- Public document certifying the representation.
- Registration data, where applicable, in public register.
- In the case of a public position, professional college or qualification, provision of an official document attesting to this.
- Identification of authorized person and proxy.
We also attach the report with the references to these requirements in the regulations.
2.- Who can apply for a Representative T-CAT?
It can be held by the positions that, in accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions applicable to their organization, are attributed the legal or voluntary representation of the entity. For example:
- Town councils: Mayor/Mayor (no, municipal secretaries).
- Provincial Councils, Regional Councils: President.
- Other entities of the public sector of Catalonia: according to what is established by the specific regulatory regulations and/or the statutes of the entity.
It is also possible to delegate the powers in favor of other organs of the body. To obtain the TCAT of Representative, the delegation must be documented (for example, with a resolution) and the subsequent publication in the official bulletins or the mechanism provided for in the Statutes.

In other words, whoever has this Representative T-CAT can use it before any Administration and for all administrative actions without restrictions. It is your responsibility to use it correctly and in accordance with the functions assigned/recognized.
