General Register

The Banco de España has a Single General Registry System to receive, send and note incoming or outgoing requests, documents and communications that must be registered.

The Central Registry, in Madrid, and the Auxiliary Registries in branches, make up the in-house registers. In the near future, the implementation of an Electronic Register is scheduled, as a new service available at the Bank's Virtual Office. The registry offices come functionally under the General Secretariat.

The functions of the Central Registry and the Auxiliary Registries are:

• To receive requests, documents and notifications addressed to the Banco de España and to send requests, documents and notifications addressed by any Banco de España body, unit or service to other bodies, institutions or private individuals.
• To note entry and departure records of the requests, documents and notifications.
• To issue receipts , at the time of presentation of the requests, documents and notifications, which accredit the entry of the same in the in-house Registers.
• To stamp the copies of original documents when the regulatory norms of a procedure of administrative action require these to be provided, as long as the individual provides the original documents and copies of the same together with the requests, documents and notifications that they present in the in-house registers.
• To issue certified or collated copies of original documents , when the regulatory norms of a procedure of administrative action require these to be provided, as long as the individual provides the original documents and copies of the same together with the requests, documents and notifications that they present in the in-house registers.
