Passengers whose verification (through the Automatic Resident Accreditation System of the Ministry of Public Works) has not been carried out successfully, must prove their residence status with one of the following documents: 

  • Children under 14 years of age without an ID document: must always travel with the Certificado de Empadronamiento para Viaje (Municipal Registration Certificate for Travel), because as they don't have an ID document, telematic validation can be done through the Ministry of Public Works system. 
  • Spanish citizens, EU citizens and citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland: Certificado de Empadronamiento para Viajar issued by the city council, together with the ID, NIE or passport. 
  • Non-EU citizens: Certificado de Empadronamiento para Viaje (Municipal Registration Certificate for Travel) issued by the city government, together with the Spanish resident card, stating the family situation of the EU citizen, or the long term or permanent residence. 
  • Members of parliament or senators: credentials certifying the status of a member of parliament or senator. 

No other document or supporting document other than those stated above will be valid. National ID cards and passports will be used to verify identity, but not residence. Air Europa reserves the right to refuse boarding to a passenger if it detects any deficiency or anomaly, or if a passenger cannot prove their residence by means of the resident certificate. 

If you are entitled to a resident discount, you must present a valid DNI or passport at the time of the flight.
