A useful Spanish visa health insurance certificate should usually show the applicant's name, insurer name, policy start date, cover period and healthcare cover in Spain. Depending on your visa route and checklist, it may also need to show no-copay wording, no waiting period wording, repatriation wording or proof that the policy is active. For the full guide, see the health insurance certificate page.
The certificate is usually the main healthcare document in the visa file, so unclear wording can cause questions.

If your certificate is missing required wording, you may need updated wording or a replacement policy — see what to do if the consulate asks for better insurance.
