is Clases Pasivas (Hacienda)?
That goes through the Dirección General de Costes de Personal y Pensiones Públicas, not the INSS. Don’t file it with the INSS — they’ll bounce it back.
Can I ask for retroactive payments?
If you were entitled from the moment the pension was recognised and it was an administrative error, you can get effects from that date. If you simply didn’t ask then, the norm is from the month after your request.
What do I do if they deny it?
File a reclamación previa with the INSS within 30 days of the notification, via the Sede or https://rec.redsara.es. If that is rejected, the next step is the social courts.
