Example
Example: a British yoga teacher in Málaga declares she meets the rules to open a studio
Emma Clarke (fictitious), a British resident of Málaga with an NIE, is opening a small yoga studio in a ground-floor unit, and the office handling it asks for a declaración responsable. She fills in the form in English, and types the purpose and two extra requirements in Spanish, because they are printed as she types them.
- Full name Emma Clarke; NIE Y1234567X; address Calle Ejemplo 12, 3.º B, 29016 Málaga.
- What it is for: “la apertura de un estudio de yoga en Calle Ejemplo 14, local 2, de Málaga”. It is slotted into the four undertakings after “para”, so it is written to follow that word.
- What you declare, one requirement per line, each ending with a full stop: “El local cuenta con seguro de responsabilidad civil en vigor.” and “No se realizan obras en el local.”
- Addressed to: Ayuntamiento de Málaga, Área de Urbanismo. Place Málaga, date 2 March 2026.

declaracion-responsable.pdf, titled DECLARACIÓN RESPONSABLE, with a signature line marked “Firma” above her name and the art. 69.4 warning in small print at the foot. Nothing of ours is printed on it. She signs it by hand and hands it in with the rest of her papers.
How it works

- Download, sign and hand it in.
Frequently asked questions
- What must it say?
- That you meet the requirements, hold the documents that prove it, will show them when asked, and will keep meeting them (Ley 39/2015, art. 69.1). The PDF writes all four around what you enter.
- Does it have to be in Spanish?
- Yes: it is handed in in Spain, so the paper is in Spanish. This page’s form is in English; what you type into the statement box should be in Spanish.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It is a form. If in doubt about what you may declare, ask the office that wants it or a lawyer.
- What if I leave “What it is for” empty?
- If the statement box is empty too, the four undertakings are still printed, with a blank line after “para” to write the procedure in by hand. If you type statement lines but no purpose, only your lines are printed and the four undertakings are left out, so name the procedure whenever you want them on the paper.
- Do I have to start each line with “Que”?
- No. Every line of the statement becomes its own paragraph starting with “Que”, the way Spanish declarations are written: “El local cuenta con seguro…” prints as “Que el local cuenta con seguro…”. A line that already starts with Que is left as it is. No full stop is added, so end each line with one.
- What happens to the fields I leave empty?
- Name, ID number, address and place print as lines to fill in with a pen, so you can also print a blank declaration and complete it by hand. An empty date becomes today’s date, written in Spanish (“a 2 de marzo de 2026”).
- Is what I type uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device. Nothing of ours is printed on the paper.
