Current status report from the Seguridad Social (your alta/baja today)

What you need to have ready

1. DNI/NIE and your Número de la Seguridad Social (not always required, but helps to verify everything).
2. Cl@ve (PIN or permanent), certificado digital or DNIe. If you don’t have these, you can try SMS access if your mobile is in the Seguridad Social database.
3. Mobile with signal (for SMS) and an email to save the PDF.
4. A decent browser. If the PDF viewer gives trouble, use Chrome or download the file.

Documentation

• Identity document (DNI/NIE).
• Electronic credential: Cl@ve, certificado or DNIe. Alternative: SMS access (if your phone is on the Seguridad Social records).
• Up-to-date contact details in Import@ss (phone and email) to avoid dumb blocks.
• PDF reader to open the report you download.

Step by step

1. Go to importass.seg-social.es and open Vida laboral e informes.
2. Click Informe de situación actual.
3. Identify with Cl@ve, certificado/DNIe or SMS. If the SMS doesn’t arrive, your mobile isn’t registered.
4. Hit Consultar/Descargar. In seconds you’ll see your régimen, employer (if employed) or your status as autónomo, and the date of alta. If you’re not registered, it will say sin situación de alta.
5. Download the PDF. It includes a CSV (Código Seguro de Verificación) at the bottom so whoever receives it can verify it on the Sede Electrónica de la Seguridad Social.
6. If something doesn’t match (a missing alta, odd dates), compare with your vida laboral and, if it’s still wrong, submit a query to TGSS via Import@ss or book an in-person appointment.

Time-saving tips

• No Cl@ve? SMS access can save you — as long as your mobile is on file. Update Datos personales > Contacto in Import@ss and you’re set.
• If they want “something from today”, this is quicker than the vida laboral (which is also immediate but heavier and can load slowly).
• Download the PDF instead of just viewing it in the browser. Less chance of issues and you can forward it straight away.
• If you just processed an alta minutes ago, wait a bit. The system doesn’t always reflect changes instantly.

Common mistakes that will mess up the process

1. Trying SMS with a non-registered mobile: you won’t get the code. Fix: register your phone in Import@ss or use Cl@ve/certificado.
2. Mixing it up with the vida laboral: if they want the full history, this one won’t do. Check which document they asked for.
3. Browser blocking the PDF: the report “doesn’t download” and you get stuck. Explicitly download it or switch browser.
4. Very recent altas not showing: don’t assume it’s wrong. Wait a few hours and try again.
5. Sending screenshots instead of the PDF with CSV: sometimes they won’t accept those. Send the original PDF with its CSV.
