The Government Council of the Canary Islands has authorized this Monday the signing of the cooperation agreement between the Ministry of Families of the regional Executive and the Cabildo of Lanzarote to entrust it with the task of informing, advising, registering and processing applications as well as delivering paper copies of large family titles. The same will happen with the Cabildos of El Hierro and Fuerteventura.
The purpose of these cooperation agreements is to provide an agile, efficient and close response to large families residing in the three islands when exercising their right to recognition of such legal status and obtaining the administrative title that accredits it, its renewal, modification and / or duplicate.
In the case of the islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, this is the renewal of existing collaboration agreements, while, in the case of the island of El Hierro, it represents the first collaboration agreement in this matter signed between Social Welfare and the island administration.
Currently, in the Canary Islands, a total of 27,818 families have a large family card. Of that calculation, 2,792 families reside in Lanzarote; 2,160 in Fuerteventura and 166, on the island of El Hierro.
The agreement articulates the cooperation between the Ministry of Social Welfare, Equality, Youth, Childhood and Families and the Island Councils of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and El Hierro through which the island institution is entrusted with actions related to the issuance of titles of large families by electronic means, as well as their renewal, modification or issuance due to loss of title and, on the other hand, information and advice on the matter.
The entrusted actions will be carried out under the supervision, direction and coordination of the General Directorate of Child and Family Protection, the administrative body competent to issue the resolutions and other procedural acts of the procedures involved in the assignment. Under the aforementioned agreement, each administration will assume the execution of this agreement with its own personal, economic and material resources.
In this way, the aforementioned Cabildos will proceed to the presentation and processing of applications for recognition of a large family, issuance of titles, renewal, modification and duplication, electronically, at the request of interested parties, through the computer application owned by the General Directorate of Child and Family Protection.
In addition, the Cabildo staff will advise and provide information to interested parties regarding the requirements that must be met to obtain the status of a large family, as well as the procedures involved in the various procedures related to large family cards.
