Correct errors in your Spanish vida laboral
Describe an employment-history gap precisely. A useful correction request identifies period, employer and requested change rather than merely saying the report is wrong.
Start with a current report
Save the complete vida laboral and retrieval date. Check whether filters restricted the report. Mark each suspected discrepancy separately without overwriting the original.
Specify the error
Record employer, start, end and displayed details. Distinguish missing registration, incorrect dates and duplicates. Overlapping jobs are not automatically errors.
Organise relevant evidence
Match contracts, payslips, registration confirmations and correspondence to each period. Provide an orderly evidence list. Avoid attaching unrelated third-party records.
Apply to TGSS
The official service allows changes and additions of missing situations. Check identification and evidence requirements. Keep the receipt and reference; applying does not mean the correction is approved.
Compare the result
Obtain an updated report after processing and check the relevant lines. Foreign insurance periods are not simply Spanish employment entries. Pension coordination or contribution-base corrections may require separate procedures.
