- Edat:

The primary holders of the CAPI must be 23 or older.

Exceptionally, the following may be holders:
▪    Persons of legal age or emancipated minors when they have children or minors in foster care for the purpose of adoption or permanent family foster care.
▪    Absolute orphans who are the only members of the household, none of whom has reached the age of 23. In these household units there must be minors in their care.

For minors, the age considered will be their age on 1 January of the year in which the application is made.

– Registration in the municipal register:

In all cases, both the primary holder and all beneficiaries (all members of the household unit) must be registered in a Spanish municipality.

All members of the household unit must be registered at the same address.

– Legal residence:

In all cases, both the primary holder and all beneficiaries must have legal and continuous residence in Spain for at least one year prior to submitting the application (1 year).

Exceptionally, the one-year residency requirement is not necessary for:

▪    Minors who have been incorporated into the household due to birth, adoption, family reunification of children, guardianship for adoption purposes, or permanent foster care.
▪    Women victims of gender-based violence.
▪    Victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

The following documentation can be used to prove legal residency:

▪    Spanish citizens: Spanish national identity document (DNI).
▪    EU citizens residing in Spain: Certificate of registration as an EU national showing their identity number for foreign nationals (NIE), along with their passport or identity document from their country of origin.
▪    Other foreigners residing in Spain: Identity card for foreign nationals (TIE) containing the person's identity number for foreign nationals (NIE) and passport number.
▪    Women who are victims of gender-based violence and individuals who are victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation can prove their legal residency in Spain with the provisional residence permit (residence permit for exceptional circumstances).

- Requirements for household units:

A household unit is made up of all the individuals who have been living in the same household for at least six months before applying.

In the case of CAPI, the household unit must include minors among its members.

The members must have one of following relationships:
▪    Marriage.
▪    Domestic partnership:
o    The domestic partnership must have been officially registered for at least two years before the application and
o    The couple must have lived together continuously for at least five years before applying for the benefit.
▪    Kinship up to the second degree by blood or affinity (parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, in-laws and siblings-in-law).
▪    Adoption or permanent foster care. In cases of joint custody established by court order, the minors are considered part of the household unit of the residence where they are registered in the municipal register.

The same person cannot be part of more than one household unit.
The regulations provide for exceptional cases (special situations) in which individuals living in households with close relatives are not considered part of the household unit, specifically:

a)    Victims of gender-based violence who have had to leave their home, either alone or with children or minors in their care.
b)    Individuals undergoing separation, annulment or divorce proceedings, or who have formally dissolved a domestic partnership, if they have had to leave their usual residence.  In the case of unregistered domestic partnerships, proof must be provided that legal proceedings for the custody and care of minors have been initiated.
c)    Individuals who have been evicted or have lost their home due to an accident or force majeure, as well as other regulated situations.

In cases b) and c), the person is considered an independent unit only for the three years following the event.

It also provides for these two special cohabitation cases:

▪    When people without family ties live together in a household, only those at risk of social exclusion, as accredited by social services or third-sector organisations, can be the holders of the IMV.
▪    In the case of individuals registered in collective establishments or homeless, the household unit includes only the spouse or domestic partner and, if applicable, minor descendants up to the first degree (children).  In some cases, descendants up to the second degree may be included if they do not live with their first-degree parents.

– Employment status:

The benefit is compatible with work, as long as the household income does not exceed the established limits.

▪    Persons of legal age or emancipated minors who are not working must be registered as job seekers.
▪    Individual beneficiaries under 30 years of age must have been registered with the Social Security for at least 12 months, continuous or not, during a minimum period of two years of independent living before applying.

– Income:

In order to determine the situation of economic vulnerability, the economic capacity of the household unit will be taken into consideration, calculating the resources of all its members.

The table shows the maximum annual and monthly income thresholds for 2025 depending on the number of beneficiaries in the household unit. In both cases, the income thresholds are higher than those of the IMV.
