Order ISM/189/2021, of March 3, which regulates the Electronic Register of Powers of Attorney of the Social Security, which will come into force on April 2.
This order aims to regulate the requirements and operating conditions of the Electronic Register of Powers of Attorney of the Social Security (hereinafter the register), in which the powers of attorney that are voluntarily granted "apud acta" in favor of a third party, in person or electronically, by the person who has the status of interested party in an administrative procedure, to act on their behalf before the Social Security Administration, will be registered.
It will be unique within the Social Security Administration and will be accessible on the electronic headquarters of the State Secretariat for Social Security and Pensions (hereinafter SEDESS).
The following types of powers of attorney may be registered:
a) General power of attorney, so that the attorney can carry out on behalf of the principal any administrative action in all matters, procedures and groups of procedures included in Annex I, without being able to waive or revoke the power separately with respect to any of them.
b) Power of attorney by subject matter, so that the attorney can act on behalf of the principal and carry out any of the procedures and/or groups of procedures in the subject matter selected from among those listed in Annex I, without being able to waive or revoke the power separately with respect to any of these procedures.
c) Power of attorney for procedures and/or groups of procedures, so that the attorney can act on behalf of the principal only in those procedures and/or groups of procedures selected from among those listed in Annex I, and the power of attorney can be waived or revoked separately with respect to any of them.
Powers of attorney granted "apud acta" may be carried out by electronic appearance at the SEDESS, by appearance of the natural person at the Social Security registry assistance offices and by appearance of the natural person at the registry assistance offices of other public administrations or bodies.
Powers of attorney registered in the registry will have a maximum validity of five years, starting from the date of their registration. At any time before the end of the period indicated in the previous section, the principal may modify, revoke, or extend the validity of the power of attorney.
The express acceptance of the attorney-in-fact will be required in cases where the power of attorney includes the receipt of communications or notifications. The attorney-in-fact must expressly accept the power of attorney within a maximum period of one month from its granting.
