Through this Model EX16 , the foreigner who is in Spain can request the travel document, certifying that it is an exceptional need to leave Spanish territory and they cannot provide their own passport. Or on the other hand, request the registration card that allows you to document it.

It is the issuance of a travel title  that enables foreigners documented  by means of a registration card  to leave Spanish territory and to the specified countries and return to Spanish territory.

If the object of the travel document is exclusively to enable the return of the applicant to his country of nationality or residence, the travel document will not contain an authorization to return to Spain.
